Populism: At Home and Abroad
APRIL 2022
Nowadays, everybody is talking about populism. It has become the magic word to understand the times we live in. In Populism: At Home and Abroad, José Pedro Zúquete writes about the meaning and characteristics of populism in Europe and the world, but also, for the first time on the national publishing market, about its history in Portugal, from its origins to the present day, from literature to politics, showing how, contrary to what is often said, populism is far from being a novelty in Portuguese Contemporary History. Refusing the clichés, the platitudes and the theory of Portuguese «exceptionality» – Zúquete shows that in Portugal, despite the frenzy of the present, populism has never been an exception: it has manifested itself in the distant and recent past in various ways and is in a position to thrive in the future.
