Something fundamental is changing in the positioning of various groups in Western European societies. To understand these shifts, framing them as previously – e.g. “racism” – may inadvertently obscure much of what is going on today. The terms in which exclusion is legitimized today seem to be less related to phenotype and more to (assumed) cultural differences, often mapped onto territorial divides. In my research project, the project aims to better understanding how across Western Europe, particularly in France and the Netherlands, “nativist” discourses exist. Whereas in the Netherlands empirical evidence shows that “nativism” is partly replacing “racism” (in political discourse as well as in the experiences of various minority groups themselves), the picture is less clear in France. The main objective is to describe and analyze this anti-Muslim, nativist discourse and its precise impact on “traditional”, skin-color coded racism in France and the Netherlands.
