Whiteshift: Populism, Immigration and the Future of White Majorities is a 2018 non-fiction book written by Eric Kaufmann, a professor at Birkbeck College, University of London.[1] Described by The Economist as a "monumental study of ethno-demographic change",[2] Whiteshift covers politics in both Europe and North America and looks into the political views of the populist right.[3][4] Kaufmann argues that the rise of Donald Trump in America and the populist right in Europe is a reaction to sweeping demographic change rather than to "economic anxiety".[5]
