MICHEL DE MONTAIGNE
Philippe Desan, Montaigne: A Life, translated from the French by Rendall Neal & Lisa Neal (Princeton & Oxford: Princeton U. Press, 2014, 2017) ("We have argued that the author of the Essais of 1580 was situated in a tradition of memoir-writers more than he was already a true essayist. Montaigne conceived his book and his career in direct relation to current history. Thus the reading of historians was essential in preparing Montaigne for the political and diplomatic responsibilities he envisioned. It was during this period of reflection on the subject matter of history and on historical thought that Montaigne wrote many passages in which he asserts that 'History is more my quarry,' or again 'the historians are the true quarry of my study.' The inventory of Montaigne's shows a pronounced taste for historical works." Id. at 580.).
Michel de Montaigne, The Complete Essays of Montaigne, translated from the French by Donald M. Frame (Stanford: Stanford U. Press, 1958) ("I do not share that common error of judging another by myself. I easily believe that another man may have qualities different from mine. Because I feel myself tied down to one form, I do not oblige everybody to espouse it, as all others do. I believe in and conceive a thousand contrary ways of life, and in contrast with the common run of men, I more easily admit difference than resemblance between us. I am as ready as you please to acquit another man from sharing my conditions and principles. I consider him simply in himself, without relation to others; I mold him to his own model. I do not fail, just because I am not continent, to acknowledge sincerely the continence of the Feuillants and the Capuchins, and to admire the manner of their life. I can very well insinuate myself by imagination into their place, and I love and honor them all the more because they are different from me. I have a singular desire that we should each be judged in ourselves apart, and that I may not be measured in conformity with the common patterns" Id. at 169.).

Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil / On the Genealogy of Morality (The Complete Works of Friedrich Nietzsche: Volume 8), translated from the German, with an Afterword, by Adrian Del Caro (Stanford: CA: Stanford U. Press, 2014) (From "On the Genealogy of Morality": "We simply cannot conceal from ourselves what that entire willing that draws its direction from the ascetic ideal actually expresses: this hatred of the human, even more of the animal, even more of the material, this abhorrence of the senses, of reason itself, this fear of happiness and beauty, this longing to get beyond all appearance, change, becoming, death, desire, longing itself--all of this means, let us dare to grasp it, a will to nothingness, a counterwill against life, a rejection of the most fundamental presuppositions of life, but it is and remains a will! . . . And, to say once more at the end what I said at the beginning: humanity would rather will nothingness than not will . . . " Id. at 349.).

Alquizola & Lane Ryo Hirabayashi, and an introduction by Carey McWilliams (Seattle & London: University of Washington Press, 1946, 1973, 2014). From Carry McWilliam's "Introduction":
'It is hard to be a Filipino in California,' a countryman sadly warned Carlos Bulosan shortly after his arrival in Seattle from the Philippines. But Carlos, of course, had to find this out for himself. 'I came to know afterwards,' he wrote, 'that in many ways it was a crime to be a Filipino in California' (p. 131). That says it about as succinctly and accurately as it can be said. America Is in the Heart is a deeply moving account of what it is like to be treated as a criminal in a strange and alien society--one to which the immigrant has been drawn precisely because of the attraction of its ideals. 'I know deep in my heart,' he wrote, 'that I am an exile in America . . . I feel like a criminal running aways from a crime I did not commit. And this crime is that I am a Filipino in America.'Id. at vii. One should contemplate the parallels to certain immigrants in twenty-first-century America. Food for thought.
Elena Tajima Creef, Imagining Japanese America: The Visual Construction of Citizenship, Nation, and the Body (New York & London: New York University Press, 2004). From the back cover:
As we have been reminded by the renewed acceptance of racial profiling, and the detention and deportation of hundreds of immigrants of Arab and Muslim descent on unknown charges following September 11, in times of national crisis we take refuge in the usual construction of citizenship in order to imagine ourselves as part of larger cohesive national community.Neda Maghbouleh, The Limits of Whiteness: Iranian Americans and the Everyday Politics of Race (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2017):
Beginning with another moment ff national historical trauma--December 7, 1941, and the interment of 120,000 Japanese Americans--Imagining Japanese America unearths stunning and seldom-seen photographs of Japanese Americans by the likes of Dorothea Lange, Ansel Adams, and Yoyo Miyatake . . . [Creef] then traces the ways in which contemporary representations of Japanese Americans in popular culture are inflected by the politics of historical memory from World War II, Creef closes with a look at the representation of the multicultural Japanese American body at the turn of the millennium.
In this book I reveal how race and racism organize Iranian American lives and show that for liminal racial groups, whiteness is fickle and volatile--and, more, often than not, revoked in the mundane and ordinary interactions that make up the everyday politics of race. In contradiction to their official federal classification and the expectations of sociologists that in the second generation identities should melt away, Iranian American youth regularly feel skepticism and dissatisfaction with assimilation as a desirable--or even possible--cultural and psycho-social process and whiteness as a meaningful and reflective category that describes their live. In this way, second-generation Iranian Americans understand their status across a wide range of localities as more closely resembling that of other liminally radicalized non-white groups. Whether their preferred racial identity is 'brown' or 'West Asian' or "Middle Eastern' or 'other,' in a world of cowboys and Iranians, Iranian American youth are experts at navigating life at the limits of whiteness.Id. at 13.

John Okada, No-No Boy: A Novel (Classics of Asian American Literature), with foreword by Ruth Oozes, introduction by Lawson Fusao Inada, and afterword by Frank Chin (Seattle & London: University of Washington Press, 1976, 2014). From the "Introduction":
I knew that the War Department required Nisei males like Ichiro to fill out a questionnaire and answer two 'loyalty' questions:Id. at x-xi.
No. 27 Are you willing to serve in the armed forces of the United States on combat duty, wherever ordered?
No. 28 Will you swear unqualified allegiance the the United States of America and faithfully defend the United States from any or all attack by foreign or domestic forces, and forswear any form of allegiance or obedience to the Japanese emperor, or any other foreign government, power, or organization?
But I didn't know that while many of the young men answer yes-yes to these two questions, some, like Ichiro, did not . . .
And I didn't know that those who refused, the boys who answered no-no, were found guilty of draft evasion, arrested, and taken first to jail and then to a maximum security segregated detention facility for the final years of the war.

OCCULT, SCIENCE . . . MODERNITY
Paul Kleber Monod, Solomon's Secret Arts: The Occult in the Age of Enlightenment (New Haven & London: Yale U. Press, 2013) ("Perhaps the single most important point be derived from this discussion is that the occult was not killed off by science or the Enlightenment. On the contrary, it coexisted with them, borrowed from them and was rarely the object of attacks from scientific or enlightened writers. In turn, this suggests something about what can be called modernity--an ideologically charged concept, to be sure, but one that forces itself into any discussion of change over the past four centuries. Modernity is a prescriptive concept, not a descriptive one: it tells us what we should be, not necessarily what we are, or even what we have been in the past. To be modern has come to mean embracing the scientific revolution and the Enlightenment, while casting aside magic and 'superstition.' Yet this is not what many people did in late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century England or Scotland--on the contrary, they were able to retain both points of view, scientific and occult, atlas in some measure. In Scotland, to be sure, the Enlightenment did eventually shake off the occult, but that did not happen in England, or in Germany or France, for that matter. The Scottish case was exceptional, and can be ascribed to a century of determined Presbyterian denunciation of anything occult as diabolical. Id. at 346.).

Clint Watts, Messing with the Enemy: Surviving in a Social Media World of Hackers, Terrorists, Russians, and Fake News (New York: Harper, 2018):
Social media users must understand when crowds are smart and when they're dumb in order to know when clickbait populism moves society in a positive or negate direction. Crowds do well when they provide feedback on things they've actually experienced, when they are diverse in their perspective and opinions, independent in their thoughts, and decentralized in their gathering knowledge--everything today's preference bubbles are not. Clickbait populism, social media nationalism, and disregard for expertise make preference bubbles collectively dumb, particularly when they assess complex problems like war and peace in the Middle East, highly specialized disciplines like research on autism or climate change, and future-focused strategies and policies of which they have no EOA. When so social media preference bubbles herding under these conditions, I look for outliers, those individuals brave enough, as Tocqueville wrote, to challenge the tyranny of the majority.Id. at 260. In short: "Democracy dies in preference bubbles . . . We all increasingly live in places where we walk like, talk like, and look like one another." Id. at 240.
