Studies of the right and radical right have proliferated since the rise of European nationalist and populist parties in the 1980s. Yet, the literature on the right and the radical right has a largely Euro-American bias and has been limited by partisan academics that focus on the left. The Right and Radical Right in the Americas hopes to be a pioneering work that examines the history and contemporary manifestations of the right and radical right throughout the Americas. From interwar Canada to contemporary Chile, the right and radical right have come in diverse ideological currents. Those ideological currents have undergone historical changes and the strategies of the right and radical right need to be contextualized in respect of country and region. The right and radical right also have distinctive meanings throughout the Americas and in different epochs.

Industry Reviews

Latin America has for decades resembled a vast terra incognita in Anglophone surveys of the radical and fascist right in the Europeanized world, most of which have remained overwhelmingly Euro- and US-centric. The Right and Radical Right in the Americas, written by an impressive team of experts on national politics, offers students of comparative politics a welcome basis for more accurate generalizations about 'the rise of the right'. In doing so it offers a valuable conceptual framework for the distinguishing between conservative, populist and extremist manifestations of resistance to secularization, multiculturalism and the globalized consumer society.

-- Roger Griffin, author of Fascism: An Introduction to Comparative Fascist Studies
