Abstract

Four recent books—two edited volumes and two monographs—applying anthropological and ethnographic methods to contemporary right-wing populism and illiberalism, around the world but with a special interest in the United States, are reviewed. While the authors discover great diversity in conservative, populist, and ethnonationalist movements and agendas based on local circumstances (for instance, European Union membership) and national history and culture, all identify anger and identity (racial and/or ethnic) as central to the current global wave of populist mobilization. The review concludes with an analysis of cultural loss and the appeal of illiberal democracy as a winning strategy.

摘要

审查了最近出版的四本书——两本编辑卷和两本专着——将人类学和人种学方法应用于世界各地但对美国特别感兴趣的当代右翼民粹主义和反自由主义。虽然作者发现基于当地情况（例如欧盟成员身份）和国家历史和文化的保守、民粹主义和民族主义运动和议程存在很大差异，但所有人都认为愤怒和身份认同（种族和/或民族）是当前全球民粹主义动员浪潮。审查最后分析了文化损失和非自由民主作为制胜策略的吸引力。
