It is our contention that the authenticity claimed by and ascribed to the protesting farmers drew legitimacy from the intimate association of authenticity with the rural identified and critiqued by Theodor Adorno in his 1973 The Jargon of Authenticity. We show how the ingrained idea of farmers as inherently authentic not only drove the remarkably sympathetic initial public response to the protests, but also facilitated their alignment with populist nationalist politics. In addition, drawing on the work of Sara Ahmed and Michael Kimmel, we argue that this same idea allowed the farmers to appeal to a rural masculinity that marked their anger and violence as justified.  aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights  aEnglish 7aGeography2bicssc  aauthenticity; Populism; Masculinity; Farmer; Protest; Theodor Adorno1 aFigueiredo, Elisabete4edt1 aFigueiredo, Elisabete4oth1 aFuglestad, Eirik Magnus4edt1 aFuglestad, Eirik Magnus4oth1 aPospěch, Pavel4oth0 aDOAB Library.40uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/7177670zFree-to-read: DOAB: description of the publication  c92545d92545
