Abstract

Since 1989, Europe has shifted radically—from ‘open society’ to ‘Fortress Europe’. Does the current racialization of immigration signal a return to the 1930s? Contrary to the old antidemocratic nationalisms, the new sexual nationalisms today claim to defend democratic values against various ‘others’. However, this instrumentalization should not lead to a rejection of sexual democracy, but rather to a clear distinction between ideals and identities.
