*_About the book_*

The book focuses on the role of popular music in the rise of populism in 
Europe, centring on the music-related processes of sociocultural 
normalisation and the increasing prevalence of populist discourses in 
contemporary society. Based on shared research questions, an original 
theoretical framework and a combination of innovative methodologies that 
pay attention to the specific socio-historical contexts, taking into 
account musical material as well as processes of reception, the five 
chapters in this volume offer detailed analyses of the nexus of popular 
music and populism in Hungary, Italy, Austria, Sweden and Germany. All 
of these countries have seen a marked increase in populist parties and 
discourses over the last years, as well as significant interactions 
between populism and popular music.
