This book explores how anger and resentment towards minorities are being utilized in politics, arguing that prejudice against minorities is not the root cause of increasing support for the radical right. It examines the process by which the acquisition of political power and demand for rights by ascendant minority groups precipitates a backlash of mobilization from the radical right.

Focusing on the growing support for the populist right in Eastern Europe, this book delves into the intricate dynamics of how anger and resentment towards minorities are being harnessed in political discourse. Author Elena Bustikova offers a comprehensive analysis of the process by which the acquisition of political power and the demand for rights by ascendant minority groups trigger a backlash of mobilization from the radical right. However, this book goes beyond merely attributing prejudice against minorities to right-wing voters and suggests that it is not the sole factor contributing to the increasing support for the radical right. Instead, it explores the diverse ways in which minorities are accommodated by the government and sheds light on the factors that determine the electoral successes and failures of radical right parties.

By examining the capitalizing on these feelings of discontent towards politically assertive minorities and the governmental policies that yield to their demands, Bustikova exposes the volatile and zeitgeist-dependent conditions under which once fringe right-wing parties have risen to prominent but precarious positions of power. Through her insightful analysis, the book provides valuable insights into the complex interplay between identity politics, social unrest, and political power dynamics in Eastern Europe, offering a timely and thought-provoking examination of a region that continues to shape global politics.
