The New Populism

Praise

“In his book, Marco Revelli aptly defines today’s right-wing populism as a ‘senile disorder’ of liberal democracy, a ‘revolt of the included’ who have been pushed to the margins.”
—Enzo Traverso

“For whoever wants to find their bearings and guard against the seductive power of empty words, I recommend Marco Revelli’s book.”
—Gustavo Zagrebelsky

“If we want to place Trump’s victory in its proper context, I think a good book to read is Marco Revelli’s book.”
—Rossana Rossanda

“Marco Revelli weaves political theory with sociological analysis to provide the first definitive analysis of post-2008 populism. The New Populism demonstrates that, with the right critical and empirical mindset, it is possible to understand these movements, without either deploring or embracing them.”
—William Davies, author of Nervous States: How Feeling Took Over the World

“Marco Revelli accurately sees a new populism arising out of the ashes of Social Democracy in Europe and liberalism in the United States. His book is a tour of the rising populist parties and movements and a tour de force in his trenchant analysis of how they came about and where they may be headed.”
—John B. Judis, author of The Populist Explosion and The Nationalist Revival

“A very timely and lucid introduction from one of Italy’s most distinguished social scientists.”
—Paul Ginsborg

“Enlightening.”
—Rob Doyle, Times Literary Supplement
