In countries ranging from the US and the UK to Brazil, India, and Turkey, support has grown for a nativist politics attacking migrants, minorities, liberals, and elites as enemies of the nation. Is there a politics of belonging that progressive forces could mobilise to counteract these trends?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAfter Nativism\u003c\/i\u003e takes up this question, arguing that disarming nativism will require more than improving the security and well-being of the 'left-behind'. The lines drawn by nativism are of an affective nature about imagined community, with meanings of belonging and voice lying at the heart of popular perceptions of just dues. This, argues Ash Amin, is the territory that progressive forces – liberal, social democratic, socialist – need to reclaim in order to shift public sentiment away from xenophobic intolerance towards one of commonality amid difference as a basis for facing existential risk and uncertainty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book proposes a relational politics of belonging premised on the encounter, fugitive aesthetics, public interest politics, collaboration over common existential threats, and daily collectives and infrastructures of wellbeing. There is ground for progressives to mount a counter-aesthetics of belonging that will convince the discontents of neoliberal globalisation that there is a better alternative to nativism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47423710920940,"sku":"9781509557318","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/91pq1LogJ9L._SL1500.jpg?v=1774428781","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/after-nativism-by-ash-amin-9781509557318","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
