It is, they write, “full of sharp, heart-rending thoughts about growing up black in the United States, and his fraught relationship with his body — Laymon’s weight has severely fluctuated over the years, a subject he plumbs with great sensitivity.

On July 25, the New York Times published an op-ed by Quinn Slobodian and Alexander Kentikelenis on the same topic as Prof. Slobodian’s forthcoming book HOW TO BREAK THE WORLD. “Right-wing economic nationalists speak of increasing the welfare of ‘their’ people,” Slobodian writes, “but they do so by scapegoating outsiders and turning a blind eye to — if not actively supporting — the very machinery that has helped produce domestic inequality.
