Great Replacement Theory

This book is about the Great Replacement (French: Grand Remplacement), often known as the Replacement Hypothesis. It asserts that the white population of France is being displaced by non-European people as a result of mass migration, demographic expansion, and a European birth rate decline. Renaud Camus, a French novelist, popularized the word. According to Renaud Camus's thesis on the Great Replacement (or "conspiracy theory"), the indigenous French people are being demographically displaced by non-European peoples via a process of "peopling immigration" facilitated by a "replacist authority." According to Camus, the phrase "great replacement" is not a notion but a "phenomenon."

Albert Camus regularly refers to the time of Nazi-occupied France (1940–1945) in his writings. This comparison to the French resistance to Nazism has been seen as an implied appeal to hostility, direct action, and even violence against what Camus refers to as the "Occupiers," or immigrants.
