In her book, The Roots of Racism – The Politics of White Supremacy in the US and Europe, Terri E. Givens examines the connections between immigration policy and racism that have contributed to the rise of anti-immigrant, radical-right parties in Europe, the rise of Trumpism in the US, and the Brexit vote in the UK.
