Ira Katznelson is Columbia University's Ruggles Professor of Political Science and History. Having served as president of the American Political Science Association, he is a member of the Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society. He is also the author of Fear Itself and When Affirmative Action Was White.
Redefining our traditional understanding of the New Deal, Fear Itself finally examines this pivotal American era through a sweeping international lens that juxtaposes a struggling democracy with enticing ideologies like Fascism and Communism. Ira Katznelson, “a towering figure in the study of American and European history” (Cornel West), boldly asserts that, during the 1930s and 1940s, American democracy was rescued yet distorted by a unified band of southern lawmakers who safeguarded racial segregation as they built a new national state to manage capitalism and assert global power. This original study brings to vivid life the politicians and pundits of the time, including Walter Lippmann, who argued that America needed a dose of dictatorship; Mississippi’s five-foot-two Senator Theodore Bilbo, who advocated the legal separation of races; and Robert Oppenheimer, who built the atomic bomb yet was tragically undone by the nation’s hysteria. Fear Itself is a necessary work, vital to understanding our world—a world the New Deal first made.

評分一部稱得上經典的巨著,2014年美國史學界最高奬班剋羅夫特奬得主。在自己涉足的領域中有這樣一部新近齣版的格局宏闊、構思精巧、文筆曉暢又不失深邃的標杆性著作,實在幸運。副標題采用“新政與我們時代的起源”也絕非為瞭吸睛誇張而為。新政可以說開創瞭“美利堅第二共和國”,當今美國政治生活的諸多特點和內在矛盾性都起源於那個時代,而要理解那個時代就離不開對蔓延於那個時代的種種恐懼的感知和把握。
