Global Stuff on Stopping the Far Right Indoctrination of Young Men

On this podcast episode of Global Stuff, host Jimmy Durchslag talks with Craig A. Johnson, an author who documents and helps combat today’s global fascist resurgence. He hosts the Fifteen Minutes of Fascism podcast and new book, How to Talk to Your Son About Fascism, tackles a huge and urgent issue: young men seduced by today’s massive online industry of far-right propaganda.  The book is at once a practical guide for parents, teachers and concerned others on the spread of fascism and how it has become the danger it is today. This is a live show with call-ins.

Craig A. Johnson teaches in the history department at the University of California Berkeley, where he received his PhD in Latin American history. His areas of focus, in addition to Latin American history, are fascism and the Catholic Church, sometimes the intersection of all three. Johnson is also an independent journalist and host of the Fifteen Minutes of Fascism podcast. How to Talk to Your Son About Fascism is his first book.
