The ideologies and practices of various populist movements are
centered on issues of gender, especially idealized notions of
masculinity. Offering cultural, political, and historical
approaches from a range of interdisciplinary and international
perspectives, The Culture and Politics of Populist Masculinities
analyzes articulations and performances that link populism to
masculinity. In particular, the collection studies political
participation in the form of public debates, media, and popular
culture. The authors emphasize that in order to understand what can
be defined as populism, we need to look at the culture that it
inhabits and the efforts to claim, challenge, and reclaim the
popular. Writing from a wide range of international contexts, the
contributors to The Culture and Politics of Populist Masculinities
explore how populist masculinities are articulated and performed,
whether there is something problematic about a specifically
masculine populism, and whether there is hope for a pluralist,
inclusive, even progressive form of masculine populism. Culture and
Politics of Populist Masculinities' international range of
contributors explore how populist masculinities are articulated and
performed, whether there is something problematic about a
specifically masculine populism, and whether there is hope for a
pluralist, inclusive, even progressive form of masculine populism.

Zombies, vampires, and mummies are frequent stars of American
horror films. But what does their cinematic omnipresence and
audiences' hunger for such films tell us about American views of
death? Here, Outi Hakola investigates the ways in which American
living-dead films have addressed death through different narrative
and rhetorical solutions during the twentieth century. She focuses
on films from the 1930s, including "Dracula," "The Mummy," and
"White Zombie," films of the 1950s and 1960s such as "Night of the
Living Dead "and "The Return of Dracula," and more recent fare like
"Bram Stoker's Dracula," "The Mummy," and "Resident Evil."
Ultimately, the book succeeds in framing the tradition of living
dead films, discussing the cinematic processes of addressing the
films' viewers, and analyzing the films' socio-cultural negotiation
with death in this specific genre.
