Reviews
For many years, populism and nationalism were consigned to the proverbial dustbin of history or taken as idiosyncratic exceptions to an irreversible pattern. The last few years have shown us the error of that judgement. This excellent volume provides not only an analytical framework for understanding these contemporary movements, but also contains a broad comparative and empirical study of how they manifest themselves. Many might wish the book had been published a few years earlier! Miguel A. Centeno, Musgrave Professor of Sociology, Princeton University With insightful analysis and impressive geographic breadth — combining case studies from Europe, Eastern Europe, North America and Latin America — López-Alves and Johnson’s book offers an original, compelling take on one of the most pressing geopolitical developments of our time. Cynthia Miller-Idriss, Professor of Education and Sociology, American University Despite widespread agreement on the ""elective affinities"" between populism and nationalism, very few works so far have addressed the nature of this relationship. This void is particularly striking considering the contemporary importance of populist nationalisms. This volume constitutes an ambitious attempt to fill this gap by advancing an innovating theoretical framework on the relationships between populism and nationalism and by including a rich collection of studies of populist nationalisms in Europe and the Americas. Iván Llamazares, Professor of Political Science, Universidad de Salamanca
