The everyday realities of financial and work insecurity that drive right- and left-wing populism

In Insecurity Politics, Lorenza Antonucci examines the lived, everyday experiences that underpin political disaffection. Countering the reductive portrayals of populist voters as left-behind outsiders, Antonucci focuses on the ordinary, yet increasingly precarious, realities of work and financial instability as key to understanding the surge in populist support in both right- and left-wing politics. Drawing on robust comparative quantitative and qualitative analyses across nine European countries, Insecurity Politics describes the microlevel material and cultural dynamics that drive anti-establishment politics. It finds that dissatisfaction with work and a growing sense of financial insecurity fuel populist sentiments.

Antonucci maps the evolving landscape of insecurity in contemporary Europe, tracing its roots to structural transformations of welfare states and deep-seated cultural shifts. Proposing an original framework that combines cultural and economic explanations, the book shows how economic, social, and political factors shape receptivity to anti-establishment politics. Moving beyond conventional wisdom that attributes today's populism to cultural backlash or globalization, Antonucci addresses a critical blind spot in current research. But Insecurity Politics offers more than a mere diagnosis; it also argues that a nuanced understanding of populist attitudes could inform a renewed political agenda--one more attuned to the complex realities of people's lives.

A novel that captures the collective pain of a nation through the stories of four Lebanese women.

Only songs are able to comfort the soul in its darkness--but can anyone hear them?

Iman Humaydan's saga recalls the voices of four generations of women from one family in the imaginary village of Kasura, in Mount Lebanon. Its narrator, Asmahan, named after the beloved Syrian singer, has devoted her adult life to recovering the stories of her ancestors, who persisted in the shadows of male supremacy, war, military occupation, and impoverishment.

Her mother, Layla, disappeared when Asmahan was still a teenager. Her grandmother, Yasmine, died giving birth. And her great-grandmother, Shahira, struggled through two world wars, famine, and suffocating gender norms to win an education for her children and eke out a better life for her family. Asmahan is determined to protect her daughter and break out of the cycle of intergenerational violence and wounds that the women who came before her suffered. She packs up her daughter to emigrate after a divorce, when her husband takes their son away from her on his seventh birthday, during the darkest days of the 1982 Israeli invasion.

These women's legacies span and echo the scarred history of an abused homeland, from the eve of the first World War to the 1982 Lebanon War. In honoring their unfulfilled lives, Iman Humaydan insistently preserves intimate stories of abundant tenacity, generosity, sacrifice--and songs, provisions sorely needed for dark times.

En un pueblo costero pequeño, un viejo pescador hace ya mucho tiempo que intenta, en vano, pescar un gran pez. Un día se hace a la mar, y tras mucho esfuerzo, consigue que este pique su cebo. "Todo en él era viejo, salvo sus ojos; y éstos tenían el color mismo del mar..." Ernest Hemingway El viejo y el mar es uno de los textos más notables de Hemingway. Escrito con un lenguaje de gran fuerza y sencillez, narra la historia de un viejo pescador cubano a quien la suerte parece haber abandonado, y el desafío mayor al que se enfrenta: la batalla despiadada y sin tregua con un pez gigantesco en las aguas del golfo. Aquí Hemingway retoma, en un estilo remarcable, el clásico tema del valor ante a la derrota, del triunfo personal sacado de la pérdida.
