The Return of the Native: Navigating between Nostalgic Nativism and Hopeful Liberalism

Public Lecture Series

Jan Willem Duyvendak will present his co-authored new book The Return of the Native (Oxford University Press, 2023) that explores the extraordinary rise of nativism in liberal settings, paying particular attention to nativist narratives that intertwine islamophobia, racism, populism and nostalgia. He will discuss the rise of nativism in France, the US and the Netherlands, focusing on striking similarities and small differences.
