When migration becomes conflict

I When migration becomes conflict - Political group dynamics Jonas Nilsson has collected eleven essays, the underlying thread of which is political group dynamics. Nilsson assumes that groups are constituted by their identity, and that when groups try to promote their interests, a breeding ground for conflict is created, as these interests will eventually clash with the interests of other groups.

To understand what is the biggest political challenge of our time, you have to look at the opposition. What does the opposition want to prevent or change? What is the issue that creates enmity, that divides our political leadership and all the people they represent against the opposition? It is not the climate issue that is the barrier between opposition and establishment - it is demography, immigration and multiculturalism that is the greatest political conflict of our time.

The selection of essays and transcribed speeches that touch on political group dynamics is based on the inescapable identity your origins have given you. An identity you cannot leave, because wherever you are, you are there. You carry an identity marker - whether you like it or not. Even if you, as a white person, do not consider yourself white, with a white identity, you are white and others can see it whether you choose to see it or not.
