A historian of modern America, Gary Gerstle has written extensively on the intersections of economics and politics and on the tangled relationship between race and nationality. At Radcliffe, he will write a book on the politics of our time and, in particular, on the circumstances that have made authoritarianism so tempting and democracy so fragile in the 21st century.
