We’re only days away now from the launch, which means we’ve built up sufficient dramatic tension to proudly announce our sixth New Inquriy blogger: Maryam Monalisa Gharavi and her blog south/south. Maryam is a doctoral candidate at Harvard, where she focuses on banditry, transgression, and film in Brazil, France, and North Africa. You can find her top-rate commentary and analysis all over the web, including The LA Review of Books, Jadaliyya, Electronic Intifada, and here as well. She’s also known for being at the right place at the right time for capturing small moments of public joy, exactly what we’re going to need.
