The ideologies and practices of various populist movements are centered on issues of gender, especially idealized notions of masculinity. Offering cultural, political, and historical approaches from a range of interdisciplinary and international perspectives, The Culture and Politics of Populist Masculinities analyzes articulations and performances that link populism to masculinity. In particular, the collection studies political participation in the form of public debates, media, and popular culture. The authors emphasize that in order to understand what can be defined as populism, we need to look at the culture that it inhabits and the efforts to claim, challenge, and reclaim the popular. Writing from a wide range of international contexts, the contributors to The Culture and Politics of Populist Masculinities explore how populist masculinities are articulated and performed, whether there is something problematic about a specifically masculine populism, and whether there is hope for a pluralist, inclusive, even progressive form of masculine populism.
Culture and Politics of Populist Masculinities’ international range of contributors explore how populist masculinities are articulated and performed, whether there is something problematic about a specifically masculine populism, and whether there is hope for a pluralist, inclusive, even progressive form of masculine populism.

The Culture and Politics of Populist Masculinities represents an invaluable addition to the current discourse around presentations of masculinity in art and society. By linking broader sociological impacts with clear fictional representations, Populist Masculinities highlights how some of the more troubling aspects of masculinity remain deeply embedded in our socio-political culture. The two-headed specter of populism and hyper-masculinity is both captured and dissected through effective and wide-ranging discourse. Populist Masculinities is a must-have for anyone who wants to broaden their understanding of the nature and scale of the issue.
