Beautifully wrought, long radio feature seeing the devastation of Khartoum through the destruction of a legenday hotel. (Reminds me of lodging amid ruins in Port-aux-Princes, Brazzaville, Kisangani, Monrovia, Kampala, etc., etc. www.npr.org/2025/06/15/n...
Khartoum's Acropole Hotel, survivor of coups and attacks, succumbs to civil war
One of Khartoums oldest and most loved hotels has survived coups, wars, and even a bomb attack, but it couldn't weather Sudan's civil war.

It strikes me that the US is experiencing its own round of SAPs, and there lessons to be learnt from how SAPs devastated African countries.

Absolutely devastated by this news. Jim was one of my first anthropology teachers at Stanford. In his class on the history of anthropological thought, he taught me how to read carefully, insisting that I take the time to understand someone's argument in context before I reach for the easy critique.

James Ferguson, a guiding light in the anthropology of southern Africa, has died.

His prose and analysis offered a model of clarity and insight. He was only 65. Very very sad.

"What openings does spacetime provide that the maritime, perhaps, cannot as readily support?" — from our latest issue, read Petal Samuel's "Black Gravity, or a Hidden History of Empire" here: read.dukeupress.edu/differences/...
An excerpt from the linked article, which reads: "If maritime metaphors grapple continuously with how to map Blackness’s trajectories—our relationships to space, the environment, our history, and each other—spacetime metaphors may be more interested in sensing and, thereby, elaborating new ways of knowing: they press on the ways we fail to adequately know and name the fullness of Blackness’s meanings, locations, enactments, and possibilities."
