Also, I wasn't teaching historiography for a bit, so I stopped paying close attention to new pubs in #USHistory. I like to assign something *so* new at the end that there are no academic reviews yet, so students have look at cutting-edge work, and review it themselves. So, what's good and fresh?

There's a reason Nazis were so worried about the influence of Jewish thinkers in Europe and that's because they were the most consistent voice for revolutionary change Europe had seen. What antisemites saw as 'rootlessness' was actually a desire to be rooted wherever you are.
