Is it a revolt by those who feel they have too little voice in the affairs of state or are otherwise marginalized or oppressed? Or are populist movements part of the democratic process?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tBringing together different anthropological experiences of current populist movements, this volume makes a timely contribution to these questions. Contrary to more conventional interpretations of populism as crisis, the authors instead recognize populism as integral to Western democratic systems. In doing so, the volume provides an important critique that exposes the exclusionary essentialisms spread by populist rhetoric while also directing attention to local views of political accountability and historical consciousness that are key to understanding this paradox of democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Populism and its Paradox\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eBruce Kapferer and Dimitrios Theodossopoulos\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1. \u003c\/strong\u003eFrom “The People” to “The Citizens”: The Possibilities and Limitations of Populist Discourse in Argentina\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eVictoria Goddard\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Brazilian Crisis and the Ghosts of Populism\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eJohn Gledhill\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3. \u003c\/strong\u003eLurching between Consensus and Chaos: Shades of Populism in Australian Indigenous Policy\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eMelinda Hinkson and Jon Altman\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4. \u003c\/strong\u003ePopulism’s Claims: The Struggle between Privilege and Equality\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eSusana Narotzky\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5. \u003c\/strong\u003eHow Populism Works\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eMichael Herzfeld\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50515977109847,"sku":"9781789201550","price":11.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781789201550.jpg?v=1745428391","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/democracys-paradox-populism-and-its-contemporary-crisis-9781789201550","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
