Renaud Camus is a French writer and political activist, born on August 5, 1946. He is best known for his literary works, including novels and essays, which often explore themes of identity, culture, and society. Camus gained significant attention for his controversial views on immigration and demographic change in France. In addition to his writing, Camus is known for developing the concept of the “Great Replacement,” a theory suggesting that native populations in Europe are being replaced by immigrants. This idea has sparked considerable debate and criticism, positioning him as a polarizing figure in contemporary discussions about immigration and national identity.
