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.
