To commence Season 4, Michael Dawson invited Adom Getachew (University of Chicago) and Quinn Slobodian (Wellesley College) to speak about the discourse on nationalism. They discuss a recent issue of Dissent magazine, in which Getachew and Slobodian were both contributors, What is the Nation Good For? to start the conversation. They talk about the relationship between nationalism and populism; immigration politics; and more, including their recently published books Worldmaking After Empire (Getachew) and Globalists (Slobodian).
Works by the guests:
Adom Getachew, Worldmaking After Empire: The Rise and Fall of Self-Determination
Quinn Slobodian, Globalists: The End of Empire and the Birth of Neoliberalism
