Thank you Sumit!

@sulinlewis.bsky.social reposted her 2016 essay in Afro-Asian Visions to mark the 70th anniversary of #BandungConference (18 April 2025): tinyurl.com/2t2dkuej. Her final paragraph on reframing the present & future remains inspiring & worthwhile. (1/3)

We had a really fun blog for a while about all things #afroasia with wonderful contributions, but to mark the 70th anniversary of the #Bandung conference here's my first post: medium.com/afro-asian-v... 1/2

Yesterday’s #esshc2025 panel was such a joy. Talking about anticolonial mobilisation with the global history gang @riakapoor.bsky.social @sulinlewis.bsky.social and @emleake.bsky.social. Thanks to Anne-Isabell Richard for chairing and the audience for great engagement. Feeling inspired!

The March issue includes the AHR’s first playlist. Jason Gibbs, a leading expert on late 20th Vietnamese popular music, has created a playlist of 12 songs that introduce listeners to Vietnamese soundscapes of the wartime era. 🗃️

Thanks @nashtysmans.bsky.social 🙏

If you haven't read it, I'd strongly recommend Amy Kaplan's book OUR AMERICAN ISRAEL on the development of the special relationship between Israel and the U.S. since 1948 - Amy was a fearless and brilliant scholar, and this book is necessary reading right now

Next Thursday (2-4) we'll be launching Development, Socialism, and Internationalism in the Third World (edited with @nanaoseiopare.bsky.social) with a brilliant group of discussants (below)- many thanks @jessicareinisch.bsky.social for hosting us at Birkbeck!

The "anniversary" of the coup always brings alot of attention to the situation in Myanmar which is good but alot of people / media / countries who pop up don't really comment the rest of the year. More sustained attention & support is needed.

Tis the reasons I built the #whatshappeninginmyanar feed

I was interviewed for this ... www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

New article! Open access - ‘Indonesian Tourism Workers on Volcanoes and Geotourism's Colonial Origins: Making a Subaltern History Visible’
