At the annual meetings of the American Historical Association in early January, Dr. Carol Anderson joined a panel of scholars tasked with responding to the question, “Is the United States Turning Toward Fascism”? Jan Haaken talks with Anderson about her comments on the panel, beginning with the January 6th attack on the Capital and her analysis of the role of white nationalism. They also discuss what can be learned from the history of fascism in the US in resisting current right-wing assaults on public institutions and voting rights. Dr. Anderson is professor of African American Studies at Emory University and author of numerous award-winning books, including White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of our Racial Divide and One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression is Destroying our Democracy.

 

Jan Haaken's film works include the documentary Our Bodies, Our Doctors (2019), about physicians dedicated to providing abortion access despite threats of violence and institutional opposition.  The film is available to stream on platforms including kanopy.
