This frustrates the hell out of me. Differences between first and second imprint. Then different book sizes within the second imprint (volume two is smaller in height) and then different font sizes on the spine for the completed trilogy (with volume three). Agggh! @dukepress.bsky.social

What a brilliant read this was with its focus, from the Vermont landscape to the wider American west of the twentieth-century, on the inequality and dispossession of capitalism. The hell scape appears “crimson as the landscape seen through the red cellophane strip on cigarette packs”.

From my research on the Monument to the Revolution, here are four postage stamps. My assumption was that there was just one, the far right one from 1934. But here are more. My favorite is the far left one on the XVI International Congress of Planning & Housing (1938). More here👇🏽

This table is largely from Mike Davis *Ecology of Fear* from @versobooks.bsky.social
But I’ve put together a thumbnail comparison on the last two lines with 1) the cost of the 2025 Palisades Fire and 2) the 2020 Black Summer in Australia. Look at the magnitude of territory and death.

Four linked questions about the wonderful book *The Restless Dead* by @criveragarza.bsky.social. Drawing inspiration from her text:
1) What other authors might be disappropriationist at heart, which have passed through Latin America but without having been born there? 1/3 @isanchezprado.bsky.social

Many thanks for reading!
I once witnessed a marriage proposal from the mirador of the Monument. This postcard best captures (on the right) what would be the offices of the Dirección Federal de Seguridad (DFS) that was a clandestine detention centre during the “dirty war” of state terror in Mexico.

This photo captures a similar aspect and period. The low rise building on the right is now a vocational training institute, rather than detention centre.

Although poor in quality, this postcard captures what would become the offices of the Dirección Federal de Seguridad (DFS) that was a clandestine detention centre during the “dirty war” of state terror in Mexico (the low-rise edifice on the right) on Plaza de la República #20.
