Unpacking Replacement Conspiracy Theories

In this terrific episode of Guerrilla History, Adnan and returning guest co-host Breht discuss the essays of an important new book studying many aspects of the history and contemporary expression of right wing demographic obsessions, anti-immigrant and fascistic patriarchies, and the politics of Islamophobia in Europe, North America and beyond with co-editors Luiz Manuel Hernandez Aguilar and Sarah Bracke.  The book is The Politics of Replacement: Demographic Fears, Conspiracy Theories, and Race Wars, and is definitely worth picking up!
