The Externalist Blog Relocated

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

The Externalist’s blog has been relocated to the new web site at http://www.theexternalist.com.  I’ll be moving old posts from this blog over to the new site to retain the historical record and this blog will come down on September 1st.  In the meantime, all new posts will be placed on the new blog–and we’ve added two additional blogs as well!  See you there!

Book Recommendation 7/8/09: Barbara Ehrenreich

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Barbara Ehrenreich took two years of working minimum wage jobs in order to write the book Nickel & DimedThis book comments on a little of everything, but mostly is a unique look into the world of the American class system.  Spanning the full range of emotions from laughter to anger, it is virtually guaranteed to elicit a response.

We’re Back, but…

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

The blog was down for a couple of weeks due to computer maintenance.  Apologies for that–we’re back now!   BUT, The Externalist is going to be coming down for a few days later this week for site maintenance and a full redesign.  This might or might not affect the blog while the site is down, but will definitely affect the blog once the site comes back up.  The new site will have closer alignment with this general blog as well as blogs by both editors.  This is part of a significant change in the direction of The Externalist; however, our vision and mission remains the same: to publish and promote the most socially significant literature possible.  Thanks so much for your continued support!
