edin h @edinh.bsky.social · 04/09/2026It's a matter of factual record that the American Historical Association argued that the legitimacy of the historical profession rests on "appropriately narrow boundaries," thus safeguarding it from political reprisals. Let's see how that narrow-and-safe ploy turned out. 171

Reposted by edin hadnito @a-d-n.bsky.social · 27/08/2026The death of Ratko Mladić means nothing to me. He won. The West rewarded the genocide and handed almost half of Bosnia's territory to his political project. As long as the genocidal entity exists, no justice is possible. The monument to his crimes outlives him. 19636

![This issue of Fortnightly News [September 2024] includes major policy interventions on the part of the AHA. We're more active than any comparable association in our activism on behalf of the work of historians, whether the professional integrity of teachers in states considering and/or enacting "divisive concepts" legislation, state social studies standards, or reminding congressional staff that everything has a history and why that history matters. We also occasionally sign onto amicus curiae briefs when historical method and accuracy stand at the center of the issue.
The AHA cannot, does not, and should not intervene everywhere. We don't comment on controversies in other disciplines. As a membership
association, we keep our distance from issues that are controversial within and among our members. And we keep in mind that our effectiveness rests on our legitimacy, our reputation for even-handedness, professional integrity, and appropriately narrow boundaries.
