Erasing History

In Erasing History, Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explores the alarming rise of authoritarian movements globally and their attempts to rewrite history, particularly in the realms of race, gender, sexuality, and class. He delves into the critical role that education plays in preserving a common memory of progress and how these movements target schools and universities to end critical inquiry. By identifying key tactics and funders behind this assault, Stanley sheds light on the urgent need for democracies to defend against these threats and maintain the legacy of positive change derived from protests and social movements.
