Book Synopsis
Proposes a new perspective on the contemporary rise of mainstreamed populism by exploring features of populist-style politics through the lens of distrust

Trade Review
"Going beyond well-worn and simple theatrical metaphors to describe political action, Julia Peetz's new book offers a sophisticated and genuinely interdisciplinary - blend of performance and political analysis. Readers will find compelling new approaches to, and arguments about, crucial factors in political life, from legitimacy and representation to distrust, authenticity and populism. The book's in-depth engagement with the past and present of US presidential performance is both illuminating and insightful." -Michael Saward, University of Warwick
