Paul is currently working on two book projects. The first, tentatively titled, "Our Country Is The World" is a co-written work of political advocacy and historical inquiry. The book argues that internationalism must become an essential political value and practice of US progressives. In it, we examine why major challenges often seen primarily through domestic lenses (authoritarianism, climate change, etc.) cannot be solved within US borders. Much of the book is then devoted to historical examples, present day case studies, and ideas about how to make internationalism core to US progressives - whether it's a campaign in your neighborhood or changing the federal government.

The second book project is historical. It examines the thematically and sometimes practically intertwined struggles to test the limits of social democracy and push for democratic socialism throughout the Americas during the 1970s. To tell this tale, the book focuses on the lives and times of three main individuals: Jamaican Prime Minister Michael Manley, Chilean socialist activist Beatriz Allende, and black freedom champion Coretta Scott King.
