Renaud Camus

Renaud Camus (b. 1946) is a French writer who popularized the Great Replacement theory in a 2011 essay titled "Le Grand Replacement," or "the great replacement." Camus focused on the belief that native white Europeans are being replaced in their countries by non-white immigrants, namely Muslims, who he asserted have a much higher birth rate than whites. His initial concept did not focus on Jews and was not antisemitic, but that element was later added by white supremacists who accepted the concept into the "white genocide" narrative.
