In the United States, democracy is under attack by an authoritarian movement that has found fertile ground among the country’s conservative politicians and voters, but similar movements have found homes in the hearts and minds of people around the globe. To understand the shape, form, and stakes of this assault, we must go back to extract lessons from our past. In authoritarian countries, critical examination of those nations’ history and traditions is discouraged if not an outright danger to those who do it. And it is no accident that local and global institutions of education have become a battleground, where learning and efforts to upend a hierarchal status quo can be put to end by coercion and threats of violence. Democracies entrust schools and universities to preserve a common memory of positive change, generated by protests, social movements, and rebellions. The authoritarian right must erase this history, and, along with it, the very practice of critical inquiry that has so often been the engine of future progress. In Erasing History , Yale professor of philosophy Jason Stanley exposes the true danger of the authoritarian right’s attacks on education, identifies their key tactics and funders, and traces their intellectual roots. He illustrates how fears of a fascist future have metastasized, from hypothetical threat to present reality. And with his “urgent, piercing, and altogether brilliant” (Johnathan M. Metzl, author of What We’ve Become ) insight, he illustrates that hearts and minds are won in our schools and universities—places that democratic societies across the world are now ill-prepared to defend against the fascist assault currently underway. Review: Outstanding work 👏 - This is a must reading item. Thank you 😊 Review: Helpful in the fight against book and knowledge access - Read this right after reading his book HOW FASCISM WORKS (which I recommend.) This book is for you if you: - Want to understand why some people are trying to get on school boards in order to control the curriculum. Seriously, like, what’s the big deal? - Realize now as an adult that the history you learned in school was missing a lot of people and/or their voices. Why? How? And why would there be pushback on making sure it was more accurate and thorough now that we know better? - Have heard that the information you hear/see/read is different than that of other people on social media, news/media coverage, books you can access in public libraries. Why don’t we all have the same thing? - Keep hearing people use words like ‘fascism’ and ‘autocracy,’ but don’t really understand what that means. And is it really a thing that could happen here in the US? - Don’t understand why we don’t have national automatic voter registration once we turn 18 or become American citizens. Wouldn’t that save a lot of hassle? - May still think it’s not that big a deal that people who have been convicted of a crime can’t vote anymore. Isn’t it their own fault? - Are doing the work to fight against people, organizations that are trying to limit access to books and a full public education. Want some reference points, examples. It took me about 4.5 or 5 hours to listen to it, and it made so many connections happen in my brain about what’s going on and why as I took my walks, did my chores, and drove around, all in language I could understand. Definitely recommend. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #112,426 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #20 in Fascism (Books) #70 in Discrimination & Racism #1,346 in History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 829 Reviews | ## Images ![Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71LLNMEh1JL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding work 👏 *by D***S on August 4, 2026* This is a must reading item.
