The international contributors to this volume examine the complex relationship between people and their rulers. From the roots of populism in 19th-century Latin America to the last century of Turkish rule and the Arab Spring, the cases span five continents and 12 nations. Taken together, they reveal how different forms of popular opposition have succeeded or failed in unseating and replacing authoritarian regimes, as well as exposing the tactics and strategies used by regimes to repress resistance and create an image of popular support. Nathan Stoltzfus is Dorothy and Jonathan Rintels Professor of Holocaust Studies and Professor of History at Florida State University. Christopher Osmar is preparing his dissertation on forced labor in the end phase of Nazi Germany for a book.
