In light of cultural crises such as the Danish cartoon controversy and
the terrorist attack on the Charlie Hebdo newspaper in Paris,
Christopher Caldwell’s incisive perspective has never been more
timely or indispensible. Reflections on the Revolution in Europe is
destined to become the classic work on how Muslim immigration
permanently reshaped the West. This provocative and unflinching
analysis of Europe’s unexpected influx of immigrants investigates
the increasingly prominent Muslim populations actively shaping the
future of the continent. Muslims dominate or nearly dominate many
important European cities, including Amsterdam and Rotterdam,
Strasbourg and Marseille, the Paris suburbs and East London, and in
those cities Islam has challenged the European way of life at every
turn, becoming, in effect, an “adversary culture.” In Reflections
on the Revolution in Europe, Caldwell examines the anger of natives
and newcomers alike. He exposes the strange ways in which welfare
states interact with Third World customs, the anti-Americanism that
brings European natives and Muslim newcomers together, and the
arguments over women and sex that drive them apart. He considers the
appeal of sharia, “resistance,” and jihad to a second generation
that is more alienated from Europe than the first, and addresses a
crisis of faith among native Europeans that leaves them with a weak
hand as they confront the claims of newcomers.
