In particular, he tracks how the replacement narrative has given rise to malignant political strategies designed to \"take back\" the nation from its perceived enemies--by force if deemed necessary. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Identifying the Great Replacement narrative as a central force behind the rise and expansion of far-right extremism, Feola shows how it has motivated a variety of dangerous political projects in pursuit of illiberal, antidemocratic futures. From calls for the creation of segregated white ethnostates to extremist violence such as the mass shootings in Christchurch, El Paso, and Buffalo, \u003ci\u003eThe Rage of Replacement\u003c\/i\u003e makes clear that replacement theory poses a dire threat to democracy and safety. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Michael Feola is associate professor of government and law at Lafayette College and author of \u003ci\u003eThe Powers of Sensibility: Aesthetic Politics through Adorno, Foucault, and Rancière\u003c\/i\u003e.
