Historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat

In the video above, Professor Stefano Albertini (NYU) is in conversation with Historian and Professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat (NYU), author of the upcoming Strongmen: How They Rise, Why They Succeed, How They Fall. The episode, titled “Democracy Under Threat: Strongmen and the Pandemic” was broadcast live on NYU Casa Italiana Zerilli Marimò Facebook Page and website.

The conversation focuses on themes present in Ben-Ghiat’s upcoming book – in which the author analyzes everything from gender and sexuality to art and architecture, to reveal both how strongmen are shaped and promoted by our own history and desires, and why we fall for their promises – with special attention dedicated to contemporary events surrounding the Coronavirus pandemic.

Trump-Mussolini (by Antonio Giambanco for VNY)
