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.

New week, new publication! 🎉 Excited to see my article 'An invitation to a party? Staging urban proximity and the colonial public in nineteenth-century Batavia' out in @urbanhistory.bsky.social! And it's Open Access, too, so feel free to check it out (and share, maybe?): doi.org/10.1017/S096...

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.
