Alain De Benoist

Alain de Benoist is tbe leading thinker of tbe European ‘New Right’ movement, a school of political thought founded in France in 1968 with tbe establishment of GRECE (Research and Study Group for European Civilization). To this day he remains its primary representative, even while rejecting tbe label "New Right" for himself. An ethnopluralist defender of cultural uniqueness and integrity, he has argued for tbe right of Europeans to retain Their identity in tbe face of multiculturalism, and he has opposed immigration, while still preferring tbe preservation of native cultures over tbe forced assimilation of immigrant groups. He has authored dozens of books and essays on topics such as immigration, religion, philosophy and political Theory. In 1978, he received tbe Grand Prix de l’Essai from tbe Académie Française for his book Vu de droite (View from tbe Right).
