Polarizations, exclusionary neonationalisms and the city

Yiftachel, Oren and Rokem, Jonathan (2021) Polarizations, exclusionary neonationalisms and the city. Political Geography, 86.

Abstract

Political geographers have recently renewed conversation on the spatialities of exclusionary neonationalism, surfacing in the form of right-wing political populism (Casaglia et al., 2020), Islamophobia (Antonsich, 2018; Koch & Vora, 2020) and neo-colonial relations (Avni, 2020). These insightful commentaries, however, are yet to address an important political-geographic dimension of the phenomenon: the growing schism between metropolitan and nationalist politics, which we conceptualize here as double polarization. The spatial and political consequences of this emergent dynamic, we contend, call for new articulations of urban political geography.
