How to Talk to a Fascist

Meer over het boek

Reflections on the authoritarian everyday life in Brazil. With her rare ability to explain philosophical themes to the common reader, Marcia Tiburi has achieved public and critical success as a pop philosopher. In "How to Talk to a Fascist," Marcia presents a philosophical-political purpose: to think with readers about issues of political culture experienced daily, in an open manner, without falling into academic jargon. The main argument is how to think of a method or posture to counter hate speech, its reflections in Brazilian society, and its repercussions on social media. The philosopher proposes dialogue as a form of resistance and analyzes recent news and events in the political world to show once again that it is possible to discuss complex themes in a way that everyone can understand. The book includes unpublished essays and some previously published in the magazine Cult, combining intellectual depth and sophistication present in the right measure in Marcia Tiburi's work.
