#OTD 2.10.1905 erlässt Trotha Schiessbefehl, der Völkermord an Herero besiegelt. Nichts war heute von der Politik dazu zu hören. Wolfram Weimer sieht in Gedenken an Völkermord Herero Nama gar eine Relativierung des Holocaust. Beschämend. Hier dazu mehr:

Dear colleagues, I will be talking to my students about research gaps and omissions in research. I will be mentioning "Invisible Women" by @ccriadoperez.bsky.social and "Erased" by @patriciaowens.bsky.social. Any other books you would suggest talking about? Esp Black, queer, non-European histories.

Very interesting. Eysenck and Jensen were also absolutely central for far-right activists in France today often subsumed under the label "New Right". They also framed them as victims of "intellectual terrorism" and advertised their work in their publications.

I found this photo of Charles Atangana on wiki commons, without any date. Does anybody here know a way to date and contextualize this photo? Maybe through the uniforms (are they German or French)?

Dear #skystorians, what are the books you are looking forward to coming out this fall? Or do you want to jump at the opportunity and tell us about yours? I'm mostly interested in the 20th century, new publications. Share and comment!

I am biased because he was a great colleague at grad school but I do think @hamremar.bsky.social "Fascists of the World, Unite?" is a very important contribution to debates about fascism internationalism in history and politics today. Do check it out and order it in your libraries.

some archive digitisation programs are very clunky & hard to use, this is immaculate & has an incredibly user friendly interface + excellent metadata
