#OTD 2.10.1905 erlässt Trotha Schiessbefehl, der Völkermord an Herero besiegelt. Nichts war heute von der Politik dazu zu hören. Wolfram Weimer sieht in Gedenken an Völkermord Herero Nama gar eine Relativierung des Holocaust. Beschämend. Hier dazu mehr:

Dear colleagues, I will be talking to my students about research gaps and omissions in research. I will be mentioning "Invisible Women" by @ccriadoperez.bsky.social and "Erased" by @patriciaowens.bsky.social. Any other books you would suggest talking about? Esp Black, queer, non-European histories.

Very interesting. Eysenck and Jensen were also absolutely central for far-right activists in France today often subsumed under the label "New Right". They also framed them as victims of "intellectual terrorism" and advertised their work in their publications.

Black-white photograph of four men talking in front of a larger crowd. Charles Atangana on the right in the white uniform.
I found this photo of Charles Atangana on wiki commons, without any date. Does anybody here know a way to date and contextualize this photo? Maybe through the uniforms (are they German or French)?

I am biased because he was a great colleague at grad school but I do think @hamremar.bsky.social "Fascists of the World, Unite?" is a very important contribution to debates about fascism internationalism in history and politics today. Do check it out and order it in your libraries.
