'Erasing History is both sequel and prequel to Jason Stanley's invaluable How Fascism Works, a sweeping survey of this global fascist moment's anti-education
tide. From India to Turkey, from Russia to Florida - and maybe soon in a classroom near you - gross declarations of supremacist nationalism are becoming awful substitutes for historical inquiry. Erasing History, fast-paced and up-to-the-minute, tells us how it's happening and why the past is a front line in the struggle for a
future free of fascism' - Jeff Sharlet, author of THE UNDERTOW: SCENES FROM A SLOW CIVIL WAR
'Jason Stanley has been the essential voice for anyone seeking an unflinching account of the fascist dimensions of the current moment. In his latest contribution,
Stanley turns his attention to the fascist attacks on institutions-in this case, schools and universities. Erasing History delivers a vital decoding of the wideranging effort of a small but well-organized and well-resourced faction seeking to consolidate power by censoring knowledge and rewriting the past. Their efforts to undermine faith in education weakens the role of institutions that have served as laboratories for democracy. Stanley has provided a clear-eyed account of how the survival of our democracy must be routed through a deepened literacy about our past and the myriad efforts to mystify and deny it' - Kimberl Crenshaw, cofounder and executive director of the African American Policy Forum and coeditor of CRITICAL RACE THEORY
