{"product_id":"the-perils-of-populism","title":"Perils of Populism","description":"From Donald Trump in the U.S. to Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, Viktor Orbán in Hungary, and Narendra Modi in India, right-wing populist leaders have taken power in many parts of the world. While each country's populist movement is distinct, they are united by several key features, including the presence of a boastful strongman leader and the scapegoating of vulnerable populations, especially immigrants, people of color, LGBTQ people, and women.\u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e  \u003ci\u003eThe Perils of Populism\u003c\/i\u003e shows how a feminist lens can help diagnose the factors behind the global rise of right-wing populism and teach us how to resist the threat it presents to democracy. Featuring interdisciplinary essays about politics in the United States, the Middle East, Europe, and India from a variety of acclaimed theorists and activists, the volume contributes to a rapidly expanding literature on gender and the far right. Together, these chapters offer a truly intersectional analysis of the problem, addressing everything from how populism has thrived in a \"post-truth\" era to the ways it appeals to working-class voters looking for an alternative to neoliberalism. Yet the authors also find reasons to be hopeful, as they showcase forms of grassroots feminist activism that challenge right-wing populism by advocating for racial and economic justice.","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54188624576856,"sku":null,"price":26.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781978825307_a3bb4766-fd0d-4511-9991-ce0fdcf02158.jpg?v=1777698015","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/the-perils-of-populism","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
