Will Trump 2.0 Play Tougher on Nicaragua’s Dictatorship? Thrilled to see my article with Antonio Monte featured in @AmerQuarterly's website as the leading story. Thank you for reading and sharing! americasquarterly.org/article/will-t…

In his video essay “Visualizing Resilience from the Periphery” and textual essay “Setting History in Motion,” @DanMcDonaldDM explores the central role of the visual in social resistance in late 20th century Brazil during the civil-military dictatorship. academic.oup.com/ahr/article/12…

Thanks to @OUPAcademic, the article and video essay are open-access, so please do share with anyone who might be interested. But the biggest thanks goes to @katmcd_ whose incredible skill and patience made the video essay possible. 4/4

The video essay traces a meta-narrative culminating in open street protest by agglomerating images dispersed among a vast archive of pamphlets, flyers, and other movement materials. To do so, the essay employs a visual method of argumentation derived from Urban Intermedia 3/4

Excited to share my combined article and video essay in the Dec. 2024 issue of the @AmHistReview on the "Histories of Resilience"! academic.oup.com/ahr/article/12… 1/4
