So delighted to see our professional society recognizing this important book!
How kind, Judith!
The Marshs are on Blue Sky!
The March issue of Slavery & Abolition contains a Forum on "Human Commodification". The Guest Editors are Tawny Paul, Andrew Apter, and Craig Koslofsky. It is available at: www.tandfonline.com/toc/fsla20/c...
Keen to listen! And if this tastes of more: come and listen to a conversation about it @ihreurope1500.bsky.social & the French Seminar @ihr.bsky.social with Mélanie Lamotte, @juliehardwick.bsky.social, and @lrhodges.bsky.social. Bound to be fascinating!

One of the toughest obstacles to this volume was selecting which pieces from @ageofrevolutions.bsky.social to include. There are so many great essays. The volume is meant to be read alongside the website! www.upress.virginia.edu/author-corne...
I should have written "methodology"! I think there's absolutely a value to understanding the shape of the land etc even if it's much transformed in the inbetween times.
Oh I love this methodology so much!
2/2 With Marie Houllemare, Antoine Lilti and Sasha Turner.
(Not sure why the nice thumbnail for the forum that popped up when I put the link in isn't showing! I hope when you click it, it will be! Here's the link to the book with thumbnail at any rate

1/n Absolutely my honor & please to be part of this forum about Miranda Spieler's amazing new book, Slaves in Paris - an instant classic. Such an important intervention in French & European history as well as the history of Black Europe & Atlantic history.

Check Toby Green's beautiful essay on @aeon.co, edited by dear Sam Haselby, essay draws on Toby's new magnificent book The Heretic of Cacheu. For reading and listening, and to be shared widely in these difficult times we live in #slaveryarchive #Africanhistory #Africa aeon.co/essays/lesso...
So sorry I didn't tag you, Erin - when I looked for your blue sky name, it didn't come up. And congratulations again!
This article is the best I have read so far this year and I think it will keep that award until the end of the year. It is a hard, painful read, but so well described and flipping the historiographical table. It keeps me thinking about what a sustained comparison with Protestant regions would bring.
It was a pleasure to participate in this roundtable about a remarkable book. We find things to critique because that's the exercise, but what an achievement by the editors and all 260+ contributors.
Brilliant round table online ahead of print from @frenchhistory.bsky.social on “Colonisations: notre histoire”, a history in reverse of France and empire, written by 268 contributors (!!!)

Done!
Oh I think it would, Laura. Let me do that right away.
3/ Everybody read it! @chicagojournals.bsky.social @durhamhistory.bsky.social

2/. I would have said I know a lot about this topic & have thought about it seriously for a long time, but Erin's reframing - bringing black feminist scholarship to early modern history - is staggering. I am always a huge fan of her work but the intensity of the writing and the import...
1/ A shout out to seriously the most stunning article I have read perhaps ever - Erin Maglaque's in the December @Journalofmoder. I was one of the readers for this piece, and I even wrote in my report that it was such an intense read that I had to go for a walk afterwards to calm down.

I am so looking forward to discussing Mel's much awaited book with @lrhodges.bsky.social in May - and celebrating it there with Mel and any of you who would like to come along.
So many thanks to @onslies.bsky.social for organizing this.
Fascinating!
Not available until June 2026, but we have a cover! #earlymodern #skystorians
I couldn't be happier, or more honored, that the first issue of the redesigned and reimagined HLQ will feature the work of the Somali American artist Ebony Iman Dallas. Like much of her work, 𝘉𝘓𝘈𝘊𝘒𝘰𝘶𝘵: 𝘔𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘢 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 puts past and present in vital conversation. #earlymodern #skystorians
Look out for @sarahabendall.bsky.social's
fascinating new book - drawing on super archival research and at the nexus of labor history, women's history, fashion history, and yes royal women
"The Baltic world and Nordic region have never figured prominently in the historiography of medieval & early modern Europe." My 1 semester at Uppsala was a reality check about the scale of this marginalization!
This book by @adamgeorgie.bsky.social looks like a welcome part of the correction.
Who doesn't love a good academic press sale!
I am so delighted to see @charmianmansell.bsky.social's excellent book be recognized with two big book prized this autumn. A must read for early modernists in so many fields.
