About the Author
Corey Robin is a distinguished political theorist and professor of political science at Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, where he explores the intersections of power, ideology, and human emotion in shaping modern politics. His incisive scholarship challenges conventional narratives, particularly in examining conservatism's enduring appeal and the role of fear as a mobilizing force in democratic societies. Drawing from historical figures like Edmund Burke to contemporary icons such as Sarah Palin, Robin's work illuminates the reactionary impulses that underpin political movements. A frequent contributor to leading publications like The New York Times and The Nation, he bridges academic rigor with accessible prose, making complex ideas resonate with a broad audience. Through his books, Robin continues to provoke thoughtful discourse on the tensions between freedom and authority in American life.
