Viac o knihe

Exploring the connections between populism and fundamentalism, the book highlights their shared response to modern complexities and crises by advocating a return to an idealized past. Both movements psychologically frame society into a virtuous 'Us' versus a malevolent 'Them,' fostering ongoing conflict. Through social identity theory and contemporary case studies, the author illustrates these dynamics, prompting thoughtful discussion on the implications while ultimately offering a message of hope.
