21 mm. Så tykt er det nummer af tidsskriftet Arbejderhistorie. Jeg har selv bidraget til omfanget med mit essay om Russell-tribunalet i Roskilde. En, synes jeg naturligvis selv, spændende, og stedvist kulørt fortælling om noget ret alvorligt: Folkets rolle i folkeretten.

Dagens positive overraskelse: Jeg er blandt modtagerne af Statens Kunstfonds litteraturudvalgs arbejdslegat. Godt nok i laveste kategori. Men (næsten) lige så vigtigt som pengene er det skulderklap, at kompetente folk har ment, at det jeg laver er noget værd. Det kan jeg godt bruge i denne tid..

Can anybody recommend a short and comprehensive text, that provides an overview of the history of industrialisation - from a global and non-Eurocentric point of view?

Antonio Gramsci, the famous Italien marxist and political activist, was born on this day 135 years ago. Here is an interesting article, explaining how he became known outside Italy - or more precisely: in the English speaking part of the world: tribunemag.co.uk/2021/10/how-...

50 years ago, the publication of an English translation of 'Selections from the Prison Notebooks' catapulted Antonio Gramsci onto the world stage – and gave Marxism its most influential post-war intel...

Trump loves Saudi Arabia. It’s an authoritarian society, which punishes dissent and is owned by the wealthiest family on earth. Trump hates Europe. The governments there are democratically elected. The future of America must be a vibrant democracy. Not Trump’s authoritarianism.

Today, people all over Denmark and Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland) took to the streets, to show our contempt for the American bullying of our nations. We will not bow to threats. Greenland belong to its people! #KalaallitNunaatTapersersorparput #MakeAmericaGoAway

Trump recently claimed that "EU was formed to screw the US". Anyone with a glimpse of historical knowledge knows he's wrong. But on the other hand: Maybe now is the time, just for once, to prove him right? Fun fact: EU has roughly 110 mio. more inhabitants, e.g. consumers, than the US.

"They say they have rights to it. I don’t know if that’s true. I don’t think it is, actually." Says Trump about Denmark and Greenland. But the US recognised Danish sovereignty over G. already in 1916. And we have the archives to prove that! #Greenland #Denmark jyllands-posten.dk/indland/ECE1...

Guillaume Mouralis: “law and justice can be powerful tools of emancipation”
When international justice is lacking, citizens’ tribunals appear as a means of kick-starting justice. Guillaume Mouralis analyzes the historical model of the Russell Tribunal.

Dahl er "dybt skuffet" over at regeringen ikke sætter spørgsmålstegn ved ICC - en institution DK har arbejdet for at fremme i årevis. Jeg er dybt skuffet over, at en del danskere bevidstløst efterplaprer den misinformerende israelske propaganda, der skød op som en gejser efter arrestordrene.

1. So - the International Criminal Court (ICC) warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant - www.nytimes.com/live/2024/11.... The one strong prediction I have - this is going to lead to US financial sanctions against ICC employees, and possibly the ICC as an institution. That is going to get ugly for the EU.

Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Vladimir Dedijer and two others in Roskilde, 1967. How come these icons of the intellectual left had swapped the Parisian boulevards for a Danish provincial town? They were there for the Russell Tribunal. When #urbanhistory and #coldwarhistory overlaps...
