I have two new pieces up today at The Daily Beast:

• What the Hell Is ‘Twee’? A Genre? A Mindset? An Art Form?: My Q&A with Marc Spitz, the author of Twee: The Gentle Revolution in Music, Books, Television, Fashion, and Film, a new book about the history Twee art.

• When the Right to Vote Wasn’t a Right: My longform piece about the Freedom Summer voting-rights project in 1964, the murders of the three of the program’s volunteers, and the effort to seat an integrated Mississippi delegation at the 1964 Democratic National Convention.
