Review\nPraise for TheHolocausts We All Deny: The Crisis Before the Fascist Inferno\n"Beautifully written, clear sighted, honest, and necessary reading in this contemporary moment of rising authoritarianism." Robin Yassin-Kassab, author of Burning Country: Syrians in Revolution and War\n"... an eloquent plea for our shared humanity that will open your eyes and move your conscience." Yassin al-Haj Saleh, author of Impossible Revolution\n"Theo Horesh articulates clearly what many political writers cannot express except through impossibly dense prose. His accessible style addresses the psychological underpinnings of geopolitics in a way that clarifies but does not condone why politicians and nations do the things they do. The reader always wants more and there's never the weary hope that the book will end soon. The combination of clarity, impatience with disinformation, and almost uncanny, counterintuitively realistic yet optimistic worldview is what makes Horesh worth reading every single time." Gail Vignola, Seton Hall University\n"...an honest, impassioned, and thought-provoking work, asking questions that stay with the reader long after they put down the book. His writing rejects complacency and demands carefully thinking about dimensions of our contemporary world that require attention and intellectual honesty." Mark Leuchter, Professor of Ancient Judaism, Temple University\nPraise for The Fascism This Time: And the Global Future of Democracy\n"The rise of fascist and quasi-fascist movements in recent years have been well-documented. Theo Horesh takes the vitally important step of also analyzing its components, understanding its appeal, recognizing its danger and, in doing so, better enables us to defend democracy." Stephen Zunes, University of San Francisco\n"... an extremely timely and insightful book which challenges existing complacencies... an important wake-up call regarding the... emergence of a rebranded fascism, which threatens core democratic values, sacred social institutions, and the future of international cooperation in the face of truly global collective action problems." Garrett Wallace Brown, author of The Cosmopolitan Reader, Chair in Political Theory, University of Leeds\n"Theo Horesh's short but clearly written and excellent account... is a brilliant, necessary book, and highly recommended." David Zindell, author of The Idiot Gods\n"...puts to words what so many of us have been quietly thinking and feeling in these uncertain and unsettling time... creates a nuanced and well supported argument that is both approachable and complex..." Johanna Blumenthal, Regis University\n"This eloquently written work is a feast of insights. Theo Horesh takes us on a tour de force into the heart of the return of the spectre of fascism. A must-read to deepen our understanding of the global rise of populism." Andreas Hernandez, University of New Mexico\n"Horesh's perceptive and thoughtful views on fascism are in the great tradition of past works by Orwell, Albert Camus, Hannah Arendt and Henry Thoreau."Andy Heintz, author of Dissidents of the International Left\nThe breakdown of the liberal international order has brought about a more dangerous and chaotic world in which mass suffering all too often goes overlooked. Meanwhile, social media and the internet have turned us into active participants in catastrophic events. Not only have they exposed us to more crimes against humanity. They have drawn us into taking sides, and in so doing all too many of us have internalized the traumas once reserved for people in distant places. And our personal traumas have contributed to a wider sense of collective trauma, which can now be experienced in every major region of the world. In this way, trauma has been globalized and so must our solutions to it.\nThis book is erudite overview of the new brutality peering through the cracks of a disintegrating international order. It explores the way collective traumas have sha

"... lucidly written and eye-opening, a timely and conscientious ringing of the bells." Yassin Al-Haj Saleh, author of Impossible Revolution: Making Sense of the Syrian Tragedy A new wave of fascism is inundating the world under the guise of rightwing populism, but the fascism this time has little to do with taking down elites-and it is every bit as dangerous as the last. Fascism can be identified by its toxic brew of racism, sexism, nationalism, and authoritarianism. It is organized around a cult of personality, and it mobilizes ressentiment in senseless acts of nihilism. Fascist movements are dangerous because they harness nationalist aggression against minorities, but their subtler danger lies in their turn against reality. They reject science and rationality because they are seen as a threat, and since the world cannot be turned off, fascists try to tear it down instead. Fascists seek to escape the burden of freedom, stemming from democracy and development, and return to a mythologized patriarchy. Yet, in a vast and complex world, where survival requires adaptation, and adaptation flexibility, their forced regression always ends in destruction. The Fascism This Time elucidates a psychosocial model of fascism which predicted that Trump's election would lead to immigrant concentration camps, an accelerated assault on democratic institutions, a striking global increase in authoritarianism and crimes against humanity, and all the starvation of Yemen. It is an original and perceptive account tying the fascism this time to the overwhelming challenges with which the world is now faced. And it is a sweeping defense of democracy, inspiring action and reflection, and sparkling with insights, in the esteemed tradition of Hannah Arendt and Alexis de Tocqueville.

The Fascism this Time: and the Global Future of Democracy

Politics & Social Sciences

Politics & Government

Humanity is now faced with an array of global challenges we are ill equipped to handle. Climate change and nuclear proliferation, food security and global pandemic disease each concern us all. But we lack the global institutions through which they might be solved. And these institutions are lacking because most people put the needs of their own groups first. While the great challenges of the twenty-first century are largely global, few people think of themselves as global citizens. And few bring the same balance and maturity to global issues that they do to more national concerns. The world is vast and overwhelming. Making sense of it requires greater knowledge, greater empathy, and greater ethical commitments. This process might best be described as the globalization of mind, and it is just getting under way. But thinking globally will become easier as global interconnectivity increases, as global institutions grow in scope, and as more people are exposed to greater human diversity and devote themselves to solving global challenges. Convergence: The Globalization of Mind is a magisterial exploration of the challenges that lie in wait, raising as many questions as it answers, and all the while deepening the readers' own global thinking.

Convergence: The Globalization of Mind

Philosophy

Bauu Institute

Climate change may alter virtually every major human institution. It will transform who we believe ourselves to be and the way we relate with one another. It may even bring about a reconsideration of the meaning of human existence. But while most serious thinking on climate change is scientific and political, these questions are psychological, sociological, ethical, and spiritual. The failure to explore more deeply the inner climate through which climate change is received is a major part of the story of why there has been so little climate action. And yet, leading thinkers in virtually every branch of the social sciences and humanities are beginning to take on climate change. The Inner Climate explores the thoughts of an all-star cast of these often legendary thinkers through dialogue, and in so doing seeks to open up a new series of fronts through which climate change is redressed. Including interviews with Michael Shellenberger, Mike Hulme, Kate Pickett, Paul Slovic, Holmes Rolston III, John Broome, and Robert Henson Theo Horesh is freelance journalist and social entrepreneur and the author of Convergence: the Globalization of Mind.

Genocide and its tactics have been making something of a comeback, and it is all too often the victims in one generation who become the perpetrators in the next, transmuting "never again" into a rallying cry for the next act of mass violence. Few can keep their hearts open amid an endless fusillade of sorrow, so most just deny it is happening. But all too many find themselves eager to get in on the action and it is easier now than ever before. The mass murder of innocent civilians has long brutalized both victims and perpetrators alike, but now it does the same to its innumerable witnesses, standing transfixed before unspeakable crimes. Videos of the killings and human rights violations inure us to violence, while real time debates on social media make participants of us all. It is a globalized war from below, for the hearts and minds of humanity and the decency of the world order, which is dissolving before our eyes. This book is a panoramic excursion through the murderous new milieu, which ranges across Israel and Palestine, Syria and Iraq, Bosnia and Burma, Yemen and Nigeria. It is a vivid dissection of violence and a probing exploration of its causes, an erudite inquiry into the legacy of collective trauma and a magisterial overview of the new brutality peering through the cracks of a disintegrating international order. Sweeping in scope and striking in its originality, it will open your eyes and awaken your moral intelligence to the subterranean depths of ethnonational animosity today. Theo Horesh is a freelance journalist and the author of Convergence: The Globalization of Mind and The Inner Climate: Global Warming from the Inside Out, a series of dialogues with leading climate thinkers, like George Lakoff, Frances Moore Lappé, Paul Ehrlich, and Peter Senge.
