Dear #skystorians, could you please guide me towards an *early* French historiography of World War II and the early postwar (1945-1948)? I am only finding either testimonies/biographies or things related to Algeria/resistance. Thanks!

My argument in two images: In the early 1970s, activists portrayed African anti-imperialists as the avant-garde of an imminent world revolution (see Révolution Africa's poster of Amílcar Cabral).

I'm excited to see that @routledgehistory.bsky.social has published an expanded version of the special issue, 'The Cold War of Labour Migrants'. In it, my article, 'From anti-imperialism to multiculturalism' explores the global intellectual history of migrant activists in 1970s France.
