Right-Wing Populism and Gender - European Perspectives and Beyond

Right-wing populism has recently gained significant attention in academic research, but a comprehensive study of its intersection with gender is still lacking. Despite the prevalence of gender issues in radical right discourses, ranging from "ethnosexism" against immigrants to "anti-genderism," a systematic exploration of this intersection is yet to be undertaken. This volume aims to address this gap by presenting a collection of contributions from various European perspectives. The chapters explore how gender is employed as a meta-language, strategic tool, and "affective bridge" to organize and prioritize political goals within the diverse actors of the "right-wing complex." By examining the ways in which gender is utilized to shape and influence right-wing discourse, this volume contributes to our understanding of the complex and multifaceted nature of right-wing populism.
