Publisher's Synopsis
The target reader is someone who enjoyed The Populist Explosion and wants further answers to how nativism and xenophobia has been allowed to revive. While nativism and xenophobia are dangerous, they are the more extreme response to attacks on international institutions and globalization, as well as legitimate discontent over the breakdown of the welfare state. Casual readers of the New York Times can see nationalism rise in individual countries, but this book will connect the dots and provide the big picture on how to think about and link movements around the world and over the past decades.
