Challenging the notion that populism is an anomaly in European politics, this book argues that its nationalist rhetoric is embedded within European democratic traditions. By exposing the injustices inherent in the European nation-state, the book makes a bold case: true politics of solidarity cannot coexist with this flawed political legacy.
