In "Up Against the Archive," edited by Antoinette Burton, scholars experiment with anti-imperial forms of writing history, attending to archival silences and reassessing traditional disciplinary modes and forms. Read the intro for free now: buff.ly/SZFDCMy
Cover of Up Against the Archive: Experiments in Writing British Empire History Otherwise by Antoinette Burton. The cover resembles a notebook, with the spine in brown and the cover in textured teal that has faint writings with map-like markings and circles. The title is in large white serif text across the upper half. The subtitle is centered in smaller white text, with the editor's name at the bottom in white, small, capitalized text.

Spent yesterday packing up a beloved and vitally important cultural organizations' library and archive and the precarity of knowledge and knowledge collectors in this world where a mime machine supposedly knows all knowledge is insane.

A massive MTA archive ended up in a Virginia warehouse. A Brooklyn man brought it home.
The collection of documents comes from a subway obsessive.

This is a genuinely incredible post: comparing slavery to the liberation of the Netherlands during WWII effectively reduces Britain's centuries-long involvement in slavery and the slave trade to the act of abolition. The real problem about the legacies of empire is apparently a lack of gratitude 🫪
