When the Brazilian public intellectual Marcia Tiburi published The
Psycho-Cultural Underpinnings of Everyday Fascism in 2015, fascism
was yet to return to the public consciousness. But Tiburi was
motivated by the kind of fascism she was noticing in daily life —
people who fail to practise any kind of reflection about society,
betraying a pattern of everyday thought characterized by the
repetition of clichés and the angry language of hatred. Three
years later, Brazil elected the far-right President Jair Bolsonaro.
Now available in English for the first time, this prescient work
speaks to our present moment. Fascism is among us once again,
evident in the collective expression of exacerbated
authoritarianism and the growing hatred against difference and
people marked as socially undesirable. Drawing on her own
first-hand, brutal encounters, Tiburi connects ways of thinking in
Brazil to what is happening around us today and introduces us to
the fascist as manipulator, the distorter of other people's speech;
fascist as an activist of evil on a daily basis, the one who lives
by fostering racism and male-domination and is proud of it. Tiburi
takes us beyond formal policies, reinvigorates ideas from the
Frankfurt School and refuses to otherize supporters of fascism.
Instead she asks what is amiss in their lives that then attracts
them to a political project that victimizes them. This powerful
book forces us to consider to our actions at a subjective level and
changes our way of thinking through issues of hate and divisiveness
pervading politics everywhere.
