Democracy's Data Is Out!!
Dear Readers,
This newsletter will be brief.
Hooray!
Democracy's Data is officially
out,
published,
shipping,
and generally available!
While you're waiting for a copy to arrive, or standing in line at the bookstore, amuse yourselves with these two excerpts from the book.
In this piece, published today in WIRED, discover how the census found a place for queer people who otherwise would not fit in a count of straight households.
And over at LitHub, I invite you to think with me and Langston Hughes about how power shapes the census and how every census sheet reflects a negotiation, or a moment of cooperation and creativity.
Finally, if you have purchased a copy of DEMOCRACY'S DATA and you would like a signed (and stamped) bookplate to affix inside, just reply to this e-mail and let me know what address to send it to!
Thanks, as always, for reading!
take care,
Dan
