This English translation of the Brazilian bestseller presents first-hand social and cultural critique of the rising wave of far-right populism.
Marcia Tiburi is a Visiting Professor at Université Paris 8, France. In Brazil, she is the best-selling author of numerous books. She was forced to leave Brazil due to threat of persecution and is now an author in exile. How to Talk to a Fascist is the first English translation of her work.
Tiburi provides a thought-provoking criticism of the ideas of
supporters of the far-right movements that have swept the globe.
This insightful book offers readers everywhere a deeper
understanding about how to respond to this authoritarian trend and
its defenders.

An essential book for those concerned with defending democracy
against the current onslaught of authoritarianism. Combining the
best of the Frankfurt School with personal (sometime
life-threatening) experiences with right-wing populism in Brazil,
Tiburi skillfully dissects the psycho-cultural underpinnings of
21st century fascism and in the process offers an indispensable
guide to those struggling to defeat its rise throughout the
world.

International Studies, University of Washington, USA*
At last, this prescient and bold work by Marcia Tiburi, a leading
Brazilian intellectual, is available to a broader audience.
Brazil’s far-right president Jair Bolsonaro “talks” to the public
in the language of spectacular violence, of debasement of the
other, of flagrant, abject ignorance. Tiburi’s book decodes and
contextualizes his authoritarianism for us; I only wish it were
less relevant.
*Amy Chazkel, Associate Professor of History, Columbia University,
USA*
