Her brilliant analysis of its core emotions, fear, disgust, resentment and love, revitalizes scholarship on the political sociology of authoritarianism, while also offering a robust critique of Israel's lethal politics and a new, much-needed vision of democratic emotionality.

And, throughout the world, the same enigma: why is it that political figures or governments, who have no qualms about aggravating social inequalities, enjoy the support of those whom their ideas and policies affect and hurt the most?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo make sense of this enigma, the sociologist Eva Illouz argues that we must understand the crucial role that emotions play in our political life. Taking the case of Israel as her prime example, she shows that populist politics rest on four key emotions: fear, disgust, resentment, and love for one's country. It is the combination of these four emotions and their relentless presence in the political arena that nourishes and underpins the rise and persistence of populism both in Israel and in many other countries around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis highly original perspective on the rise of populism will be of interest to anyone who wishes to understand the key political developments of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction: The Worm Inside the Apple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1: Securitist Democracy and Fear\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2: Disgust Entrepreneurs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3: Resentment or the Hidden Eros of Nationalist Populism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4: National Pride and the New Politics of Class\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion: The Emotions of the Decent Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Sociology%20\u0026amp;%20anthropology%20%5BJH%5D%22\"\u003eJH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52460670550296,"sku":"9781509558193","price":14.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509558193.jpg?v=1785457691","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-emotional-life-of-populism-how-fear-disgust-resentment-and-love-undermine-democracy-paperback-softback-9781509558193","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
