The Rising Tide Of Color by Lothrop Stoddard
Against White World-Supremacy
A polemical work from the early 20th century that advances a theory of global racial competition, arguing that non-European peoples are demographically and politically challenging Western dominance and that this 'rise' threatens civilization as the author defines it; it uses then-common scientific-racist and eugenic arguments to claim inherent differences between races and to advocate restrictive immigration, segregationist and imperial policies to preserve white political and cultural control. The book reflects and helped shape contemporary anxieties after World War I but is widely criticized today for its racist premises, pseudoscience, and support for discriminatory, authoritarian measures.
