Populist radical right (PRR) parties are questioning women’s
rights and sexual democracy. Yet paradoxically they appropriate
issues of gender+ equality to attack the migrants and to mobilize a
growing number of women as voters and members, based on a
‘racialization of sexism’ discourse. This book engages with
these puzzling developments, in order to investigate the evolving
ideologies of PRR parties and their understudied membership from a
gender perspective. Why do men and women join these parties? How do
they negotiate the gendered propaganda of their organizations? Do
these parties mobilize their members in gender-specific ways? How
is the PRR achieving growing political legitimacy through such
renewed gendered ideologies? And how does its mainstreaming
strategy articulate with gendered social change and the advent of
new generations of activists? Drawing on a two-year comparative and
intersectional study of the Lega (Nord) in Italy and the Front
national (now Rassemblement national) in France, and based on over
100 activists’ life histories, The Racialization of Sexism
tackles how gender, at the interplay with class, ethnicity, age and
religion shapes the parties’ strategies as well as their
activists’ experiences; and how gender relations are transformed
in unconventional ways within these parties. This book will be of
interest to those studying gender, as well as nationalism, racism,
social movements, radical politics and party politics.
