202 x 276 mm, 154 pages New York, US Quarterly Editorial director: Bhaskar Sunkara Creative director: Remeike Forbes Design director: Lauren Traugott-Campbell With the strap line ‘Reason in Revolt’, Jacobin tackles politics from a firmly leftist standpoint, offering socialist perspectives on politics, economics, and culture. Recent issues of Jacobin have seen the New York-crafted magazine expand; in terms of its physical size, pagination, and (by the looks of things) its team, which has also seen a reshuffle. This issue leads with the 250th anniversary of US independence: from a call to rewrite the US constitution, with writer/filmmaker Astra Taylor making the case for both the relevance of the document and its refresh, to a piece critiquing US federal government structure as ‘ a laborotroy of autocracy and inequality.’
