Intervju med Jason Stanley i Haaretz 25. mai 2025.
Stanley er forfatter av boken "Erasing History:
How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future"
Nå flytter han fra USA til Canada.
Utslagsgivende ble Columbia-universitetets aksept av Trumps angrep på universitetet:
"Stanley says he made the decision to leave the United States after Columbia University agreed in March to the Trump administration's terms for unfreezing $400 million in federal funding".
"Rewriting America"
"Stanley has spent years studying how authoritarian and fascist regimes manipulate education and information. His recent book, "Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future," examines how fear and misinformation are used to reshape public understanding. Cultural and educational institutions become ideological battlegrounds. Schools and universities – trusted in democracies to preserve a record of social progress – are targeted. The authoritarian regime seeks to silence critical inquiry and wipe out the memory of protests, movements and rebellions that challenge the status quo."
Intervjuet har denne overskriften:
"Jason Stanley Is Leaving Trump's America Because of Fascism. But He's Not Giving Up the Fight"
"The philosopher and author talks to Haaretz about the parallels between him and his Nazi-fleeing grandmother, how antisemitism is being weaponized in the U.S. and his plan to build a global network against authoritarianism"
