Citizens' activism and solidarity movements: contending with populism

Examining the diverse movements which have emerged in Europe in the face of a rise in national populism, this book focuses on counterforces to ethnic and religious divisions, as well as genders and sexualities, various expressions of anti-migration, Romanophobia, Islamophobia and homophobia.

The book's overall focus on local, national and transnational forms of resistance is premised on values of respect and tolerance of diversity in an increasingly multi-cultural Europe.
