In a time where work on populism has become increasingly Euro- and US-centric, this excellent volume very welcomely restores Latin America to its rightful place at the centre of the analysis of populism. With a wide range of case studies, this book refuses to settle for easy answers when it comes to populism's relationship to democracy, and as such, offers an important and nuanced counterpoint to much commentary on the phenomenon today. -- Benjamin Moffitt, Australian Catholic University An ambitious effort to identify and analyze the disparate strands of populism in Latin America, utilizing country case studies, drawing on classical and contemporary forms, distinguishing right and left tendencies, and delving into theoretical and practical experience in the region. An anthology of great interest for both students and academics. -- Ronald H. Chilcote, Professor Emeritus of Economics and Political Science, University of California, Riverside, and Managing Editor of Latin American Perspectives A timely reminder of the centrality of Latin America to theorizing populism. By foregrounding the variegated Latin American experiences, the essays challenge overly static, Eurocentric frameworks. Individually, the essays offer fascinating case studies of "actually existing" populism, while together they propose a deep and thoughtful lens to study complex political processes. An outstanding collection of essays that provides an insightful and challenging analysis of populism. -- Mo Hume, Professor of Latin American Politics, University of Glasgow
