Open Access is key to opposing fascism, example 4,381: A writer posted this article, which is a useful study of Christian Nationalism and pronatalism. If you don't have institutional access, you will have to pay Wiley, who own & control it.

Available for preorder, Aesthetic Impropriety: Property Law and Postcolonial Style is out from Fordham on 7/1/25.
