Reviews
Tiburi provides a thought-provoking criticism of the ideas of supporters of the far-right movements that have swept the globe. This insightful book offers readers everywhere a deeper understanding about how to respond to this authoritarian trend and its defenders. * James N. Green, Carlos Manuel de Cespedes Professor of Modern Latin American History, Brown University, USA *
An essential book for those concerned with defending democracy against the current onslaught of authoritarianism. Combining the best of the Frankfurt School with personal (sometime life-threatening) experiences with right-wing populism in Brazil, Tiburi skillfully dissects the psycho-cultural underpinnings of 21st century fascism and in the process offers an indispensable guide to those struggling to defeat its rise throughout the world. * Jonathan Warren, Professor in the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies, University of Washington, USA *
At last, this prescient and bold work by Marcia Tiburi, a leading Brazilian intellectual, is available to a broader audience. Brazil's far-right president Jair Bolsonaro "talks" to the public in the language of spectacular violence, of debasement of the other, of flagrant, abject ignorance. Tiburi's book decodes and contextualizes his authoritarianism for us; I only wish it were less relevant. * Amy Chazkel, Associate Professor of History, Columbia University, USA *
