For this talk, Steven Hahn will examine the deep history of illiberalism and how illiberalism's cultural and political currents have long been close to the surface of American life when they haven't flowed across much that we regard as the mainstream.
Steven Hahn is a specialist on the international history of slavery, emancipation, and race, on the construction of American empire, on the social and political history of the “long nineteenth century” in the United States, and on the history of social movements. He has written for The Nation, Dissent, The New Republic, Le Monde Diplomatique, Nexos (Mexico City), and the New York Times, as well as for the American Historical Review, the Journal of Southern History, and Past and Present.
This event is part of the Critical History Today lecture series.
