"Excellent and compact.... A person of the left, Judis specializes in speaking truth to liberals, something he also did in his earlierThe Populist Explosion. He thinks it's important for progressives to understand why so many are drawn to Trump and the far right in Europe."-E.J. Dionne,The Washington Post<br><br>"John B. Judis is the rare left-of-center journalist who takes our populist-nationalist moment seriously. Rather than dismiss the leaders and constituencies of the American and European movements as mere xenophobes, he offers an empathetic balls-and-strikes analysis of the socioeconomic factors that made-and continue to make-such campaigns viable."-The American Conservative<br><br>"Concise and indispensable."-Vanity Fair<br><br>"John B. Judis does not see a death-match between imperial liberalism on the one hand and nationalism on the other. His book argues that elites have overreached, both in the U.S. and in Europe, in advocating large-scale immigration and trade deals and foreign interventions. As a result, Mr. Judis-a formerNew Republiceditor who has long supported progressive and pro-labor economic policies-calls for a synthesis between liberalism and nationalism."-The Wall Street Journal<br><br>"John B. Judis'new book offers a timely reminder that there is such a thing as a nationalist left, and the author himself is a part of it."-The National Interest<br><br>"Judis's contrast between'globalism'and'internationalism'is a valuable distinction for the left, and rejecting the former is necessary for the survival of the latter. Progressives will have to offer an'alternative globalism'that can address the extreme inequities of the current system while defending its very real achievements. Nationalism will be the reactionary route of the 21st century, and in the United Kingdom we are already seeing just how chaotic and disastrous this path can be."-Conor Lynch,The Week<br><br>"The longtime political journalist limns the rise of Trumpian nationalism in the face of a bewilderingly global world."-Kirkus ReviewsThe writer who explained populism and the rise of Trump in his acclaimed 2016 book, The Populist Explosion, travels the United States, Europe and Japan to look at nationalism from its origins in the 1800s to today. He examines why nationalism suddenly returned, from the Trump administration to rightwing populist parties and leftwing partiesin the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, and more.Why has nationalism come roaring back?<br><br>Trump in America, Johnson in the U.K., anti-EU parties in Italy, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, and Hungary, and nativist or authoritarian leaders in Turkey, Russia, India, and China-Why has nationalism suddenly returned with a vengeance? Is the world headed back to the fractious conflicts between nations that led to world wars and depression in the early 20th Century?<br><br>Based on travels in America, Europe, and Asia, veteran political analyst John B. Judis found that almost all people share nationalist sentiments that can be the basis of vibrant democracies as well as repressive dictatorships. Today's outbreak of toxic"us vs. them"nationalism is an extreme reaction to utopian cosmopolitanism, which advocates open borders, free trade, rampant outsourcing, and has branded nationalist sentiments as bigotry. Can a new international order be created that doesn't dismiss what is constructive about nationalism? As he does for populism inThe Populist Explosionand for socialism inThe Socialist Awakening, Judis looks at nationalism from its modern origins in the 1800s to today to find answers.<br><br>"Essential reading."-E.J.
