It has been lauded by Steve Bannon, one-time senior adviser to then-President Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, Trump’s top immigration policy adviser, and white supremacists in Europe and elsewhere around the world.Ī few excerpts give a sense of the novel’s bloodthirsty tone:
Today, it remains one of the two most important books in the white supremacist canon, the other being The Turner Diaries, a neo-Nazi novel depicting a future race war in America. Twelve years later, in 1995, Tanton’s Social Contract Press published it again and continued to sell it for decades. In 1983, heiress Cordelia May Scaife - the single largest funder of John Tanton, the racist architect of the modern anti-immigration movement - paid for its distribution in the United States. The book was initially translated into English by a mainstream American publisher in 1975, but it only took off in later years with its republication by racist anti-immigration activists. The book describes the takeover of France by “swarthy hordes” of Indians, “grotesque little beggars from the streets of Calcutta,” who are welcomed by treasonous white elites who, rather than turn the Indians away, “empty out all our hospital beds so that cholera-ridden and leprous wretches could sprawl between white sheets … and cram our nurseries full of monster children.” Toward the end, white women are forced into “whorehouse for Hindus.” It was written in 1973 by a far-right monarchist named Jean Raspail. The Camp of the Saints is a dystopian French novel depicting the invasion of France by a flotilla of bestial, feces-eating immigrants from India.
