Join us for a special conversation with Anne Applebaum, author of Twilight of Democracy: The Seductive Lure of Authoritarianism.
Over the last 10 years, democracies around the world have slipped towards nationalism and authoritarianism. Why have so many countries, including once-stable democracies like our own in the US, been so vulnerable to autocratic encroachment? How can we reverse this illiberal tide? Join DFN for a conversation with Anne Applebaum, author of Twilight of Democracy: The Seductive Lure of Authoritarianism. In her latest book, Anne describes many of the new advocates of illiberalism around the world, showing how they use conspiracy theory, political polarization, social media, and even nostalgia to change their societies.
Anne will be joining us for a special conversation by video on Tuesday, June 12 from 12-1pm ET / 9-10am PT. Join Anne and funders in conversation about the book and these important questions on the future of our nation and world. If you’d like to read the book before or after the discussion, you can order from Bookshop, your local bookstore, or your go-to book source.
