The Summer issue of the Claremont Review of Books is now online and in the mail for subscribers!
This new issue opens with a hopeful editor's note by Charles Kesler about the recent string of favorable Supreme Court decisions marking an "annus mirabilis" in the recovery of American constitutionalism -- and very likely a turning point. Kesler is less optimistic, however, in his penetrating essay on the Left's perversion of voting rights into an unrelenting quest to accumulate voting power. Kesler elucidates the link between identity politics and the Left's "second-generation voting rights" agenda.
Associate editor Spencer Klavan's sweeping cover essay explores the idea of the "multiverse" and warns that lending the theory the "imprimatur of science means giving scientists the authority of philosophers and priests." (Because that worked out so well during the pandemic.)
Subscribers will also enjoy essays by Christopher Caldwell on why the U.S. is really at war with Ukraine, Richard Samuelson on how to disestablish the new woke religion, William Voegeli on Chicago's decline, and Michael Anton on the liberal authoritarianism of the United Arab Emirates. Among our book reviews you’ll find Carnes Lord on the late Angelo M. Codevilla’s last book, America’s Rise and Fall Among Nations, John Fonte on Edward J. Erler’s The United States in Crisis, Gerard Bradley on Vincent Phillip Munoz’s definitive look at Religious Liberty and the America Founding, and so much more!
