Christine Hong’s 'A Violent Peace' examines local and global democratization projects and the many ways that postwar US military tactics and strategies functioned to suppress both counterrevolutionaries abroad in Asia and Black radicals at home in the US. Through literary and visual analyses of works by Ralph Ellison, Ōe Kenzaburō, Miné Okubo, Carlos Bulosan, James Baldwin, and W. E. B. Du Bois, Hong questions how to navigate US post-World War II policies that claim a period of democratized "peace" and racial integration while simultaneously dehumanizing "foreign" bodies through military tactics that police cultural and political belonging.

With 'Dear Science and Other Stories,' Katherine McKittrick does the work of liberation and enacts new ways of being. Building on her previous studies, this collection engages in a story-sharing, collaborative praxis that emerges from a "black sense of place." McKittrick's Black and anti-colonial methodologies are "rebellious," "relational, intertextual, and interdisciplinary"—thereby "breaching" the "recursive," "self-replicating" logics of "our present order of knowledge" (44, 2, 23, 163). 'Dear Science' invents, reinvents, and reimagines "being human as praxis" through an aesthetic practice of deciphering theoretical texts, photographs, sounds, dance, and song (159). Illustrating her commitment to Black intellectual life, McKittrick writes, listens, and feels in communion with other creatives. In so doing, McKittrick skillfully bursts open the gatekeeping conventions that limit thought, and challenges readers to question what they think they know.
凯瑟琳·麦基特里克(Katherine McKittrick)在《亲爱的科学和其他故事》(Dear Science and Other Stories)一书中解放了人类,创造了新的存在方式。在她之前的研究的基础上,这个系列参与了一个故事分享,协作实践,从“黑人的地方感”中出现。麦基特里克的黑人和反殖民方法论是“反叛的”、“关系的、互文的和跨学科的”——因此“打破”了“我们目前的知识秩序”的“递归的”、“自我复制的”逻辑(44,2,23,163)。“亲爱的科学”通过解读理论文本、照片、声音、舞蹈和歌曲的美学实践,发明、重新发明和重新想象“作为实践的人”(159)。麦基特里克通过写作、倾听和感受与其他创意人士的交流,展现了她对黑人知识分子生活的承诺。在这样做的过程中,麦基特里克巧妙地打破了限制思想的守门人惯例,并挑战读者质疑他们自以为知道的东西。

This review examines Wazhmah Osman’s book 'Television and the Afghan Culture Wars,' an ethnographic study of television media in Afghanistan. The book explores the Afghan mediascape through richly detailed interviews with media industry professionals and local Afghans, which provide a realist portrayal of the perils and triumphs of media houses in Afghanistan, local cultural contestations, changing gender norms, and the role and reception of television in the nation’s rather tumultuous political and cultural life. Osman deflates the dominant notion in Western discourses of Afghanistan as a "hopeless landscape of powerless people," (2) arguing that there is a thriving, internationally backed media infrastructure and a hopeful, culturally conscious citizenry in the nation. She argues that despite Afghanistan's history of violence, ethnic tensions, atrocities against women, and imperialistic agendas by foreign powers, the Afghan media sector is a widely accessible platform for retribution against years of underdevelopment and war, with "the potential to underwrite democracy, national integration, and peace" (3).
