Issue 4: Community & Crisis
Our final issue of the year focuses on questions of community, crisis, and the tensions in between.
Dear Readers,
We are delighted to share our final issue of the year with you, following our successful summer edition on Authenticity. The essays in this collection address a variety of topics concerning community and crisis, examined both together and separately, with a focus on questions of education, migration, democracy, international conflict, and more.
As with our previous issues, we’re releasing this one gradually to give you time to sit with each essay. Our first two essays—on the challenges of disarming groups like Hezbollah and Hamas, and the curious history of rescuing American democracy by “authoritarian” means—are now available.
If you value our work, please consider becoming a paid subscriber or making a donation. As an ad-free, independent publication, we rely solely on your support to keep going.
With gratitude,
The Muftah Team
