European Journal of American Culture 43.2 is out now! Special Issue

Intellect is pleased to announce that European Journal of American Culture 43.2 is out now!

Special Issue: ‘Games, American Culture and the Trump Presidency’

This issue gives a brief but poignant consideration of the ways the unfortunate election of Donald Trump played out, as it were, in and through contemporaneous games. The games, their reception and in some cases their implementation, were ineluctably informed by the extremist and rambling ‘MAGA’ agenda. The articles offer close readings of particular games, practices and approaches to give insights into how this occurred and what it means going forward.
