The United States has intermittently experienced left- and
right-wing populist movements that challenge established forms of
corrupt political authority and promise to return America to the
ideals of its founders and people. For those who might have hoped
that the new century would bring an end to ideology or even to
familiar ideological conflicts of the Left and the Right, the Tea
Party movement and other forms of right-wing populism, in the U.S.
and abroad, offer little hope of such a resolution. Most eruptions
of populist anger are directed against elites and elite values;
however, the most recent manifestations of populism are also
characterized by the omnipresence of corporate media and the
important role that popular media personalities play in actively
promoting right-wing populism. Together, these insightful scholarly
articles provide new understandings of contemporary right-wing
populism, including the ways in which the media either have
actively promoted such populism or, more passively, failed to
challenge its ideas and political consequences. This collection
will be useful for students of American politics as well as
students of contemporary right-wing politics. This book was
published as a special issue of New Political Science: A Journal of
Politics and Culture.
