TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Populism and protest JO - Front. Sociol. A1 - Hirschmann, Nancy J. SP - e619235 EP - e619235 VL - 5 IS - N2 - The essay considers populism in the present moment in relation to Black Lives Matter as a popular protest movement. Popular protest movements demand that government change; populism in the present moment seeks to act extra-governmentally, and to this end relies on violence in the face of peace protest movement. This violence demonstrates the white patriarchalism of contemporary populism. I argue that peaceful, popular protest is an important tool to resist white patriarchal populist authoritarianism.
