  Why can't we talk about antisemitism? 
   
   
   
  As claims of antisemitism continue to distort our politics at home and abroad, it has become almost impossible to talk about constructively, even in private. Instead, we find ourselves in a storm of misinformation, political mudslinging, and bad-faith accusations. 
   
   
   
  There is, however, a way to deliberate more honestly. Looking beyond our polarizing headlines and interrogating the reasons racism takes hold, Off-White offers urgent analysis of one of the most divisive issues of our time. Taking in the contingency of whiteness, Judeo-Christian mythmaking, pro-Israel antisemitism, and the Palestinian struggle against colonialism, Rachel Shabi lights a hopeful way forward.

  Few works in literary history have shaped the cultural and spiritual imagination of the Western world as profoundly as *The Divine Comedy*. Written in the early 14th century by the Florentine poet Dante Alighieri, this epic journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise is more than just a tale of the afterlife—it is a meditation on justice, redemption, and the human soul’s search for divine truth. As both a poet and a visionary, Dante crafted a work that bridges medieval theology, classical influences, and deeply personal reflections, creating a narrative that continues to resonate with readers across centuries.  
    
  To fully appreciate *The Divine Comedy*, it is essential to understand the world that shaped Dante and the literary traditions that influenced him. Born in 1265, Dante lived in a politically tumultuous Italy, marked by factional strife between the Guelphs and Ghibellines, conflicts that would deeply impact his life and writing. Exiled from his native Florence, he poured his exile’s anguish and his longing for justice into the verses of *The Divine Comedy*, transforming personal suffering into an allegorical masterpiece. His work reflects not only his political frustrations but also his devotion to philosophy, theology, and the poetic traditions of Virgil and the classical world.  
    
  At its core, *The Divine Comedy* is an allegory of the soul’s journey toward God. Each of its three realms—*Inferno*, *Purgatorio*, and *Paradiso*—represents stages of moral and spiritual transformation. *Inferno* exposes the consequences of sin, *Purgatorio* explores the trials of purification, and *Paradiso* reveals the ultimate joy of divine enlightenment. This structure serves not only as a vivid depiction of the afterlife but also as a guide for readers seeking moral and spiritual understanding in their own lives.

  The Nature of the Beast

  Does your dog get sad when you leave for the day? Does your cat purr because she loves you? Do bears attack when they’re angry? You can’t very well ask them.  
   
  In fact, scientists haven’t been able to reach a consensus on whether animals even have emotions like humans do, let alone how to study them. Yet studies of animal emotion are critical for understanding human emotion and mental illness. 
   
  In The Nature of the Beast, pioneering neuroscientist David J. Anderson describes a new approach to solving this problem. He and his colleagues have figured out how to study the brain activity of animals as they navigate real-life scenarios, like  
  fleeing a predator or competing for a mate. His research has revolutionized what we know about animal fear and aggression. Here, he explains what studying emotions and related internal brain states in animals can teach us about human  
  behavior, offering new insights into why isolation makes us more aggressive, how sex and violence connect, and whether there’s a link between aggression and mental illness. 
   
  Full of fascinating stories, The Nature of the Beast reconceptualizes how the brain regulates emotions—and explains why we have them at all.
