Fra forlagets omtale: Populism is on the rise around the world. Since 2016, with the US presidential election and the Brexit debate in the UK, populism has taken a central place in global discussions on democracy. This book aims to correct the oversight that, although religion has played a key role in populism in many countries, it has been curiously neglected in recent academic debates. This wide-ranging volume redefines the concept of populism as a political style that sets a 'sacred people' apart from its enemies, providing a timely yet grounded account that will stimulate further research and public debate.
