I'm also incredibly excited (and feel quite humbled) about this prize! Thanks so much Dominique for sharing. For those who are interested, P&P's very kind editors have made the article open access for the next three months:

It's a fascinating history from below that brings this revolutionary moment to life in vivid detail and reminds readers of its importance, while connecting it to anticolonial struggles in Cuba and the Philippines and to Mediterranean networks of exile and contraband. Well worth a read!

I'm so happy to see one of my favourite books come out in English next week! Jeanne takes readers on an incredible journey through a Spanish Commune-style revolution that lasted much longer than its Paris counterpart, with impressive details on the lives and ideas of its everyday supporters.

Screenshot of an article title page. 'An invitation to a party? Staging urban proximity and the colonial public in nineteenth-century Batavia' by Mikko Toivanen. Abstract: This article examines the development of colonial public culture in Batavia, the capital of the Dutch East Indies, over the second half of the nineteenth century, focusing on two moments of extended colonial ceremony: the city’s 250th anniversary in 1869 and the inauguration of Queen Wilhelmina in 1898. The analysis shows that over the course of the century, colonial ceremonial increasingly sought to assimilate facets of local cultural practices, while also expanding spatially into a more diverse set of neighbourhoods. Nevertheless, this new and superficially more representative order still maintained a strict internal hierarchy embedded in spatial and socio-cultural boundaries.

Sounds really fascinating! I've always been curious about counter-revolutionary cooperation across borders too, I'd love to read more about it!

Wow, thank you! I'm happy it can be of interest to them. Hope the students like it!

RELEASE DAY!!! It’s here at last and I am very proud of it. Immense thanks to @stanfordpress.bsky.social for supporting this project ( & check out the promotional code).

Happy to send a PDF via email if you'd like!

I also make a case for paying more attention to the material elements of revolutionary politics. Current work conditions sadly mean there's no way I could afford or get funds for open access but please DM me for a copy if you're interested!
