A view from the peer review trenches (pls turn in your reviews)
screenshot of a spreadsheet showing that, out of 12 books out for review, 9 of them have only 1 out of 2 reviews turned in, even though many have deadlines that have passed in June, August, or September

we’ve made it (featured in NYC graffiti)
a subway ad featuring a cell phone, where someone has placed a piece of paper with a drawing. It says ‘Conbo sez: if you wanna cry…join Blue Sky!’ over a blue butterfly with the word social in parenthesis next to it. Below the text are two figures. One has long hair and boobs and is frowning and labeled ‘loser’ with an arrow pointing saying ‘you.’ She is saying, “me hate Trumpy Trump and me tell world!”. across from her is a smiling figure with a red headdress pointing at her holding a knife labeled ‘knife.’ An arrow identifies him as Conbo. He is saying ‘Lick my butt.’

Excited to be the publisher of @dbgreenwald.bsky.social’s first book, a study of local governance in Palestine ft. fieldwork in the West Bank, out this month. Much credit due, of course, to @abuaardvark.bsky.social & his always excellent Columbia Studies in Middle East Politics series.
the book Mayors in the Middle by Diana Greenwald. It has a green cover with a photo of a local politician. The book is on a counter next to a glass globe, a pink painting of a beach in haiti, and a carved round wooden box featuring a house in Poland
