The Rising Tide of Color Against White World-Supremacy

Common card · No. 374328

The Rising Tide of Color: The Threat Against White World-Supremacy is a 1920 nonfiction book by American author Lothrop Stoddard about racialism and geopolitics, which foresees the collapse of white supremacy and colonialism due to population growth among people of color, rising nationalism in colonized nations, and industrialization in China and Japan. To counter the perceived geopolitical threat, Stoddard advocated Nordicism, racial segregation, and general racism, restricting non-white immigration into white-majority countries, which would dilute the national concentrations of the "Nordic race"; restricting Asian migration to Africa; and slowly giving independence to European colonies in Asia (including the Middle East). A noted eugenicist, Stoddard supported a separation of the "primary races" of the world, warning against miscegenation and the acceptance of interracial marriage and multiracial children.
