Three "Yale" "experts" in fascism leaving for the University of Toronto because they think America is toast... Good riddance! If you think we're in such dire straights and your expertise is so valuable, why don't you plant your feet and help out your countrymen.

You will never see MSNBC or the NYT featuring scholars of Asia or Africa or South America to impart "lessons" from history. Even after many years of curricular reform, American liberals still in their hearts believe it is 20th century Europe which generates laws of history.

Whatever 1 says about the fascism debate, future historians will probably look back at Snyder and Stanley as the most influential and well known representatives of the MAGA/Trump fascism defense. A hard pill to swallow for those who defend a more nuanced version of this view.

Cannot say enough good things about University Keywords (ed by Andy Hines, ft an impressive list of contributors, out soon with JHU Press) whose index I built. Should be required reading for everyone in higher ed today. Here's a snippet of the index: press.jhu.edu/books/title/33…

From a left perspective there's something critical to be said about a neoliberal circulation of international elites at prestigious American universities that middle and working class students could never afford outside of student loans and grants. It's a shame that such reforms

Do you think he would ever say the same about public higher education, rather than private universities that serve like 1% of the US population?

Imagine how much condemnation there would be for anyone who accepted a Vladimir Putin History Prize or Victor Orban History Prize.

The rise of history as a profession coincided with the democratization of American higher education and the rise of the middle class. Both of those are now over. It takes an extraordinary effort for Mike Kazin, in the NYRB, to not be aware of any of this.
