Jason Stanley’s books explore fascist tactics and how they are used to achieve power. In How Fascism Works, he lays out 10 fascist tactics used in the past and today. In Erasing History, he focuses in on one of those tactics, the rewriting of the past. In both his books, Stanley pulls from examples across the world and across time. He explores 1930s Germany along with 1990s Serbia, 2010s Myanmar, and the India, Hungary, and Turkey of today. He also includes the United States, past and present in his books - laying bare the fascist tactics used in the U.S. since before the Civil War - and tying U.S. fascist tactics directly to anti-Blackness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66901fd6140e03088e77f084/629ea8aa-7977-498e-a835-4be2166ee968/Screenshot+2025-06-20+at+12.14.57%E2%80%AFPM.png Blog - Sandbox books: “How Fascism Works” and “Erasing History” - In this, Jason Stanley is different from many people today who talk about fascism in the United States. For years, the prevailing U.S. (white) discourse around fascism could be summarized as “fascism was something bad that happened in other countries (notably Germany) and in other times (i.e. 1930s and 40s)”. As a secondary Social Studies teacher and curriculum developer, I remember teaching and writing to standards that talked about fascism as something new that rose up in the 1920s in Europe. Today, I hear people talking about how “we’ve never seen fascism in the United States before”. These messages make us feel good as white Americans .. .and are completely false. Stanley illuminates this falsehood through examples of U.S. fascist tactics from the 1800s through today. He talks about the fascist tactics used in the law and order campaigns of the 1970s-90s and in the lynchings of Black people in the 19th and 20th centuries, He writes about how U.S. History has been erased in the creation of textbooks and monuments through the Lost Cause movement of the early 1900s and how it is being erased today through anti-DEI curriculum and book bans. Through his examples, Stanley firmly places the United States within a fascist tradition and shows how fascism is nothing new to the U.S.; it has just been ignored, unrecognized, and denied since it was mostly directed at Black people. https://www.bmoreantiracist.org/bog/what-were-noticing-la-part-2 monthly 0.5 2025-06-12 https://www.bmoreantiracist.org/bog/what-were-noticing-la monthly 0.5 2025-06-09 https://www.bmoreantiracist.org/bog/what-were-noticing-how-do-we-keep-the-abnormal-from-becoming-normalnbsp monthly 0.5 2025-06-05 https://www.bmoreantiracist.org/bog/u3qgm1rmtw9784ehfjk82uh5q1qv9a monthly 0.5 2025-06-03 https://www.bmoreantiracist.org/bog/octavia-butlers-a-few-rules monthly 0.5 2025-05-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66901fd6140e03088e77f084/899440d8-2fd3-4f22-9703-8c2289a632de/obquotepic.png Blog - Octavia Butler’s “A Few Rules…” - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.bmoreantiracist.org/bog/sandbox-books-roll-of-thunder-hear-my-cry-and-the-warmth-of-other-suns monthly 0.5 2025-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66901fd6140e03088e77f084/639e8313-acf8-49b5-ab42-1018da852f61/Screenshot+2025-03-19+at+9.59.55%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - Sandbox Books: Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry and The Warmth of Other Suns “Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry” is a middle grade novel about Cassie Logan, a ten-year old Black girl living in Mississippi in the 1930s. Told from Cassie’s point of view and based on stories from Taylor’s family, the book deals age appropriately but unflinchingly with lynchings, sharecropping, segregated schools, and other realities of the white supremacist violence present in the Jim Crow South. I can’t remember whether my dad read this to me as a child or I read it myself. I do remember being struck by the story and the tales of what I, as a white pre-teen, perceived of individual racial hatred. However, when I reread the story as an adult ARAO educator and facilitator, “Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry” became deeper as I was able to pick out the strings of institutional, cultural, and structural racism that shaped the society in which Cassie and her family lived. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66901fd6140e03088e77f084/1b8a281c-9acb-4d67-8c2b-706fe04169ff/Screenshot+2025-03-19+at+10.00.26%E2%80%AFAM.png Blog - Sandbox Books: Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry and The Warmth of Other Suns Many of us adults, especially white adults, are uneducated on U.S. history ourselves. We need to do our own learning before we can contextualize for our children. “The Warmth of Other Suns” provides some of that context, providing a history of The Great Migration, including the violent anti-Black South that Black families who migrated fled. The histories of lynchings, segregation, and share-cropping that Wilkerson provides give the lie to a false history of peaceful separate lives lived in the South under Jim Crow. . https://www.bmoreantiracist.org/bog/why-this-is-a-bruce-lee-moment monthly 0.5 2025-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66901fd6140e03088e77f084/add88ea5-354d-48d4-9bfe-c1e891456670/bruce+lee+writing.jpg Blog - from REP: Why This is a Bruce Lee Moment - 2025 and THE WORK CONTINUES from rarehistoricalphotos.com https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66901fd6140e03088e77f084/801a9592-7bc8-4660-aef3-84d40a684abb/bruce+lee+chinese+philosophy.jpg Blog - from REP: Why This is a Bruce Lee Moment - Below are quotes from Bruce Lee’s martial arts philosophy that can help us remember our reality: the reality that we have been striving to create and the reality that will ultimately survive even this present moment: “Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.” from rarehistoricalphotos.com
