Unbelievable Tracy Chapman show just preserved by the Aadam Jacobs Collection project.
In case you missed it, @m-r-glass.bsky.social answered questions about his book CRACKED FOUNDATIONS in an AMA on the @askhistorians.bsky.social subreddit yesterday! Read through the thread to learn more about how the suburban American Dream was unstable from the beginning https://bit.ly/4aNj2o0
This has been fun! Come check out the chatter about the suburbs!
This afternoon! Would love to see you there. 😉
I'm looking forward to this Zoom book event next week with @marksouther.bsky.social and @benchansfield.bsky.social. Would love to see some of you there!

Another excerpt of my @pennpress.bsky.social book was published today in the magazine FINANCIAL HISTORY. In this part I try to expand the redlining story to include the full range of unconventional and predatory mortgage lending.

Thanks for listening!!
I wrote about a conference marking the culmination of tens of millions of dollars of philanthropic spending to transcend neoliberalism. lpeproject.org/blog/post-ne...
Book cover of “cracked foundations: debt and inequality in suburban America”
Look what just showed up @m-r-glass.bsky.social !
Wow, thanks for checking it out. Hope you enjoy it!!!
Key to many of Mamdani’s proposals is immediacy: While new development can take years to happen and even longer to alter market dynamics, programs like a rent freeze for rent-stabilized tenants, or even property tax reform, can be felt as soon as passed.

LISTEN: @m-r-glass.bsky.social discusses his new book CRACKED FOUNDATIONS, which reveals how debt financing "left midcentury suburbs unstable, unequal, and racially segregated," in an interview on the Who Makes Cents podcast! apple.co/48Rv7qa
Mike’s book, as that interview shows, will change a lot of what you think you know about postwar suburbs.

New interview! Andrew Anastasi and I discuss the emotional logic of insurance and how racial capitalism is being misconstrued in the present -- as made manifest in some reviews of my book. Grateful for this partnership between @hpe-project.bsky.social and @lpeblog.bsky.social!
Thanks, @kevinmkruse.bsky.social! And @dygottlieb.bsky.social for the conversation on Who Makes Cents. It was lots of fun to chat about the 'burbs!!!
Thanks @kevinmkruse.bsky.social!
My enthusiasm was no put-on--the book is just that fantastic and field-shifting. Congrats, @m-r-glass.bsky.social
Really enjoyed doing this interview with highlights from my @pennpress.bsky.social book. Come for the frailties of the postwar "suburban dream," stay for my critique of "abundance." 😉
40% off!!!
Monday night!
I wrote an essay for @bostonreview.bsky.social about what I learned about close reading when I taught at West Virginia University

Screenshot of NYT citation of Born in Flames: "This elegant book dismantles conventional wisdom regarding the fires that ravaged the Bronx and other communities of color in the 1970s. Ansfield shows that most of these fires, which have always been blamed on tenants, were in fact set by landlords; racist housing and insurance practices made it more profitable to burn buildings than to rent them."
In disbelief. The NYT named Born in Flames one of 100 Notable Books of 2025
Getting closer to this online book event with the Gotham Center on 12/1! Registration here: www.eventbrite.com/e/cracked-fo...
My guy Pedro Regalado quoted in this @nytimes.com piece on bodegas, the treasure of every NYC neighborhood. Keep an eye out for his book next year!!

“Deporting immigrants to make room for “real” Americans is therefore both about a belief that only certain types of people can be American in the first place and a demand that these authentic Americans be provided an array of nostalgic comforts through government largess.”
Excellent analysis of the fiscal challenges -- and opportunities -- awaiting Mamdani.
