SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: Federico Finchelstein / A Brief History of Fascist Lies
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith and UC Press present a 6-part series of virtual events focused on urgent societal issues\, broadcasting every Monday at 11am PST. This second event in the series features Federico Finchelstein discussing his book A Brief History of Fascist Lies. \nThis is a free event\, but RSVP is required. RSVP here. \n\n\n\n“There is no better book on fascism’s complex and vexed relationship with truth.” – Jason Stanley\, author of How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them \nIn this short companion to his book From Fascism to Populism in History\, world-renowned historian Federico Finchelstein explains why fascists regarded simple and often hateful lies as truth\, and why so many of their followers believed the falsehoods. Throughout the history of the twentieth century\, many supporters of fascist ideologies regarded political lies as truth incarnated in their leader. From Hitler to Mussolini\, fascist leaders capitalized on lies as the base of their power and popular sovereignty. \nThis history continues in the present\, when lies again seem to increasingly replace empirical truth. Now that actual news is presented as “fake news” and false news becomes government policy\, A Brief History of Fascist Lies urges us to remember that the current talk of “post-truth” has a long political and intellectual lineage that we cannot ignore. \n\n\n\n\nFederico Finchelstein is Professor of History at the New School for Social Research and Eugene Lang College in New York City. He is the author of several books\, including From Fascism to Populism in History\, Transatlantic Fascism\, and The Ideological Origins of the Dirty War. His books have been translated into many languages\, including Spanish\, Portuguese\, Turkish\, and Italian. He contributes to major American\, European\, and Latin American media\, including the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, the Guardian\, CNN\, Foreign Policy\, Clarín\, Corriere della Sera\, Nexos\, and Folha de S.Paulo. \n\n\n\n\nUC Press Now: Urgent Conversations hosted by Booksmith \n\n\n\n\n\n8/3: A. Naomi Paik / Bans\, Walls\, Raids\, Sanctuary: Understanding U.S. Immigration for the Twenty-First Century\n8/10: Federico Finchelstein / A Brief History of Fascist Lies\n8/17: Aya Gruber / The Feminist War on Crime: The Unexpected Role of Women’s Liberation in Mass Incarceration\n8/24: Erin Hatton / Coerced: Work Under Threat of Punishment\n8/31: Sarah Jaquette Ray / A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety: How to Keep Your Cool on a Warming Planet\n9/7: Joe Trotter / Workers on Arrival: Black Labor in the Making of America\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is free and all ages\, but RSVP is required. \nTo have A Brief History of Fascist Lies sent to your door\, order here.

This book spoke directly to my heart. Read it.”\n— Esmé Weijun Wang \n“The Fixed Stars\, like its protagonist\, is both brave and sexy\, both heady and bodily\, and I ripped through this memoir like it was the most erudite romance novel in the world. This is a truly compelling look at sexuality\, marriage\, and parenthood in this century.”\n— Emma Straub \n\nAbout The Fixed Stars \nFrom a bestselling memoirist\, a thoughtful and provocative story of changing identity\, complex sexuality\, and enduring family relationships. \nAt age 36\, while serving on a jury\, author Molly Wizenberg found herself drawn to a female attorney she hardly knew. Married to a man for nearly a decade and mother to a toddler\, Wizenberg tried to return to her life as she knew it\, but something inside her had changed irrevocably. Instead\, she would discover that the trajectory of our lives is rarely as smooth or as logical as we’d like to believe. \nLike many of us\, Wizenberg had long understood sexual orientation as a stable part of ourselves: we’re “born this way.” Suddenly she realized that her story was more complicated. Who was she\, she wondered\, if something at her very core could change so radically? The Fixed Stars is a taut\, electrifying memoir exploring timely and timeless questions about desire\, identity\, and the limits and possibilities of family. In honest and searing prose\, Wizenberg forges a new path: through the murk of separation and divorce\, coming out to family and friends\, learning to co-parent a young child\, and realizing a new vision of love. The result is a frank and moving story about letting go of rigid definitions and ideals that no longer fit\, and learning instead who we really are.
