The last few years have witnessed a remarkable resurgence of populist
nationalism as indicated by Brexit, the Trump presidency and the rise of
radical parties of the far right. Nationalist Responses to the Crises in Europe
examines the drivers, methods and local appeal of populist nationalism.
Based on multi-sited fieldwork in England, Hungary and Norway, Cathrine
Thorleifsson explores the various material conditions, historical events and
social contexts that shape distinct forms of xenophobia and intolerance
toward migrants and minorities. Combining analysis of the discourses
propagated by populist radical right parties like the UK Independence
Party, Fidesz, Jobbik and the Norwegian Progress Party with an analysis of
the fears and concerns of supporters, Thorleifsson develops wider
conclusions about the drivers and character of populist nationalism and
the way in which these differ across national contexts. An empirically
grounded study of how the demand and supply sides of populist
nationalism are reconfigured in response to the globalized crises of
economy, culture and displacement, this book will appeal to scholars of
anthropology, sociology and politics with interests in nationalism,
populism, the radical right and contemporary xenophobia.
