Whoa, Adam Tooze cited my review of the Palantir book in Boston Review at length in his latest Chartbook!

My review essay in Boston Review on several new books by Jewish critics of Zionism. Rather than pose the ineffable question of why do (many) Jews oppose Zionism, I asked: what is, perhaps what was, American Jewish liberalism & how is it called upon to speak at this conjuncture?

Spain as a case study of the global right’s war on memory.. Very well written, as so many articles in the Boston Review. "With these new lords, the word “memory” itself becomes suspect."

“Franco died peacefully in his bed clutching the mummified hand of Saint Teresa—not at the end of a rope or before a tribunal, but swaddled in power to the very last breath. Fascism in Spain was not defeated. It simply ran out of time.” bostonreview.net/articles/kill-…
