Presidents and Pests, Cosmopolitans and Communists

Presidents and Pests, Cosmopolitans and Communists brings together a set of essays that place marginal events, pests, politicians, and the country’s backwater at the center of national politics. It does so through methodologies learned from idiosyncratic mentors who valued the analytical power of negative comparisons, jocose asides, and wry academic humor.
