Weekly Roundup - 11/04/24

This week: In an essay in our recent Florida issue, the owners of the radical Miami bookstore Paradis reflect on its promising beginnings and its painful closure.

In the latest episode of the On the Nose podcast, news editor Aparna Gopalan speaks with associate editor Mari Cohen, New Yorker contributing writer E. Tammy Kim, and Savera coalition activist Prachi Patankar about how the Hindu American Foundation and the Asian American Foundation have capitalized on the conservative model of anti-racism pioneered by the Anti-Defamation League.

Ahead of the presidential election this week, we are sharing our chevruta column from earlier this year in which contributing writer Raphael Magarik and political strategist Rania Batrice discuss the ethics and strategy of voting in the US election amidst the genocide in Gaza. And following Israel’s decision to ban the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) last week, we are sending editor-at-large Peter Beinart’s piece from February on the meaning behind attacks on the group that serves Palestinian refugees.
