A commercial genre of European collapse literature has formed around the Muslim demographic threat

Evidence

Books like Walter Laqueur’ s The Last Days of Europe: Epitaph for an Old Continent (2007) and Henryk M. Broder’s Hurray! We’re Capitulating! (2006) may be seen as full-length alarms of an impending collapse. The Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci’s The Force of Reason (2004) explicitly raises the specter of Eurabia in a passionate attack on Europe’s multiculturalism and relativism that gained widespread attention. — Michael A. Reynolds and Thomas D. Grant, The Future of Europe and Its Muslims, 199

Categorization

  • SEED: Review essay of the ‘Europe is falling’ genre — 2004-2007 as its peak moment, and how little its predictions aged well.
  • XREF: Connects to Strangers in the Land’s pattern of nativist alarm literature as a recurring American genre — the same publishing format, a continent apart.
