New @thedigradio ep w Laura Mason on The Last Revolutionaries: The Conspiracy Trial of Gracchus Babeuf and the Equals. The fascinating story of Babeuf and the Directory through which Mason makes a good case that it's time to study how the French Rev ended https://t.co/01HKSSEz1u

Second of two-part interview w Nadia Abu El-Haj on her book Combat Trauma. In this ep we analyze culture of American militarism more generally—including what it means that agents of state violence across the board turn to the grammar of identity politics. https://t.co/92Ml89ygTF

New @thedigradio ep! @temne on The Emancipation Circuit: Black Activism Forging a Culture of Freedom. A hugely expansive history of freedpeople organizing amid the Civil War and Reconstruction—and how its legacy transformed Black struggle and US history. https://t.co/CYqKe7WuxO

This week's Dig episode is from the archives and pairs really nicely with last week's @KojoKoram interview. It's Adom Getachew on her book Worldmaking after Empire: The Rise and Fall of Self-Determination. https://t.co/WtCmZGQxFH

I'll be discussing Brazil w Alfredo Saad-Filho and @safbf soon: What articles/essays in English or Spanish (can't read Portuguese) should I read to prep? My first interview w Alfredo was on what led up to Bolsonaro. This one will be on what's happened since and what may come next
