French history hivemind: are there any good secondary sources IN ENGLISH about the earliest years of French colonization in Saint-Christophe, Guadeloupe, Martinique? (i.e. the 1620s and 1630s). Asking for an Americanist colleague. Everything I know is in French. Merci d'avance!

Day 98: Among the highlights of my day has been reading the fantastic new H-France forum on @ecrosshistory.bsky.social's "Company Politics: Commerce, Scandal, and French Visions of Indian Empire in the Revolutionary Era"! Bravo to Junko Takeda for bringing together this wonderful group of scholars 👏

More reasons to join the @aaup.bsky.social . Any chapter that increases its membership by 20% in a year gets some money back to help that local chapter. Support your university's chapter. Create one if you need to. No time like right now. #academicsky #highered #edusky #AAUP #Harvard

Everyone in the humanities needs to submit feedback to the NEH on their new programming and grant initiatives. We've lost so many important programs in recent years, and there are so many urgent funding needs in our disciplines----for onsite dissertation research... (1/2)
