John's <a href="https://www.publicbooks.org/lying-in-politics-hannah-arendts-antidote-to-anticipatory-despair/">“</a><a href="https://www.publicbooks.org/arendts-refugee-politics/">Arendt's Refugee Politics</a><a href="https://www.publicbooks.org/lying-in-politics-hannah-arendts-antidote-to-anticipatory-despair/">”</a> came out in Public Books in early November. He made the case that his favorite political philosopher, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Arendt">Hannah Arendt</a> is an opponent both of identity politics and also of a cosmpolitan universalism that is blind to all the differences (of race, gender, belief) that make us who though not what we are. Going back to one of the first pieces she published in English, a 1943 essay from Menorah called "<a href="https://amroali.com/2017/04/refugees-essay-hannah-arendt/">We Refugees</a>", he reflected on how amazingly Arendt was able to air her unease about militant Zionism at the same time she warned fellow arrivals in America from rushing to disguise their origins.
<a href="http://recallthisbook.org/">Recall this Book</a> 153 is simply John reading the article aloud. It is an experiment (akin to <a href="https://recallthisbook.org/books-in-dark-times/">Books in Dark Times</a> and <a href="https://recallthisbook.org/?s=recall+this+story">Recall This Story</a> and <a href="https://recallthisbook.org/recall-this-b-side/">Recall This B-Side</a>) in soliloquy. You can consult footnotes and a read a transcript by heading back to the article in<a href="https://www.publicbooks.org/arendts-refugee-politics/"> its original form here</a>.
