Michael Feola, associate professor, government and law, was quoted as a subject area expert in a June 17 Sacramento Bee article about threatened immigration raids in Democratic-run cities.
In the article, Feolo notes success in advancing anti-immigration messaging using a platform that’s tied to the Great Replacement narrative, which imagines that historic white majorities are being intentionally replaced through immigration policies. Feola’s 2024 book The Rage of Replacement traces how the “Great Replacement” narrative has shaped far-right extremism and propelled dangerous political projects and acts of violence.
