Back Cover

"This volume is a timely and important contribution to the manifold controversial debates about 'populisms'. The book covers populist parties in Europe, the European Union, and beyond, in the US, Australia and South America. The systematic and detailed, excellent analyses deconstruct far-right and left-wing populist utterances in many genres and contexts and thus allow for a profound understanding of these complex and intricate phenomena."-- Ruth Wodak , Lancaster University, UK, University of Vienna, Austria "This is an extremely rich and much-needed addition to populism research. It provides a diverse collection of discursive approaches to populism and illuminates many cutting-edge issues like the relationship between populism and nationalism, the rubric of post-truth and the role of gender in populism. Starting from the premise that language and meaning are essential to understanding politics, Kranert has collected an astonishing ensemble of cross-disciplinary and international papers that will greatly enhance the reflexive and rigorous analysis of populist phenomena." -- Yannis Stavrakakis , Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece This edited book presents a cross-disciplinary and international conversation about the discursive nature of 'populist' politics.
