See you in NYC the first weekend of the year for #AHA25!

[Jonathan Fine @jonathanbfine]

Feel that chill in the air? That’s right. It’s Frankfurt School Fall. If your friend group isn’t critiquing the culture industry and hating jazz, you need to find a new posse.

[Daniel Steinmetz-Jenkins @daniel_dsj2110]

Wow! Get ready for Greg Grandin’s new book:

“America, América traverses half a millennium, from the Spanish Conquest—the greatest mortality event in human history—through the eighteenth-century wars for independence, the Monroe Doctrine, the coups and revolutions of the twentieth century, and beyond. Grandin shows, among other things, how royalist Spanish America, by sending troops and supplies, helped save the republican American Revolution; how in response to U.S. interventions, Latin Americans remade the rules, leading directly to the founding of the United Nations; and how the Good Neighbor Policy allowed FDR to assume the moral authority to lead the fight against world fascism.”
