This collection examines global examples-from conspiracy narratives in Iran to street protests in South Korea and Boy Scout camps in the US. It shows how folklore can help citizens understand both the threats to democracy and its enduring power. Essayists offer insightful and thought-provoking analysis that will challenge readers to reflect on the pressing issues facing democratic societies today. What makes this volume truly stand out is its embrace of diverse perspectives and voices. Readers will find no singular political stance or ideological program in The Folklore of Democracy.

The Folklore of Democracy invites readers to recognize the complexity of democratic discourse and the ways in which folklore-through its many forms-helps us engage with and navigate these complexities. This book is essential for anyone interested in understanding the role of culture in democracy. The contributors provide accessible and meaningful insights for scholars, students, and anyone concerned with the future of democratic societies.…
