Daniel Ziblatt, Harvard Professor of Government returns to his hometown of Occidental discusses his recently published and
widely-acclaimed book Tyranny of the Minority, co-authored with fellow Harvard professor Steven Levitsky.

Professors Ziblatt and Levistsky are two of America’s very best comparative political scientists, with expertise that makes them uniquely well-equipped for the subject they’re examining. From global best-seller How Democracies Die, Ziblatt and Levitsky now “write with terrifying clarity how the forces of the right have co-opted the enshrined rules to exert their tyranny,” (Washington Post) and how we can fight to save our democracy. This searing, unsettling, new book is essential for everyone interested in understanding why, and how, democracy has come under assault and what should be done about it.

Ziblatt will be joined in discussion with his former Harvard student and Occidental native Tobias Snyder.
