notes
recommended: highly
this was a disturbingly current read. it’s reasonably fresh off the press and i wrapped it up a couple of days before the election. it’s an exhaustively researched and referenced work that digs into the politically charged battles over education and the desire to create a glossy, positive history from those on the right.
there’s a lot to unpack in this book despite it’s pretty short length. it ranges from discussing the german repackaging of history pre-WW2 to florida’s book bans and dismantling of their instutuions of higher education.
this leaves the field wide open for creating an alternate form of reality. see also: russia and their assertions re: ukraine.
i borrowed this from the library, i will be purchasing this in paperback when available. if it’s not banned by then.
