Connecting the pandemic-like spread of right-wing populism with aggrieved masculinity (i.e. a seething sense of rightful virility wrongly denied ), Ashcraft's Wronged and Dangerous makes a convincing argument for shifting studies of populism away from only considering issues of class. Love Reading
Toxic masculinity is pervasive in contemporary politics and Ashcraft offers the best analysis to date. Wronged and Dangerous is also a sensitive engagement in the troubled politics of belonging, resentment, and anger. Craig Calhoun, Arizona State University At once personal, searching, and accessible, and often funny, Ashcraft's gender analysis charts a humane path forward through the political storms of wounded masculinity. John Durham Peters, Yale University A unique, passionate reading of the entanglement of gender and New Populism, explaining how the infectious passion of aggrieved masculinity goes viral because it runs on a gender binary code. Silvia Gherardi, University of Trento Ashcraft's examination of the relationship of gender and class in our political moment is both urgent and brilliant. It is easily one of the best books on populism in recent years. Joseph Lowndes, University of Oregon Ashcraft's persuasive account of how unhappy masculinities form the bedrock of right-wing populism provides cause for concern: misogynistic dragons we thought had been slain are now rousing. Aimed at an intelligent, general readership, it is a manifesto and call to action; intellectually rigorous, compassionate, thought-provoking and an excellent read. Its ideas should become part of our everyday conversations. Nancy Harding, University of Bath
