Erasing History wer. angielska

Yale professor and acclaimed author of "How Fascism Works," Jason Stanley, presents a powerful challenge to the authoritarian right's attempts to dismantle a century of progress in social justice across race, gender, sexuality, and class. In "Erasing History," Stanley combines thorough historical research with an analysis of the current political climate to issue a stark warning: the most notorious fascist movements in history took root in educational settings, the very places where today's right-wing parties launch their fiercest assaults. Figures like Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Vladimir Putin, Recep Erdogan of Turkey, and Javier Milei of Argentina have recognized that reversing progress in civil rights and inclusion can effectively begin within schools. Stanley reveals the grave threat posed by these tactics, tracing their roots and funding back to historically dangerous ideologies. He emphasizes that hearts and minds are shaped within educational institutions, yet current government measures fall short in combating the fascist strategies being introduced through school boards, legal systems, and the organizations responsible for training educators and developing curriculum materials. This impassioned book serves as a crucial call to action for advocates of democracy worldwide.
