Left Populism in Europe

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'Rigorously reflecting on the choreography of contemporary left-wing experiments flirting with left populism in crisis-ridden Europe, Prentoulis offers a challenging first assessment of its political advances, limitations and potential for left strategy' -- Yannis Stavrakakis, Professor at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece 'An outstanding contribution to understand the shortcomings and yet potentials of the left populist experience ... explains what left populism modestly achieved but also points very convincingly to what it has to do in the future to promote the values of equality, social justice and internationalism' -- Oscar Garcia Agustin, Associate Professor at Aalborg University, Denmark 'An important, timely appraisal of the European left, one that will inform and inspire activists' -- Manuel Cortes, General Secretary of the Transport Salaried Staffs' Association (TSSA) 'It's been a dramatic decade for left-wing political projects in Greece, Spain, and the UK. Through personal experience, a wealth of interviews and analysis, Prentoulis pulls together an assessment which is vital for anyone who wants to understand the post-crash upsurge of radical politics in Europe' -- Nick Dearden, Director of Global Justice Now
