New racism is an influential term coined in 1981 by scholar Martin Barker, in the context of the ideologies supporting Margaret Thatcher rise in the UK, to refer to racist public discourse depicting immigrants as a threat.

1980s immigrations flows

Xenophobic sentiment has reemerged in European countries starting from the 1980s, when the increase in global inequalities between poor and rich countries led to significant immigration flows, which were exploited by conservative political leaders as Margaret Thatcher and Bettino Craxi.

Late 2000s resurgence

The resurgence of racism in Europe 2008-2011, is a trend that sees a significant increase in racist anti-immigrant sentiments all over the Europena countries, and a large increase in the electoral support to anti-immigrant political parties. The trend is in part linked to the ongoing 2008 financial crisis and the Great Recession.

   The raids reflected a growing anti-immigrant sentiment among electorates and governing rightist parties in European countries from Italy to France and the Netherlands - a sentiment that has in part grown out of the Continent's economic stagnation.
