The Smell of Risk

Hsuan L. Hsu

The Smell of Risk

A timely exploration of how odor seeps into structural inequality Our sense of smell is a uniquely visceral—and personal—form of experience. As Hsuan L. Hsu points out, smell has long been spurned by Western aesthetics as a lesser sense for its qualities of subjectivity, volatility, and materiality. But it is these very qualities that make olfaction a vital tool for sensing and staging environmental risk and inequality. Unlike the other senses, smell extends across space and reaches into our...

Stranger Faces

Namwali Serpell

Stranger Faces

"Serpell’s vital treatise is one readers will find themselves returning to again and again."— Publishers Weekly, Starred Review If evolutionary biologists, ethical philosophers, and social media gurus are to be believed, the face is the basis for what we call «humanity.» The face is considered the source of identity, truth, beauty, authenticity, and empathy. It underlies our ideas about what constitutes a human, how we relate emotionally, what is pleasing to the eye, and how we...

Black Fundamentalists

Daniel R. Bare

Black Fundamentalists

Reveals the role of Black Fundamentalists during the early part of the twentieth century As the modernist-fundamentalist controversy came to a head in the early twentieth century, an image of the “fighting fundamentalist” was imprinted on the American cultural consciousness. To this day, the word “fundamentalist” often conjures the image of a fire-breathing preacher—strident, unyielding in conviction . . . and almost always white. But did this major religious perspective really stop cold in...

Misogynoir Transformed

Moya Bailey

Misogynoir Transformed

Where racism and sexism meet—an understanding of anti-Black misogyny When Moya Bailey first coined the term misogynoir , she defined it as the ways anti-Black and misogynistic representation shape broader ideas about Black women, particularly in visual culture and digital spaces. She had no idea that the term would go viral, touching a cultural nerve and quickly entering into the lexicon. Misogynoir now has its own Wikipedia page and hashtag, and has been featured on Comedy Central’s The Daily...

Urban Life and Local Politics in Roman Bithynia

Through a detailed analysis of the municipal speeches and career of the philosopher-politician Dion Chrysostomos, we gain new in-depth insight into...
