      title = {Populist Discourse in Venezuela and the United States :  American Unexceptionalism and Political Identity Formation  /},
      abstract = {Using the conceptual framework of populism as discourse,  Ritchie Savage provides a comparative analysis of U.S. and  Latin American speeches and articles covering Betancourt's  Acción Democrática, Chávez, McCarthyism, and the Tea  Party. In so doing, he reveals an essential structure to  populist discourse: reference to the "opposition" as a  representation of the persistence of social conflict, posed  against a collective memory of the origins of democracy and  struggle for equality, is present in all cases. This  discursive formation of populism is carried out in  comparisons of political discourse in the United States and  Venezuela, two countries that are typically classified as  empirically specific in their economic and political  development and ideological orientation. Populist Discourse  in Venezuela and the United States explores how instances  of populism, once exceptional phenomena within modern forms  of political rule, are becoming increasingly integrated  with the structure of democratic politics.--},
