Across Europe, economic anxieties, ideological disorientation and the anger resulting from perplexed insecurity have fuelled the rediscovery of ethnicity as a source of belonging and of ostensible certainty. One activist xenophobic ideology bent on overcoming liberalism and the Enlightenment heritage is the self-styled European New Right (ENR), originally of French origin, but inspired by the interwar German «conservative revolution». In the concept of ethno-pluralism, the ENR's anti-egalitarian and anti-universalist stance has found its pointed expression. Defining pluralism in terms of the external diversity of internally homogeneous - never pluricultural - societies, the ENR opposes «concrete» homogeneous cultures to the «abstract» liberal agenda, labeling the latter «totalitarian» for its universalist creed. «Culture» emerges as a medium to establish «identity», which in its turn is constructed as ethnic identity. Ascertaining mutual diversity as unchangeable, stigmatizing the mixing of cultures and ethnicities as the supreme evil, ethno-pluralism requires exclusivity of cultures in given areas. Such «differentialist» racism is intended to legitimize preserving the supposed «integrity» of European cultures against immigrants with differing cultural backgrounds. Its analysis provides an additional opportunity for a closer look at some of the problems - including the pros and cons of consociational democracy - which a non-racist, non-assimilationist «politics of inclusion» is facing.
