The demographic anthropology is fascinating with Catholic zombies and the EU "cadres." Tony Judt once criticized Todd for his demographic analysis but nevertheless accepted his conclusions. The conclusions of this book are troubling but need to be examined carefully. While the future is foreboding, Todd also sees the possibility of positive solutions.
Todd's book was bound to cause controversy. It appeared in its original form while feelings were still high after the killings last January. However, his critique of the emotional response and his use of demographics to breakdown and analyze the people who turned out to protest in the days after the massacre is very important.
The book is very readable and adds a lot to the debate about contemporary France, the decline of religion in general and Catholicism in particular as well as the rise of xenophobia and Islamophobia that seem to be filling the Catholic void.
The thesis is not perfect, there are a lot of presuppositions that are unproven and Todd has prejudices and blind spots of his own. There are a lot of turns of phrase that sound elegant in French but when translated into English sound clunky. There is a good book trying to escape from Todd's work, hopefully it will come along soon.… (mais)

L’historien et démographe Emmanuel Todd a publié à l’automne 2002, un essai qui avançait des idées originales, une vision lucide de la crise qui se dessinait entre le monde et les États-Unis. S’appuyant sur les données démographiques, économiques, Emmanuel Todd construit un portrait du déclin de l’Amérique cohérent et logique.
Republié en 2004 en format de poche dans la collection Folio, cet essai est écrit dans un style abordable et cohérent. Intéressant et instructif. A lire en tandem avec Le choc des civilisations de Samuel Huntington.… (mais)
