Fascism, Populism and American Democracy Paperback / softback
by Leonard (University of Nevada, USA) Weinberg
Part of the Routledge Studies in Extremism and Democracy series
Paperback / softback
Description
Hard right-wing politics is growing in popularity in America, marked by Donald Trump's success in the 2016 election, and it is worth questioning what this means for the American democratic system.
This book seeks to explain the vulnerability of democracies to the appeal of right-wing politics through a contemporary case study of the US, and how democracies are possibly under threat from a conflict between popular attitudes and institutional paralysis.
Various forms of American right-wing extremism are examined here, such as the alt-right, the radical right and the Religious right, but their perceived relevance to Trump's victory is questioned.
Even still, this book asks the question: can the far-right prevail under the American way?
