December 8, 2011Excited to report that the Jan-Feb 2012 issue of the Utne Reader has written up Ren Farley's article "The Waning of American Apartheid?" in their Emerging Ideas section. It's a great, almost Contexts-discoveries-style piece that really engages the article. Not yet online, but expect to see it here soon: http://www.utne.com/Current-Issue.aspx
