Populism is a much-discussed topic, and scholars have legitimately asked if this one word could indeed accommodate all the historical and institutional differences we seek to bring under its cover. The editors and contributors to this book build on these debates to answer a question that, to my knowledge, has not been asked before. Truly a very important contribution to histories of the present.'

An international group of scholars interrogates how and why populists engage with the past. Twelve case studies focus on uses of history and memory by populist movements across the globe – ranging from Brazil to Bangladesh, from Poland to Tanzania. Five thematic chapters zoom in on key features of populism: its relation to time, nationalism, emotions, academic expertise, and the language of 'moral remembrance'. The focus is both on left- and right-wing populism, as well as on oppositional populism and populists in power. This way, the volume presents an empirically rigorous and conceptually innovative analysis of populist historical reason.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Notes on contributors\u003cbr\u003e Preface: is there a distinctly populist perspective on history?
