This book sheds light on modern populism and discusses the link
between populism and identity politics against the backdrop of
populist leaders asserting the identity of their own group, while
maintaining the separation from others. Written by former BBC
correspondent and commentator Deepak Tripathi, the book explains
how populism has a long history with early discernable origins in
the Tsarist Russian Empire and North America in the nineteenth
century, spreading to Latin America, Europe, and elsewhere in the
following century. The book analyzes various forms of populism, its
causes and consequences. It further looks at how industrialization,
economic growth, and movement of people led to conditions which
contributed to inequalities, fueling populist sentiments and social
conflict around the globe. Tripathi concludes that populism has
moved from the fringes to the mainstream of politics, and is here
to stay, given factors such as growing competition for resources,
population increase, climate change, and migration. The book will
appeal to students, scholars, and researchers of political science
and neighboring disciplines, as well as policy-makers interested in
a better understanding of modern populism and its roots. Written in
a graceful, informative style, this book explores the rise of
populism on the global scene and exposes its dangers. Mark
Juergensmeyer, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Sociology and
Global Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara, and author
of Global Rebellion: Religious Challenges to the Secular State
