It explains the spread of racist sensibilities in depressed rural areas, shows how activists, intellectuals and politicians took advantage of popular racism to empower right-wing agendas and examines the new ruling party's success in stabilizing an 'illiberal regime'. To illuminate these important dynamics, the author proposes an innovative multi-scalar and relational framework, focusing on interaction between social antagonisms emerging on the local level and struggles waged within the political public sphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“The book’s main message is a crucial one for making sense of contemporary far-right or populist movements…[It] is useful for students of Central and Eastern Europe, and, given the rise of right-wing populism around the world, it also has applications beyond this part of the globe.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Anthropologica\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“The book provides numerous insights into the micro-foundations of the anti-egalitarian and increasingly authoritarian turn in Hungary, where political representatives have consolidated their power on the EU’s periphery at the expense of the most vulnerable segments of society.
