The new issue of Perspectives on Politics is now available. It’s intended to tie in with the APSA meeting next week, and has a particular focus on New Orleans, with articles by former _Perspectives editors_ Jennifer Hochschild and Jim Johnson, as well as pieces by Kevin Fox Gotham, Michael Dawson, William Paul Simmons and Monica Casper and Simon Stow. _Perspectives_ is also organizing an APSA panel on “Perspectives on New Orleans and the Politics of Reconstruction: A Discussion of Perspectives on Politics with the Editors,” on Friday, August 31, from 4:15-6:00 pm in Sheraton Rhythm 1. I’ll be one of the participants in the panel – I’m an associate editor of _Perspectives_, and would like to invite Monkey Cage readers to come along – there will be a reception afterwards with wine, beer and finger food.
