Increasingly, many people in the democracies are turning to a
strongarm politics for reassurance against globalisation,
uncertainty and precarity. In countries ranging from the US
and Britain to Brazil, India and Turkey, support grows for a
nativist politics attacking migrants, minorities, liberals and
elites as enemies of the nation. Is there a politics of belonging
that progressive forces could mobilise to counteract these trends?
After Nativism takes up this question, arguing that disarming
nativism will require more than improving the security and
wellbeing of the ‘left-behind’. The lines drawn by nativism are
of an affective nature about imagined community, with meanings of
belonging and voice lying at the heart of popular perceptions of
just dues. This, argues Ash Amin, is the territory that progressive
forces – liberal, social democratic, socialist – need to
reclaim in order to shift public sentiment away from xenophobic
intolerance towards one of commonality amid difference as a basis
for facing existential risk and uncertainty. The book proposes a
relational politics of belonging premised on the encounter,
fugitive solidarities, public interest politics, collaboration over
common existential threats, and daily collectives and
infrastructures of wellbeing. There is ground for progressives to
mount a counter-aesthetics of belonging that will convince the
discontents of neoliberal globalisation that there is a better
alternative to nativism.
