“This is without doubt the most interesting, thought-provoking
and inspiring book I have read on populism. Nyamnjoh not only shines new
light on familiar issues, but also fundamentally changes the way we
look at a debate that was at risk of becoming tired and repetitive. He
persuasively argues that we cannot hope to fully get to grips with
contemporary populism unless we first understand the nature of
citizenship, and the fact that projects of citizenship – like our own
human projects – are inherently incomplete. This turns out not only to
be key to fully appreciating one of the most important political
phenomena of our time, but also to resisting it. A must read.”
