I have been working for 2 years on the Handbook on Authoritarianism in the Arab World. 30 contributions. It's finally done and submitted.

Stay tuned for publication, open access. I hope it's a useful resource for students, scholars, and everyone interested in the topic of authoritarianism.

How are we going to get out of this situation? Can the US recover from this nonsense? Things are lookin real bleak.

Ah yes black people in those states can just move, from the south (where their families live. These conversations often ignores the deep cutural roots/ties black people have in south since slavery). Yeah that's totally a wonderful idea 🙄

Couverture de l'ouvrage publié, intitulé L’œuvre en kanouri d'al-Hajj Musa ibn Hissein, un savant du Borno (Niger-Nigéria), publié chez Brill dans la collection African Sources for African History, en juillet 2025.

Aujourd’hui nous republions l’ensemble de ces textes en kanouri (chansons, proverbes, lettres, textes historiques) dans une double transcription celle du XIXe siècle et une lisible par les locuteurs contemporains et nous les traduisons en français pour les faire connaitre au plus grand nombre.

I don't know even know what to say anymore...

Oh by no means is it perfect, but I thought over throwing the state was pretty cool.

Well you see...that's the plot of Robocop 3

Happy pride to u pimps

MFA Boston to Rescind Promised Gift of Benin Bronzes, Close Dedicated Gallery In an unprecedented move for a US arts institution, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, will return a promised gift of Benin Bronzes.

Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, to return looted Benin Bronzes and close the collection’s dedicated gallery on April 28. The Benin Bronzes are among a group of 1,000s of bronze and ivory objects looted from the West African kingdom of Benin (present-day Nigeria) by British forces in the 18th century.

Thoughts on "The Princeton Guide to Historical Research"?

A standard textbook for citations style and methodology is Turabian's manual. An easy to read book for how history is made and the change in that methodology over time is Maza's "Thinking About History." She co-edited a standardly assigned volume on historiography which is good enough. 1/2

You know I have legitimate gripes with afrocentrism...however most of the criticism I see is people just doing a racism. Apparently I can add antisemitism to the list too.

As a university student myself, I appreciate the work you guys put in. You guys are awesome, and I hope you're to take easy on yourselves. Cheers!

Lord this again...I'm made I wasted some of my youth on the discourse around this movie.

Gotta keep em on their toes

The American education system is so bad, that I was shocked to learn the first muslims in america came from West Africa. Being raised the early 2000s had me thinking Islam was just a Middle-Eastern thing.

Throw Columbus discovering America along with the "werid myths white americans want cling to...for some reason"

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.
