By 1880, a third of the women living in New England and the Mid-Atlantic hadn’t gotten married by their thirtieth birthday. There was an estimated surplus of 60,000 single women in Massachusetts alone.

By Peter Schwartz

…existence,” isn’t modeled on ancient traditions. It is a descendant of the East-Central European nationalist ideas and movements from the last two centuries. Indeed, under these conditions, during World War II, the Hungarian regime, in a matter of months, delivered nearly 450,000 Jewish Hungarians to Auschwitz, more than half of the Hungarian Jewish population. When amoral Donald Trump unwittingly deployed his various uses of the term human dignit…

Taqwacore Roundtable: On Punks, the Media, and the Meaning of “Muslim”

By Shahjehan Khan

…ing the Dead Bhuttos, and the rush to put a single online was to show, at least cosmetically, that Pakistan was as capable of putting out punk rock as Turkey, Malaysia, Japan, and Lebanon. The USA is good to sell obscure Malaysian and Japanese records in, but it’s not a good place to play this kind of music. We’d do much better in South Eastern Asia, which yes, we get a lot of traffic from online. Tons of people from Singapore, Malaysia, and Indon…

By Paul Harvey

…ve concealed evidence that American captives are being held alive in South-East Asia.” Trump may have claimed to valorize those who “weren’t captured” just a year ago, but his appearance at the mall on behalf of those who supposedly have been captured and never released marks another milestone in the un-reality show of the campaign.

Barber’s activism is grounded in a rich historical memory, as demonstrated in his new book The Third Reconstruction and the accompanying interview here on RD.

…techniques, but his yoga was still a countercultural practice to say the least. Modern yoga had quite a long way to go before it would undergo popularization. All this, and yet Bardach writes about Vivekananda as though he reflected something mainstream in American culture: “His prescription for life was simple, and perfectly American: ‘work and worship.’” And she claims that Vivekananda’s popularity waned because America’s “baby boomers commande…

By Peter Montgomery

…try, caught up in anti-LGBT crackdowns that have rippled across the Middle East in recent years.” Even though the UN High Commissioner for Refugees “fast-tracks LGBT refugees for resettlement because it considers them especially vulnerable,” but most will still “have to wait about two years for a ticket out of Turkey.” But to an individual, those two years can feel like an eternity. Refugees are generally barred from working and often survive doin…

By Frederick Clarkson

…to RD about this new role as he and his American Episcopalian guides drove East from Denver to Louisiana, up through South Carolina to Washington DC. ______________________ RD: A number of American human rights experts have said that the killing and forced displacement of the Ngok Dinka people from Abyei in May, and their replacement by the Arab, northern-aligned Misseriya, constitutes “ethnic cleansing.” Is ethnic cleansing part of what is happe…
