The appeal of nativist politics and what comes next
Review by Tamara Kolarić
In After Nativism (Polity, 2023), Ash Amin posits that in today’s globalized world, many people in democracies are turning to nativist politics for reassurances against the uncertainties we are facing. To disarm this extreme nationalism, progressive forces need to reclaim these imagined communities. Tamara Kolarić writes that After Nativism is a passionate, richly argued, and inspiring book.
