The rise of authoritarian, nationalist forms of populism and the
implications for rural actors and settings is one of the most
crucial foci for critical agrarian studies today, with many
consequences for political action. Authoritarian Populism and the
Rural World reflects on the rural origins and consequences of the
emergence of authoritarian and populist leaders across the world,
as well as on the rise of multi-class mobilisation and resistance,
alongside wider counter-movements and alternative practices, which
together confront authoritarianism and nationalist populism. The
book includes 20 chapters written by contributors to the
Emancipatory Rural Politics Initiative (ERPI), a global network of
academics and activists committed to both reflective analysis and
political engagement. Debates about ‘populism’,
‘nationalism’, ‘authoritarianism’ and more have exploded
recently, but relatively little of this has focused on the rural
dimensions. Yet, wherever one looks, the rural aspects are key –
not just in electoral calculus, but in understanding underlying
drivers of authoritarianism and populism, and potential
counter-movements to these. Whether because of land grabs,
voracious extractivism, infrastructural neglect or lack of
services, rural peoples’ disillusionment with the status quo has
had deeply troubling consequences and occasionally hopeful ones, as
the chapters in this book show. The chapters in this book were
originally published in The Journal of Peasant Studies.
