The Little Black Book of the Populist Right
Description What it is, why it’s on the march and how to stop it.
Book • 2024
David Edgar and John Bloomfield map the growth and characteristics of the populist right, exploring its ideology, tactics and cultural appeal in contemporary politics.
The book situates modern movements within a longer historical tradition of ethno-nationalist and conspiratorial thinking, and analyzes how media, money and political networks have amplified their reach.
It offers practical recommendations for civil society, political parties and activists to challenge and contain the populist right, including exposing funding sources and rebuilding progressive coalitions.
The updated edition reflects recent developments in UK and international politics, highlighting alliances between wealthy backers, media platforms, and populist leaders.
Framed as a handbook, it aims to inform citizens and campaigners seeking to defend liberal democracy against illiberal movements.
