Axis of Evil or Access to Diesel? Reflections on the Iraq War - Progress in Political Economy (PPE) Did the Iraq war simply reflect the unitary decision by the U.S. state to assert its interests in the global political economy or was it the result of co-operation by a group of allied capitalist coun...

With the resuscitation of the “axis of evil” trope, here’s a trip down memory lane with @abieler.bsky.social on “bomb & build” imperialism

I also like that the novels have good slow incubation.

Yes a wonderfully successful novel. Perhaps Esther Born as the next focus for @jfkane.bsky.social ? 😍
Photographer in the 1930s travelled to Mexico and captured photos of rural and urban space, especially Art Deco Mexico City. Unique at that time, I think.

Also is the postcard with an aerial view of Alameda Zaragoza in Saltillo (page 236 in the novel) a real photo postcard (RPPC) or fictional? 3/3

@jfkane.bsky.social
You mention in an interview with Literary Hub, drawing from old guidebooks, maps, an old Baedeker’s for research on 1950s Saltillo. Can you offer in a thread what these sources are? What maps, guidebooks, or the specific copy of Baedeker? 2/

Reading Gramsci: Interpretation, appropriation or negotiation? - Adam David Morton, 2012

With a link to my Capital & Class article that pursues the distinction between the three

‘The time of monsters’: everyone is quoting Gramsci – but what did he actually say? Line handily sums up people’s bewilderment at state of world, but it isn’t quite what the Marxist thinker wrote
