Baffler #19 (cover art to your left), the first from editor in chief John Summers, features original salvos by founding editor Thomas Frank, Rick Perlstein, Barbara Ehrenreich, and David Graeber (“Of Flying Cars and the Declining Rate of Profit”); fiction by Ludmilla Petrushevskaya and Kim Stanley Robinson; poetry by Geoffrey Hill, Laura Riding, Charles Bernstein, and Peter Gizzi; satirical art by Peter Arkle, Mark Dancey, Steve Brodner; and a new column by senior editor Chris Lehmann, The Dollar Debauch. To top it off, the issue offers the first look in seventy-six years of the original Fortune article that James Agee wrote on tenant farmers in Alabama. The article, written in 1936, has never been published before (announced last fall in the Times’ letter section, here.)

S-USIH Comment Policy
We ask that those who participate in the discussions generated in the Comments section do so with the same decorum as they would in any other academic setting or context. Since the USIH bloggers write under our real names, we would prefer that our commenters also identify themselves by their real name. As our primary goal is to stimulate and engage in fruitful and productive discussion, ad hominem attacks (personal or professional), unnecessary insults, and/or mean-spiritedness have no place in the USIH Blog’s Comments section. Therefore, we reserve the right to remove any comments that contain any of the above and/or are not intended to further the discussion of the topic of the post. We welcome suggestions for corrections to any of our posts. As the official blog of the Society of US Intellectual History, we hope to foster a diverse community of scholars and readers who engage with one another in discussions of US intellectual history, broadly understood.
You’ll regret it if you don’t buy a subscription! My last issue was awesome.
