Gender and Populism in Latin America: Passionate Politics

摘要

Karen Kampwirth's edited volume, Gender and Populism in Latin America, provides an excellent interdisciplinary introduction to the diverse ways in which populism is gendered. Given the vast scholarship on Latin American populism, it is surprising that this is the first collection on the topic of gender, making its appearance all the more welcome. Bringing together established experts on the topic of populism and insightful work by newcomers to the field, its chapters are representative of some of the superb results that this overdue scholarly attention brings to the study of Latin American politics and society. Our understanding of both populism and the construction of gender benefits tremendously from this cross-fertilisation.
