From Donald Trump in the U.S. to Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, Viktor
Orbán in Hungary, and Narendra Modi in India, right-wing populist
leaders have taken power in many parts of the world. While each
country’s populist movement is distinct, they are united by
several key features, including the presence of a boastful
strongman leader and the scapegoating of vulnerable populations,
especially immigrants, people of color, LGBTQ people, and women.
The Perils of Populism shows how a feminist lens can help
diagnose the factors behind the global rise of right-wing populism
and teach us how to resist the threat it presents to democracy.
Featuring interdisciplinary essays about politics in the United
States, the Middle East, Europe, and India from a variety of
acclaimed theorists and activists, the volume contributes to a
rapidly expanding literature on gender and the far right. Together,
these chapters offer a truly intersectional analysis of the
problem, addressing everything from how populism has thrived in a
“post-truth” era to the ways it appeals to working-class voters
looking for an alternative to neoliberalism. Yet the authors also
find reasons to be hopeful, as they showcase forms of grassroots
feminist activism that challenge right-wing populism by advocating
for racial and economic justice.
