Reviews
“This is an impressive and important volume, addressing some of the most urgent contemporary political issues such as resisting the rise of contemporary populist and right-wing movements in different parts of Europe. The book explores these issues through a nuanced, intersectional, comparative theoretical and methodological framework, combining sensitivity to different histories, spaces and differential power relations with the common impact of neo-liberal globalisation. The editors and the contributors are some of the best feminist and activist scholars in the field.” (Professor Nira Yuval-Davis, University of East London, UK)
