Unsilencing
Winner of the John D. Bell Memorial Book Prize of the Bulgarian Studies AssociationUnsilencing provides the first comprehensive study of Bulgaria's forced-labor camps, a network of repression that operated throughout the communist era from 1945 to 1989. Lilia Topouzova uncovers the hidden histories of these camps, often referred to as Bulgaria's "Little Siberia," where thousands were interned without trial, subjected to inhumane conditions, and silenced for decades.Drawing on two decades of archival research, oral history interviews with survivors and perpetrators, and an array of primary sources, Topouzova reconstructs the harrowing reality of life behind barbed wire. She explores how the communist regime systematically used these camps to suppress dissent, target minority groups, and instill fear across the population. Unsilencing presents detailed accounts of key sites like the Belene and Lovech camps, revealing the brutalities endured by prisoners and the lasting scars these places left on Bulgarian society.More than a historical recounting, Unsilencing examines the post-1989 period and how Bulgaria has grappled--or often failed to grapple--with its recent past. Topouzova assesses the country's efforts at transitional justice, including the short-lived truth commission and trials that sought to hold perpetrators accountable. She argues that the legacy of the gulag has been largely forgotten and deliberately obscured, leaving a vacuum in Bulgaria's collective memory that continues to affect its society and politics today.

Checks and Balances Won’t Save Us Now. What Will?
Amid the brazen attacks of Trump's first 100 days in office, courts have played a leading role in resistance to the authoritarian onslaught.This issue--the first in Boston Review's 50th anniversary year--warns against relying on them to defend democracy and lays out a better response to the crisis we face. Leading a forum, political scientist Lisa L. Miller argues that liberal hopes in checks and balances are badly misplaced. Far from a safeguard of democracy, America's constitutional order has always been at odds with it. Doubling down on it, even at this moment, will only make things worse. Trump does not represent a majority of Americans, Miller stresses. From health care to the minimum wage, most people want much more from government. But time and again, powerful elites exploit the system to block desperately needed reforms and protect the status quo. Too many checks and balances are what got us here, breeding discontent with the system. And only broad-based mass movements can get us beyond it. Forum respondents include historian Lily Geismer, organizers Eric Blanc and Kelly Hayes, journalist Maya Schenwar, sociologist Gianpaolo Baiocchi, and legal scholars Marcus Gadson, Aziz Huq, and Samuel Moyn. Also in the issue, Judith Levine reports on mutual aid as resistance, Troy Nahumko writes from Spain on the global right's war on memory, and Debbie Nathan traces the insidious history of the national security exception fueling Trump's deportation machine. Plus, Benjamin Balthaser examines Jewish dissent from Zionism and American liberalism's identity crisis. Emily Baughan chronicles the demise of Liverpool's working class, a harbinger of workers' obsolescence in the United States and elsewhere. Vietnam veteran and activist David Cortright draws lessons from the antiwar movement for opposing Trumpism. Alex Gourevitch vigorously defends the right to protest on campus. And in a special archival feature for our anniversary year, John Ganz reflects on G. M. Tam獺s's essay "On Post-Fascism," originally published in our Summer 2000 issue--among "the most prescient and insightful political texts," Ganz says, "of the new century."

Murder the Truth
New York Times Bestseller"Authoritarian governments abroad have long used legal threats and lawsuits against journalists to cover up their disinformation, corruption, and violence. Now, as master investigative journalist David Enrich reveals, those tactics have arrived in America." -- Ruth Ben-Ghiat, author of StrongmenDavid Enrich, the New York Times Business Investigations Editor and the #1 bestselling author of Dark Towers, produces his most consequential and far-reaching investigation yet: an in-depth expos矇 of the broad campaign--orchestrated by elite Americans--to silence dissent and protect the powerful.It was a quiet way to announce a revolution: In an obscure 2019 case that the Supreme Court refused to even hear, Justice Clarence Thomas raised the prospect of overturning the legendary New York Times v. Sullivan decision. Though hardly a household name, Sullivan is one of the most consequential free speech decisions, ever. Fundamental to the creation of the modern media as we know it, it has enabled journalists and writers all over the country--from top national publications to revered local newspapers to independent bloggers--to pursue the truth aggressively and hold the wealthy, powerful, and corrupt to account.Thomas's words were a warning--the public awakening of an idea that had been fomenting on the conservative fringe for years. Now it is going mainstream. From the Florida statehouse to small town New Hampshire to Donald Trump's White House, this movement today consists of some of the world's richest and most powerful people and companies, who believe they should be above scrutiny and want to silence or delegitimize voices that challenge their supremacy. Indeed, many of the same businessmen, politicians, lawyers, and activists are already weaponizing the legal system to intimidate and punish journalists and others who dare criticize them.In this masterwork of investigative reporting, David Enrich, New York Times Business Investigations Editor, traces the roots and reach of this growing threat to our modern democracy. With Trump's emboldened right-wing coalition committed to demonizing and punishing those who attempt to hold them accountable, Murder the Truth sounds the alarm about the looming war over facts, laying bare the stakes of losing our most sacrosanct rights. The result is a story about power in the age of Trump--the way it's used by those who have it and the lengths to which they will go to avoid it being questioned.

Beyond Coercion
Beyond Coercion offers a new perspective on mechanisms of social control practiced by authoritarian regimes. Focusing on the Chinese state, Alexsia T. Chan presents an original theory and concept of political atomization, which explains how the state maintains social control and entrenches structural inequality. Chan investigates why migrant workers in China still lack access to urban public services despite national directives to incorporate them into cities, reported worker shortages, and ongoing labor unrest. Through a meticulous analysis of the implementation of policies said to expand workers' rights, she shows how these policies often end up undermining their claims to benefits. The book argues that local governments provide public services for migrants using a process of political individualization, which enables the state to exercise control beyond coercion by atomizing those who might otherwise mobilize against it.

This text explores how the legal history and judicial decisions of the United States contribute to the dynamic societal debates Americans are having around race today. It pairs historical cases and primary sources with contextual commentary to ensure students comprehend how decisions from the past deeply impact the laws they have inherited, as well as shape contemporary issues and political movements. This framework also highlights the distinctive characteristics of the various time periods and how they connect to other eras to provide students with a full appreciation of the events and environments influencing cases. Written in an accessible and engaging style, it avoids the traditional focus of many caselaw books and instead promotes a sound understanding of the legal concepts and dynamics that inform current discussions of racial identities, challenging the usual development of doctrinal law and court decisions defining race. An Instructor Manual is available online, with additional teaching resources and assessment materials for each chapter, to foster meaningful class discussions about future choices and how to pursue a more equal nation.
Ken is Speaking

Over the next two decades, Ken has made his opinion known on a lot of issues, from politics to teleworking to Hollywood's latest flops to the ongoing struggles of a Millenial trying to make sense of himself.Now, for the first time in print, Ken has pulled together the best of his editorials, essays, speeches, blog posts, and tweets, to capture his opinionated voice from the last twenty years. In it, you'll find an unintentionally witty, self-deprecating, scathing indictment of the problems in today's politics and culture.** All author royalties from the sale of this book will be donated to the Epilepsy Foundation. **
