Abstract

Overall, the book illustrates how Europe's constructed others - and notably our very understanding of the idea of Europe (and not-Europe) - has historically been and is still being shaped through conspiracy theories. Various chapters, particularly those written by Eirikur Bergmann and by Estrella Gualda - which are, respectively, about the "Eurabia Conspiracy Theory" and about the 'Metaphors of Invasion and how Europe is imagined as endangered by Islamisation' - explore the position of Islam as the absolute "other" in different conspiracy theories I à la i Great Replacement. This amalgam is not only increasingly active in the streets and in the Internet, but also in the European Union (EU) Parliament and in the national and regional parliaments of the member states.
