Erasing History

How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future
Book • 2024
In *Erasing History*, Jason Stanley exposes the true danger of the authoritarian right’s attacks on education, identifying their key tactics and funders, and tracing their intellectual roots.

He illustrates how fears of a fascist future have become a present reality, with hearts and minds being won in schools and universities.

Stanley shows how democratic societies are ill-prepared to defend against these fascist assaults, which aim to erase historical memory and critical inquiry.

The book is a global call to action to preserve democracy by understanding and combating these authoritarian efforts.
