Steven Attewell, RIP - Lawyers, Guns & Money
It is with a very heavy heart that I let the LGM community know about the death of our contributor and my fellow labor historian Steven Atte
Lawyers, Guns & Money

I don’t have a lot of words right now but Steven Attewell, who you all reading this probably know as @racefortheironthrone , just passed away. He was a very great writer, friend, and person, and it’s a horrible loss.

asoiafuniversity:

Steven was an incredible contributor to the ASOIAF community, a great friend to the moderators of this blog and to so many others. His work analyzing ASOIAF chapter-by-chapter through a historical and political lens, begun in 2012, was a landmark and a prototype for numerous fans writing ASOIAF analysis, a true paragon. His blog on tumblr, where he kindly answered so many questions about the series in addition to his essay writing, was an inspiration to the ASOIAF fandom here, helping to build a community based on textual analysis. It's not an exaggeration to say that this blog would not at all be the same without him.

We will miss him more than we can say.

A heartfelt and edifying thread from Steven’s brother re his academic work:

I'm heartbroken to say we lost my brother, Steven Attewell yesterday morning after a long struggle with cancer. I'll put personal feelings and thoughts elsewhere, but given his and my community here, I want to talk about Steve's political and intellectual contributions. 🧵: — David Attewell (@DavidAttewell6) April 11, 2024ALT
