Thanks for this great review of my book from @psrjournal.bsky.social! "The book’s most significant achievement is conceptual. 'Apocalyptic authoritarianism' is a genuinely original category that names something real about the convergence of crisis communication and reactionary politics."

"When scholars from historically excluded groups entered the academy in significant numbers they did not simply add new faces to existing conversations. They expanded the conversations themselves. They introduced new questions new archives new methods and new frameworks for understanding the world."

"We explore how common sense and popular will ('the will of the people') are constructed to defend certain ideas. This is not an exercise in pointing the finger at particular culprits, but, rather, an in-depth exploration of how power is constructed through processes and narratives."

It’s so damaging when (usually rich & white) folks suddenly have a “climate awakening”, claim expertise after reading a few reports, malign the work of those of us who have actually been in the thick of it their entire lives, & then eventually get bored & move onto "solving" the next "global issue"

Very disheartening when, in this heightened moment of anti-intellectualism, media darlings who position themselves as "on the left" mine (i.e. take) academic research w/o citing or uplifting the researchers themselves & legitimize this as necessary b/c the researchers' writing is "too academic"

In Apocalyptic Authoritarianism, I also show how there is an apocalypse-infused & authoritarian-aligned nostalgia among traditional figures of power who long for a return to an imagined "golden age" of postwar America, understood to be before the Civil Rights & pro-democracy movements of the 1960s
