Walls of Resentment: How Nationalist Backlash Fuels Division, Transforms Politics, and Demands a Framework for Democratic Renewal #916411

Nationalism is surging once more, reshaping borders, politics, and identities. Walls of Resentment examines the forces driving this new wave, where historical grievances combine with modern media to fuel anti-immigrant sentiment across nations.

Through rigorous analysis, this book explains how old wounds are reactivated in contemporary debates, why populist leaders weaponize resentment, and how digital platforms amplify hostility into mainstream politics. At the same time, it investigates possible responses—strategies for preserving democratic integrity, re-establishing civic trust, and creating systems that move beyond fear and exclusion.

Written for professionals, academics, and policymakers, Walls of Resentment delivers a clear, evidence-based framework for understanding today’s nationalist backlash. It is essential reading for those who seek not only to grasp the causes of division but to chart a path toward democratic resilience.
