Here's how to fix this AI-attack, presumably at least (see screenshot) - although it does not solve the more general problem of handing over your work to a rather dubious for-profit organization whose account I have not had the heart to delete (yet).

Ouch. Being a rock/pop/jazz star is dangerous business, decidedly. So much is clear from your series of posts.

"Global Histories of the Portuguese Revolution," @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social, eds. Luís Trindade, Rita Lucas Narra, Ricardo Noronha, @pramospinto.bsky.social. An awesome book! Have a chapter in there that writes the "retornados" aka decolonization, Cold War, and refugeeness back into the picture.

"Building Nations, Making Worlds, Creating Subjects: European Languages in Postcolonial Africa" is the megalomaniac title for the presentation of my research project at @sdu.dk (host: @christiandp.bsky.social) that is still very much work in progress and a fragile flower. Join us if you are around!

The argument? By placing the returnees in their trans:national contexts, I show how decolonization reshaped Western European societies: their demographic makeup; citizenship and welfare state; notions of the national community; political communication and memories.

A study of #decolonization & #migration, it looks at the history & memory of ‘#retornados,’ i.e., settlers returning from #Portugal’s African colonies after the 1974 Carnation Revolution.
