{"product_id":"democracys-paradox-bruce-kapferer-9781789201550","title":"Democracy's Paradox: Populism and Its Contemporary Crisis","description":"\u003cp\u003e Does populism indicate a radical crisis in Western democratic political systems? Is it a revolt by those who feel they have too little voice in the affairs of state or are otherwise marginalized or oppressed? Or are populist movements part of the democratic process?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Bringing together different anthropological experiences of current populist movements, this volume makes a timely contribution to these questions. Contrary to more conventional interpretations of populism as crisis, the authors instead recognize populism as integral to Western democratic systems. In doing so, the volume provides an important critique that exposes the exclusionary essentialisms spread by populist rhetoric while also directing attention to local views of political accountability and historical consciousness that are key to understanding this paradox of democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Kapferer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789201551\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789201550\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 4.25w x 0.31d","brand":"Bruce Kapferer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984333078783,"sku":"9781789201550","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e9cf7755-44c6-41ed-ba36-91a328456d30.jpg?v=1683271781","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/democracys-paradox-bruce-kapferer-9781789201550","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
