Another stellar review for my brilliant @newmarkjschool colleague @lindavillarosa's Under the Skin. "Villarosa’s unquenchable faith in the power of journalism makes her a worthy successor to another famous muckraker, Ida B Wells." https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/jul/02/under-the-skin-review-us-healthcare-racism-linda-villarosa?CMP=share_btn_tw

Started watching @Freedland's @edbookfest conversation and I'm captivated by the story of The Escape Artist: The Man Who Broke Out of Auschwitz to Warn the World. Can't wait for the book--so I'll order the UK edition from Blackwells now. https://t.co/zwUnsQ639B

I have just finished @ElieNYC's Allow Me To Retort. It is brilliant, audacious, mordantly hilarious, honest, important, and profound. I highly recommend listening over reading. I want it taught in every con law, government, and journalism course.

If you like this tweet, I recommend The Light Ages by @Seb_Falk & The Bright Ages by @Lollardfish & @prof_gabriele. Also Diane Webb's brilliant new translation of Johan Huizinga's Autumntide of the Middle Ages. Plus my bit on the perils of periodization: https://twitter.com/jeffjarvis/status/1480202325386047496 https://twitter.com/jeffjarvis/status/1487042223451607042
