Yet paradoxically they appropriate issues of gender+ equality to attack migrants and to mobilize a growing number of women as voters and members, based on a âracialization of sexismâ 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? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on a two-year comparative and intersectional study of the \u003ci\u003eLega (Nord) \u003c\/i\u003ein Italy and the \u003ci\u003eFront national \u003c\/i\u003e(now \u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This fascinating book, based on intersectional and life course approaches, subtly shows how men and women in the \u003ci\u003eLega\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eRassemblement national\u003c\/i\u003e experience and make sense of these parties' mobilisation of progressive models of femininity and masculinity to support their anti-immigration and anti-Muslim crusade.

Based on the findings of extensive empirical research, she eloquently demonstrates the discursive shift from nationalism to populism in relation to the changes in the use of gendered vocabulary by the right-wing populist parties. This is a timely intervention that successfully benefits from the literature on nationalism to explain the use of civilizational, religious and gendered identities by the populist radical right parties to mobilize their supporters.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAyhan Kaya,\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eIstanbul Bilgi University, Turkey\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Here’s a book that finally genders the analysis of populist radical right parties in a systematic way! Through an original and captivating theoretical framework and an incredibly rich empirical analysis of populist radical right parties in Italy and France, this book shows that these parties’ gender projects are diverse and changing as they intersect with ethnicity, class, and religious dimensions in each national context. Scrinzi effectively and convincingly shows how radical right parties exploit the discursive opportunities of each national context, that are rooted in gender, ethnicity, class, and religious legacies, to mobilize different women and men. By accurately narrating the experiences of far-right women and men inscribed within multiple intersecting social relations, the book provides readers with a thorough understanding of the diverse gendered material and cultural motivations for supporting the far right. In sum, \u003ci\u003eThe Racialization of Sexism\u003c\/i\u003e is a compelling and highly recommended book for all readers interested in politics, gender, and democracy.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmanuela Lombardo\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003ci\u003eUniversidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Based on life stories of female and male members of the \u003ci\u003eLega \u003c\/i\u003eand the \u003ci\u003eRassemblement national\u003c\/i\u003e, this book shows how ‘men’s’ parties can mobilize women as well, reframing gender issues to appear as defending women’s rights against the threat of Islam and migrants.
