Talk Traditions of the Brahmin Left - Dissent Magazine Outclassed is a monument to the very elitism it seeks to challenge.

"At turns banal, well-meaning, and thoroughly off-putting, Outclassed is a monument to the very elitism it seeks to challenge."

In our latest issue, Sean T. Byrnes reviews Outclassed by Joan C. Williams.

Disunited Nations Disunited Nations explores American reactions to hostile world opinion, as voiced in the United Nations by representatives of the Global South from 1970 to 1...

It’s a great list – but I also can’t help but shamelessly self-promote! lsupress.org/978080717528... I think would fit in great here!

Letting the World Scream The U.S., Nicaragua, and the International Court of Justice in the 1980s.

Nicaragua filed charges against the U.S. at the Intl. Court of Justice #OTD in 1985 for violating international law by forcibly disrupting trade, violating its airspace, and fomenting a coup. @sby10.bsky.social wrote @myhnn.bsky.social on the U.S.'s hypocritical response: loom.ly/Wfw525E

Really appreciated the detailed and generous review of Disunited Nations in the current issue of Reviews in American History. Check it out here: muse.jhu.edu/article/948359 (not that the relationship of American exceptionalism and modern conservatism are particularly relevant right now or anything).

If you want to understand Trump's Panama Canal stuff, I recommend:
Adam Clymer, Drawing the Line at the Big Ditch (University of Kansas Press, 2008)
Sean T. Byrnes (@sby10.bsky.social), Disunited Nations: US Foreign Policy, Anti-Americanism, and the Rise of the New Right (LSU Press, 2021)

Appreciate the nod, Sam! Really didn’t have β€œthe Panama Canal parts will become super relevant” on my bingo card to be honest.
