Books We Read

Our book club reads both fiction and nonfiction exploring democracy, autocracy, and resistance. Some of our recent books include:

• How to Lose a Country: 7 Steps from Democracy to Dictatorship — Ece Temelkuran
• Imagined Communities — Benedict Anderson
• Twilight of Democracy — Anne Applebaum
• On Tyranny — Timothy Snyder

Any member can suggest a book. We aim to read works that help us understand democratic backsliding and how people have resisted it in the past and present.
