Zócalo at the Hammer: "What's the West's Problem with Islam" with Christopher Caldwell November 19, 2008

Christopher Caldwell will discuss themes from his upcoming book, Reflections on the Revolution in Europe: Immigration, Islam and the West. He claims that many immigrant and second-generation communities throughout Europe have astronomical unemployment rates and a thin connection to European identity and that these problems are particularly severe among newcomers from the Muslim world. His book investigates the causes of these circumstances and asks who is to blame. Caldwell writes regularly for The Financial Times, New York Times Magazine, and The Weekly Standard. The Lecture will be followed by a signing in the Hammer Bookstore.
