Moghadam\u003c\/b\u003e (Contribution by)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Donald Trump in the U.S. to Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, Viktor Orbán in Hungary, and Narendra Modi in India, right-wing populist leaders have taken power in many parts of the world. While each country's populist movement is distinct, they are united by several key features, including the presence of a boastful strongman leader and the scapegoating of vulnerable populations, especially immigrants, people of color, LGBTQ people, and women. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Perils of Populism \u003c\/i\u003eshows how a feminist lens can help diagnose the factors behind the global rise of right-wing populism and teach us how to resist the threat it presents to democracy. Featuring interdisciplinary essays about politics in the United States, the Middle East, Europe, and India from a variety of acclaimed theorists and activists, the volume contributes to a rapidly expanding literature on gender and the far right. Together, these chapters offer a truly intersectional analysis of the problem, addressing everything from how populism has thrived in a \"post-truth\" era to the ways it appeals to working-class voters looking for an alternative to neoliberalism. Yet the authors also find reasons to be hopeful, as they showcase forms of grassroots feminist activism that challenge right-wing populism by advocating for racial and economic justice.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSARAH TOBIAS is associate director of the Institute for Research on Women at Rutgers University and affiliate faculty in the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies department.
