Conditional Whiteness and the Grammar of Belonging
On the eve of the US semiquincentennial, this essay argues that Central and Eastern Europe is indispensable to understanding the racial and civilizational grammars shaping US democracy – past and present. We contend that Eastern and Central Europe should be treated not as peripheral or episodic, but as historically entangled with US nation-making. From early twentieth-century eugenic debates and immigration quotas to contemporary invocations of ‘…
Imperial Screens
This essay investigates the worldly parameters of the Netflix documentary genre. While Netflix on the surface communicates a rhetoric of a truly global vision for media production and circulation, data analysis shows that the documentary genre is still predominantly U.S. American.

Feelings, Fascism, and Futures
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed some of the most glaring inequalities within nations and across the globe. While the disruption caused by the pandemic has given rise to hopes for a cultural reset to address these structures of inequality—captured compellingly by Arundhati Roy in her vision of the pandemic as a portal—the sediments of inequality have proven hard to erode.

Atlantique, spoken in Wolof, explores global and local class inequalities through a romance narrative that foregrounds the lasting effects of colonialism and economic imperialism on Senegal. Despite this distinct national context, …
