Why is it important?
In times of crisis, people reach out for radical solutions. Unfortunately, many of the parties or movements that exploit this situation leanr how to gain currency by turning people's frustration into rage against "outsiders". In this book, we look at how politicians and groups of all kinds attempt to define the people whom they represent.
