No More Condescension: What We Can Do Now

By Peter Laarman

…ency who apparently became invisible or even nonexistent to the chattering classes. What I’m going to say about this may be taken ill by many RD readers, but it is fully consistent with what I have written in these pages previously. For more than thirty years, a Democratic Party financed by wealthy globalists focused its energies on issues related to culture liberalism (feminism, multiculturalism, LGBTQ advancement, etc.) while ignoring the devast…

Teach Your Children Well: Challenging Religion-Based Sexism

By Sikivu Hutchinson

…ice program, my partner Diane Arellano and I train our students to lead in-class workshops on the everyday impact of misogynistic language, stereotypes, and media imagery. Students develop critical consciousness about their shared struggle vis-à-vis the stereotype of the sacrificial good black/Latina “woman of faith.” On several occasions our students have been chastised by girls who argued that sexual violence and high rates of HIV/AIDS contracti…

The Morning After in Colorado

By Paul Harvey

…can be mobilized in large numbers. These are mostly not the white working-class voters whose legitimate grievances Evan discusses here, but more middle-class folk clearly fine to accept the mess of Trump porridge. They were not, to the same degree, in 2012, for an explicitly and articulately religious candidate (Mitt Romney). They were, this time, for the candidate who played on the lower frequencies of the white American public. But I live in on…

The World’s Most Influential Yoga Teacher is a Homophobic Right-Wing Activist

By Andrea Jain and Michael Schulson

…and-wellness sector that’s linked to India’s growing, global-facing middle class. The politician to whom he has tied his fortunes, Narendra Modi, is a neoliberal who is trying to accelerate India’s entry into the 21st century capitalist global economy. For all the traditionalism of their rhetoric, these guys are also playing a modern game. This is a very modern, very urban flavor of conservatism. It is not traditional. It thrives on nostalgia abou…

The Collapse of the American Jewish Center

By Sarah Posner

…between them.” Without a solution that ends the occupation and the second-class status of Israel’s Arab citizens, it will be increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to be a liberal Zionist. This tension is slowly but increasingly finding its way into the public discourse via prominent public intellectuals, including journalist Peter Beinart, who led the way with his 2012 book The Crisis of Zionism, warning of drift away from and even hostility…

The Last Debate, Blow by Blow

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…gly so. He looked forward, and reassured us that the long-suffering middle class would always be his primary focus of concern when debating any proposal for rescue or relief. Too much dancing and too little engagement with the issues or each other; this round was a draw. Round Two: The Deficit The current budget realities are sobering: a deficit this year estimated to run anywhere from 455 billion to 1 trillion dollars, and a federal debt currentl…

The Semiotics of Trump: All the Cool Kids Are Doing It

By Gregory Bottoms

When I saw Trump bumper stickers on the backpacks of middle-class white kids in Tidewater, Virginia, I had an inkling—but only an inkling, like a twitchy nighttime fear—that Trump could win. But then no, I told myself, no way. We are not this gullible and self-destructive! Yet those bumper stickers on kids’ backpacks were haunting. I couldn’t shake them. I am an English professor in Vermont, in a liberal college town in arguably the most liberal…

Degrees of Separation

By Amina Wadud

…rohibiting eating and drinking in the prayer area, so we either sit in the classrooms or in the long and wide corridor that wraps around the prayer hall and between the classrooms. The long serving tables are in this corridor and so are the shelves for shoes. In addition, one of the classrooms is supposed to be the nursery during prayer. I remember one of those busy weekends, I could hear the sound of the children playing as I went into sajdah, or…

Are We Seeing the End of the ‘Good Arabs’ in Israel?

By Shaul Magid

…Jewish project of making “Israeli Arabs” work, Israel had to cultivate a “class of collaborators,” individual Arabs who would essentially spy on their neighbors, and even their own families, to provide information about illegal activities, infiltrators, smuggling etc. These collaborators were awarded with preferential treatment by the government such as gun licenses, housing permits, lucrative jobs, and loans. The point more generally was to quel…

Morehouse Men in their Sunday Best

By Jonathan L. Walton

…concedes and conforms to structural racism while exacerbating intraracial classism. This is the main reason I am so uncomfortable with respectability discourse, particularly when it comes to higher education. We must teach emerging leaders that there is a stark difference between respectability and morality, just as we should never confuse preppiness for critical aptitude. Having spent almost a decade around some of the best minds in the Ivy Leag…
