Oikophobia (
Greek:
oîkos, '
house,
household' +
phóbos, 'fear'; related to domatophobia and ecophobia) is a tendency to criticise or reject one's own home or home society while praising others. It has been used in
political contexts to refer critically to
political ideologies that are held to repudiate one's own culture. A prominent such usage was by
Roger Scruton in his 2004 book
England and the Need for Nations.
