Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

Check out my conversation with Elana Resnick on NB in Eastern European Studies. We're discussing her new book "Refusing Sustainability: Race and Environmentalism in a Changing Europe." A fascinating ethnography of the Bulgarian Roma community & waste management! newbooksnetwork.com/refusing-sus...

Super excited to be in Regensburg to present my new project: The Women of Krajina. If you're in the area, join me to hear about new perspectives in peace and conflict studies in the Balkans, namely war as a place of life. I look at women's political agency & everyday survival in wartime Croatia.

I, too, am an ungrateful subject :) Growing up in Canada, I was told (directly, indirectly) to be thankful and not complain (too much). I didn't expect this to be such an emotional read. This spoke to me so directly, down to the shared passport with my mother. Down to the bubbling rage.

Branka Vierda and Nikola Puharić (and their colleagues) did an incredible job building this website based on courtroom evidence. Operation Pocket-93 was one of the many violent military campaigns during the wars fought in the former #Yugoslavia. Take a look: www.snv.hr/operacija-dz... #Croatia #ICTY

The Centre for Holocaust and Genocide Research in Southeast Europe has released a public statement on the fascist 'Za Dom Spremni' salute👇 Just bracing for the backlash that has already begun to trickle in... this is an inevitability, particularly in November. chgrse.wordpress.com/public-state...

Over 50 masked men gathered in front of the Serb Cultural Centre in Zagreb tonight, chanting the Croatian version of Sieg Heil–Za Dom Spremni. The police checked their IDs and let them go. This follows a similar incident in Split and death threats made to Pupovac. www.index.hr/vijesti/clan...

Centering his minoritised identity is "a radical move in a political culture that expects minoritised candidates to constantly reassure majority audiences." The author makes an interesting comparison to Obama, who attempted to downplay his difference to appease white Americans.👇

Zašto su HDZ-ovci poludjeli na benkovački festival: "Mirotvorac" ruši službeni narativ o tzv. Domovinskom ratu kao crno-bijeloj priči skroz nevinih Hrvata i krivih Srba. Film otvara pitanje unutarnje odgovornosti za rat i pokazuje krvave HDZ-ove ruke za ratne zločine u Osijeku. Pogledajte film:

The pertinent question is not whether languages exist. Of course they exist. What those of us who are often derisively called “postmodern” are pushing the field to ask is how languages come to exist, who benefits from them existing in these particular ways and how else they can and do exist.

A new Croatian edition of The Wind's Twelve Quarters, published by Artikularij, includes an illustration by a different artist for each story in the collection. Here are four of the images; four were posted last week, and we'll share the rest in coming weeks! (Credits below and in alt text)

The art for "April in Paris," by Hana Tintor, is mostly a starry, black sky, with a crescent moon in the bottom right corner. A window hovers in the upper left corner, warmly lit; through it you can see two figures sitting at a table, drinking wine. One figure is mostly visible; the other is just a sleeve. A simple candelabra is on the table.

The art for "Winter's King," by Daria Čičmir, is minimal, showing shapes (mostly black) on a cream background. One shape is a hand mirror with a blue bird on the back. Another is the suggestion of a head, with bows under the eyes and short black hair.

The art for "Vaster than Empires and More Slow," by Ivana Miloš, is filled with lines that suggest vines and growth. At the bottom of the image, green plants grow.

The art for "The Ones That Walk Away from Omelas," by Klasja Habjan, shows a thin child, drawn in thin lines, to the left of the page. The child looks to the right of the page, where there are two images: at the top, a white city glows against a black square, people and animals joyously dancing before it; at the bottom, two figures crest a hill, their backs to the viewer.

Where many linguists see a language tree I see race science presenting itself as objective linguistic fact

If you're interested in the linguistic practises of the Serb minority in post-war Croatia, or, more generally, wondering how is it possible to *hear* ethnicity & (im)morality, check out my first peer-reviewed article published in @nationalitiesp.bsky.social!

Exploring how people find dignity in situations of mass violence, genocide, and callous warfare is both heartbreaking and incredibly important work.

7 years ago today I testified in front of a NYC judge + jury how widespread ignorance of how academia works helped a murderer kill a promising scholar vulnerable only because he wanted a stable job. Things have only gotten scarier. Please share: www.zocalopublicsquare.org/historian-mu...
