Historian exploring transimperial and forced migration issues. Spent ten years reseraching, writing, and publishing Colonial Internationalism and the Governmentality of Empire (CUP 2022). Eager to learn more.
In our latest book spotlight, Tim Roberts presents his compelling work After Barbary, which reveals how the American Empire drew on French Algeria as a model for its own colonial policy, adopting its razzia warfare, replicating the legal frameworks www.transimperialhistory.com/book-spotlig...
One story that didn't make it into my book is that the Indian revolutionaries in Paris took part in the massive demonstrations across the city on 17 October 1909 after the execution of the Spanish anarchist educator Francisco Ferrer.
#Publikation In der interdisziplinären @utb.de -Reihe „Frag doch einfach“ ist von @florianwagner.bsky.social nun eine Einführung zur Geschichte von Kolonialismus, Antikolonialismus und Postkolonialen Debatten in Frage-und-Antwort-Form erschienen. www.uni-erfurt.de/forschung/ak...
Seit heute gibt es das Einführungsbüchlein zu Kolonialismus und Antikolonialismus bei UTB zu kaufen. Der Reihentitel war nicht ganz meine Wahl aber ich hoffe durch viele Fußnoten und Zitate den Forschenden und Aktivist*innen gerecht zu werden, die ‚aus erster Hand‘ von kolonialer Erfahrung berichten
This first of my most anticipated books of 2026 written by a Filipino author has arrived 😍

Really moving find in Dakar archives today. A letter from Sira Sangare asking the Minister of the Colonies to intervene to help find out what happened to her son. He had been mobilised in May 1916 but all trace of him vanished in the autumn of 1918. No record was found to confirm his fate.

Gilroy und Trouillot sind jetzt erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung erschienen, und ich finde es interessant, wie hier mal wieder „postkoloniale Theorie“ verhandelt wird. Der „Zionismus“, von dem Gilroy spricht, ist jedenfalls ein christlicher. Btw auch Eric Williams wurde gerade erstmals übersetzt.
Publication day! I am thrilled that my book is now published and available open access.
