Christopher Caldwell Frasi e Citazioni

“Gli immigrati sono nel complesso meno istruiti degli italiani che vanno a sostituire, così aggiungono meno valore, almeno inizialmente. Esportano buona parte dei loro risparmi attraverso rimesse. E spesso, nuove spese sono sostenute per prepararli al lavoro, come ad esempio corsi di lingua italiana o di consulenza legale. […] Un altro problema è che l'Italia è la terra della Divina Commedia di Dante e della Cappella Sistina. Potrebbe essere possibile convincere un americano o un australiano a credere (o dire) che un grande arrivo di migranti sarà un "arricchimento" culturale. È più difficile farlo in Italia, anche nel 21° secolo. L'immigrazione può arricchire l'Italia in molti modi, ma è improbabile che lo faccia culturalmente. È altrettanto improbabile che lo faccia fiscalmente.”

Christopher Caldwell: Frasi in inglese

“[Y]ou see evidence in the united Europe—in which there is free circulation of people and ideas—of a much more homegrown European-style antisemitism. You see a sort of waning of vigilance. You see a rise of the kind of clubby, dinner-party type antisemitism in England, where it is very strong. So I do think there is a new antisemitism, but I'm afraid it hasn't so much replaced the old antisemitism as exists alongside of it.”

Interview with Bill Kristol (March 2017)

“[L]aws against Holocaust denial have done more harm than good. On a practical political level, I think that they give very intolerant mischief makers a cheap and easy way to pose as something more exalted than what they actually are, as sort of martyrs of free speech.”

Interview with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum (2007)

“The thing I worry about in Europe is that there is a logic of escalation in some of this. That the people whose voices aren’t heard have to do things to make their voices heard. Do you know what I mean? They’ll have to, you know, like, demonstrate and that kind of thing.”

Interview with Bill Kristol (March 2017)

“When an insecure, malleable, relativistic culture meets a culture that is anchored, confident and strengthened by common doctrines, it is generally the former that changes to suit the latter.”

Reflections on the Revolution in Europe (2009)

“One moves swiftly and imperceptibly from a world in which affirmative action can't be ended because its beneficiaries are too weak to a world in which it can't be ended because its beneficiaries are too strong.”

Reflections on the Revolution in Europe (2009)

“In no country in Europe does the bulk of the population aspire to live in a bazaar of world cultures. Yet all European countries are coming to the wrenching realization that they have somehow, without anyone's actively choosing it, turned into such bazaars.”

Reflections on the Revolution in Europe (2009)

“If one abandons the idea that Western Europeans are rapacious and exploitative by nature, and that Africans, Asians, and other would-be immigrants are inevitably their victims, then the fundamental difference between colonization and labor migration ceases to be obvious.”

Reflections on the Revolution in Europe (2009)

“Bizarrely, as immigration began to change Europe at its economic and cultural core, the political vocabulary remained the same as when immigration had been a fringe phenomenon. People kept talking about restaurants.”
