Danke, Robert! Ziemlich lange Teile sogar - ca. 70 Seiten. Lieben Gruß!
You probably already know but just in case you were not aware there is lots of material on African thinkers, activists, movements etc in Marxists.org , see www.marxists.org/subject/afri...
"A Pan-African couple:" @elarabertho.bsky.social's great book on Miriam Makeba (South African singer-activist) and Stokely Carmichael (Trinidadian-US theorist-activist of Black Power) in Guinea both challenges and inspires scholarship on the 'Global Sixties.' www.tandfonline.com/eprint/QCSCM...

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).
Seriously, fuck off.
I say that with all due gravity.

This is happening on Friday in Kreuzberg.
Join Adam Shatz, Emilia Roig, and me for a conversation about Frantz Fanon, violence, and decolonization.

Ouch. Being a rock/pop/jazz star is dangerous business, decidedly. So much is clear from your series of posts.
Poor fella! Had no idea how he died.
"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.
I will be there! Maybe you will, too?
This panel was amazing! You all were on fire!

#BD Dans les années 1970, une maison d'édition se lance dans la réalisation de biographies de dirigeants africains sous forme de bandes dessinées. Sauf que les scénarios ne reflètent pas toujours la réalité historique... C’est la naissance d’Afrique Biblio Club. Par @kalidousy.bsky.social ⬇️
🚨Attention Global Sixties scholars:🚨A typical French handwriting in the mail is always a good omen. Here, it announced the arrival of @elarabertho.bsky.social’s exciting new book “A Pan-African Couple: Miriam Makeba and Stokely Carmichael in Guinea”. Looking forward to reading!
@empiressdu.bsky.social
"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!
Experte en marketing !! 😍
Absolutely delighted about the publication of GLOBALIZING EUROPE: A HISTORY (Cambridge University Press): www.cambridge.org/.../globaliz... via @cambridgeup.bsky.social
Cool! I’ll remember the offer if we actually make it there!
The essayistic preface to the Portuguese edition can be read here: www.ics.ulisboa.pt/sites/ics.ul...
A big thank you to the team of Imprensa de Ciências Sociais - Marta Castelo Branco and Pedro Cerejo did a fantastic job. So did Bruno Peixe Dias with his inspired and engaged work in translating the text. Obrigado a tod@s! www.ics.ulisboa.pt/livros/portu...
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.
