Brilliant dissection of Christopher Caldwell’s book, ‘Reflections on the Revolution in Europe’ by Matt Carr on the Institute of Race Relations website: http://www.irr.org.uk/2009/july/ha000011.html.
Carr shows that while Caldwell’s book mirrors much of the Islamophobic hysteria of previous commentators in the ilk of Melanie Phillips and Bat Ye’Or, Caldwell’s “authorial persona is that of a puzzled and concerned observer of the European predicament, driven only by a willingness to consider all angles of a serious debate that others are ignoring. He is cultured and knowledgeable.” He has therefore been interviewed and reviewed on ‘serious’ radio shows and newspapers, making it incumbent upon us to dissect and understand this highly pernicious work.
