My Article on Self-Respect, Civilization, and the Conditions of Fraternity in India, for a special issue on Majority/Minority in South Asia, edited by Natasha Raheja and Mohsin Alam Bhat, now up on Bordelines-CSAAME. The issue has a fantastic collection of essays on the Majority/Minority question in the region.

Disgrace at the New School, to be replicated elsewhere.

"A climate of self-censorship and fear of authority is antithetical to the basic object of critical social research."

[Paulo L. dos Santos @plbds]

The Department of Economics at the New School for Social Research has just issued a statement on the New School's decision to layoff dozens of staff and faculty colleagues, including our own colleague and friend, Professor Sanjay Reddy.

"Authoritarian regimes always look immensely powerful up until the point they do not."

[Navyug Saffuwalia @navyuggill]

"The current moment—globally, not just in the US—makes clear that authoritarian political rule was never a uniquely Middle Eastern pathology. It can’t be separated from extreme inequality and social polarization, and the deployment of state violence to manage social crises."
