“…Ethnographers and historians have highlighted how historical community transformations can fuel populist sentiments (Hochschild ; Kefalas ; Rieder ; Sugrue ; Wuthnow ). Studies have also looked at “neighborhood effects” on voting, analyzing the role of residential density, city‐suburban divides, and neighborhood ethnoracial composition (Berning and Ziller ; Quillian ; Van Gent et al ; Williamson ).…”

“…Previous work has demonstrated how historical community transformations may fuel populism and xenophobia (Aslanidis ; Hochschild ; Kefalas ; Rieder ; Sugrue ; Wuthnow ). Researchers have also shown how neighborhood characteristics can shape patterns of right‐wing populist voting (Berning and Ziller ; Van Gent, Jansen, and Smits ; Quillian ). While this important research has studied populism’s precedents, hardly any work has examined how a national upswing in right‐wing populism can impact communities: that is, how residents may newly navigate interactions, relationships, and places in the wake of divisive national politics.…”

Most research on right-wing populism has tried to explain the rise of populist movements and parties. While some have studied how neighborhood contexts and histories shape voting patterns, few have examined what happens locally after votes are cast. This article draws on three years of ethnographic research while the author lived in Brightmoor, a majority black, minority white poor depopulated Detroit neighborhood, to show how Trump's politics shaped local expressions and experiences of racism. First, I show how white Trump supporters expressed distinct approaches to xenophobic ethnonationalism and racial politics. Trump's surge empowered many to broadcast anti-immigrant sentiments, while they continued to put interactional and discursive work into not being seen as racist. Many also applied a "Trump lens" to local interactions and geographies and rendered minorities salient under Trump politics hypervisible. Second, I show how black residents equated xenophobic ethnonationalism with antiblack racism: seeing through pro-Trump whites' attempts to separate these. Some also applied a new "Trump lens" to interactions and geographies, using the category of Trump voter and a sense of the voting map to anticipate and make sense of racist interactions. This article offers new insights into the local impacts of a national surge in right-wing populism. 420 Cornelissen 5% to 11% of the vote went to Trump (Michigan Secretary of State 2016). In Detroit overall, Trump received 3% of the vote (Michigan Secretary of State 2016).Nevertheless, Donald Trump's national ascent did affect Brightmoor. After he won the May 2016 Republican primaries, some Brightmoor whites started to share Trump support, pro-Trump news, fake news, and memes on Facebook. In the final weeks before the elections, Trump yard signs appeared in the neighborhood. The presidential elections became a hot topic in neighborly conversations, community meetings, and churches. As I will show, this political moment of heightened rightwing populism 4 affected how white and black residents talked about antiblack racism and its connections to xenophobic ethnonationalism. Moreover, and again in different ways, what I call the Trump lens, a way of seeing shaped by this historical moment, shaped how pro-Trump whites and black residents started to navigate local interactions and geographies in ways oriented toward others rendered salient by this political moment.Previous work has demonstrated how historical community transformations may fuel populism and xenophobia (Aslanidis ). Researchers have also shown how neighborhood characteristics can shape patterns of right-wing populist voting (Berning and Ziller 2017;Van Gent, Jansen, and Smits 2014;Quillian 1995). While this important research has studied populism's precedents, hardly any work has examined how a national upswing in right-wing populism can impact communities: that is, how residents may newly navigate interactions, relationships, and places in the wake of divisive national politics.In this article, I show how Trump'...

“…Diese Einstellung ist weitestgehend unabhängig von der tatsächlichen Zahl der Migranten innerhalb einer Region (Stockemer, 2016). Dort wo direkter Kontakt zu multi-ethnischen Nach-bar_innen möglich ist und auch praktiziert wird, sinkt die Zustimmung zu Parteien mit fremdenfeindlichen Positionen (Green u.a., 2016;Berning & Ziller, 2017;Savelkoul, Laméris & Tolsma, 2017).…”

“…It was very difficult to cluster the employment categories, because the categories used in individual studies are non-exclusive. For example, in some studies worker is the only employment category (see Berning and Ziller 2016). Even if this variable is then positively and statistically significantly related to the radical right vote, we can only deduce that workers are significantly more likely to vote compared with any other professional category including self-employed, white-collar workers, pensioners and the unemployed.…”

In this article, we summarize the individual demand-level factors explaining the radical right-wing vote in European countries. To do so, we first review 46 quantitative peer-reviewed articles featuring the individual vote choice in favour of a radical right-wing party as the dependent variable. To identify relevant articles, we use Kai Arzheimer’s bibliography on the radical right and employ the following inclusion criterion: the articles must be written in English, they must use the individual vote for a radical right-wing party as the dependent variable, they must use a quantitative methodology and they must include some type of regression analysis. Using this strategy, we conduct a meta-analysis of 329 relevant models and find that over 20 individual variables are tested. Because many variables such as attitudes towards immigration, employment, age, education and gender only show moderate success rates in attempting to explain an individual’s propensity to vote for the radical right, we complement the review of quantitative studies with an analysis of 14 qualitative publications. The review of these qualitative works shows that the processes through which somebody becomes a voter, supporter or activist of the radical right are often more complex than the commonly used surveys can portray them. Frequently, feelings of relative economic deprivation and dissatisfaction with the political regime trigger an awakening that makes individuals seek engagement. However, the processes behind this awakening are complex and can only be partially captured by quantitative studies.
