“This book…serves as an important reminder that geography…has a responsibility and ethical imperative to use the scope of its resources…to serve the needs of all its members and protect those who are most marginal and at risk of being silenced.”

The history of cricket is tied to colonialism, culture, and domestic and international politics. Test cricket is “the most conservative form of the most conservative sport.” Check out Dominic Malcolm’s review of Tim Wigmore’s new book in the AAG Review of Books.

Crisis between the Ordinary and Eventful: Housing, Material Conditions, and Everyday Urbanism
In many cities, crisis isn’t rupture—it’s everyday life.
Evictions, debt, precarity, housing struggles.
But also repair, care, solidarity.

It seems timely that the AAG Review of Books just published a review of Who Is Government? ed. by Michael Lewis. Many public servants cope with employment uncertainty and hostile agency heads, but they are also dedicated people committed to American excellence.

Review of The Black Tax now in the AAG Review of Books
The power to tax is intertwined with the origin of the US. Founding documents proclaimed that governments were instituted to secure life, liberty, and property. What happens when that promise goes wrong?
