…American women struggle under. And, speaking as the great-granddaughter of Irish women who worked as domestics, there’s a reasonable argument to be made that working as a paid domestic is not necessarily exploitive, but honorable work for low-skill women who hope to put their family on the road to the middle class. The second way that Douthat says we are no way, no how in Atwood’s dystopian future is the “fizzling” of the religious right as a poli…

The War On Terror Is Over

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…ther than diminishing the threat of terror, it was one of the factors that promoted anti-Americanism and made terrorism possible. Practices of torture and imprisonment without trial have helped to enlarge the image of America as an evil enemy.

By Shaul Magid

…a state? Nation-states certainly exist, but do they have a right to exist? Irish people have a state, but do they have a right to a state? There’s a robust debate about this in the study of nations and nationalism that’s nowhere to be found here because it doesn’t serve the purpose of collapsing anti-Zionism with antisemitism, which is to weaponize it in order to fend off justified criticism of the state of Israel, whether you agree with it or not…

From the anti-Irish Catholic Know-Nothing Party, to the Asian Exclusion Act, to the internment of people of Japanese ancestry, this country has vacillated on the razor’s edge.
