Does populism indicate a radical crisis in Western democratic
political systems? Is it a revolt by those who feel they have too
little voice in the affairs of state or are otherwise marginalized
or oppressed? Or are populist movements part of the democratic
process? Bringing together different anthropological experiences of
current populist movements, this volume makes a timely contribution
to these questions. Contrary to more conventional interpretations
of populism as crisis, the authors instead recognize populism as
integral to Western democratic systems. In doing so, the volume
provides an important critique that exposes the exclusionary
essentialisms spread by populist rhetoric while also directing
attention to local views of political accountability and historical
consciousness that are key to understanding this paradox of
democracy.
