"well-written ... this volume will be an important reference for
scholars of politics and religion hoping to understand the current
rise of the populist radical right." -- Kirk A. Hawkins, Reading
Religion"[T]his volume brings together an impressive group of
scholars with extensive expertise on the subject. Even those who
have closely followed the evolution of radical right-wing populism
in recent years will find a wealth of new material and insights in
this volume."--Hans-Georg Betz, The Journal of Church and
State"Explore[s] the ways in which rightwing populism links into
religion . . . The result is an overview of the far-right's growing
web, highlighting the differences but also, strikingly and more
worryingly, the similarities and interconnections between those
parties." --Financial Times"Vox Populi, Vox Dei? In the
increasingly saturated market of populism books, Saving the People
addresses one of the few important black spots: the relationship
between religion and populism. A must-read for anyone interested in
politics in contemporary western democracies." - Cas Mudde, School
of Public and International Affairs at University of Georgia and
Center for Research on Extremism at University of Oslo
"This book explores the relationship of right-wing populism with
religion. It shows how these parties have 'hijacked' religion,
using it not as a set of belief but as an identity marker, to
strengthen the border between 'us' and 'them'. And in eight of the
ten cases studied, Islam is the target. A major and challenging
contribution to the understanding of Western populism." - Nonna
Mayer, Research Director at CNRS, Centre d'�tudes europ�ennes de
Sciences Po
