Ruth Ben-Ghiat joins us in studio for a conversation with Dean Peter Arnade of the UH College of Arts, Languages and Letters about the research that inspired her newest publication and Authoritarianism in the past and present. In this discussion, Ben-Ghiat dives into topics that include recent populist leaders, traces of toxic masculinity in statecraft, right-wing nationalist authoritarianism, and the evolution of propaganda. In her latest book, Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present, Ben-Ghiat looks at how illiberal leaders use propaganda, corruption, violence, and machismo — and how they can be defeated. Professor Ben-Ghiat is the spring 2023 Dan and Maggie Inouye Distinguished Chair in Democratic Ideals at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
