Now available in paperback: Congratulations to Michael Morey, whose book FAGEN is out in paperback today! Learn more here: uwpress.wisc.edu/Books/F/Fagen3
At top, a banner reads "Now available in paperback!" On the left, a photo of the cover of FAGEN. At the bottom, the University of Wisconsin Press logo. And on the right, a quote from a review of the book: “This solid historiographical grounding in issues of race and empire, along with its framing around a magnetic but ultimately still mysterious figure, make Fagen a good choice for classroom use. . . . A book of this sort is needed, as it covers the Spanish-American War, late nineteenth-century U.S. empire and race relations, and the intermixing of domestic life and foreign policy.” — The Historian At top, a photo of the cover of FAGEN. At the bottom, the University of Wisconsin Press logo. In the middle, two blurbs: "With dedicated sleuthing, informed speculation, and gifted storytelling style, Morey sheds new light on David Fagen, an African American insurgent against U.S. colonialism, who has long remained as elusive to historians as he was to the American soldiers that chased him through Philippine forests over a century ago." — Paul Kramer, author of The Blood of Government: Race, Empire, the United States, and the Philippines "A model for how to take a mythic figure, about whom very little documentation exists, and successfully transform him into a living, breathing man whose life is a window to understanding the meaning of race, war, and masculinity in American society." — Jennifer D. Keene, author of Doughboys, the Great War, and the Remaking of America

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

Trump hands Musk the state’s gears. DOGE slashes jobs, leaks data, pries into taxes. Power privatized, accountability gutted. Cost-cutting masks control. Each day, dictatorship creeps in. American democracy is under siege by a criminal mafia.
The political cartoon depicts a guillotine labeled “DOGE,” symbolizing Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. A worried figure labeled “Government” stands under the blade, while a smiling figure labeled “Musk,” resembling Elon Musk, holds the rope to trigger the guillotine. Musk says, “Don’t worry – I won’t feel a thing!” The scene takes place in front of the White House and the Washington Monument, with a crowd watching, symbolizing public scrutiny. The cartoon critiques Musk’s power over government institutions and the potential destruction of public services under the guise of efficiency reforms.

Billionaires buy power, rig systems, and walk free after crimes that would destroy ordinary lives. It’s time to expose their impunity and demand accountability.
