the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Feels wrong to celebrate while academia is on 🔥, but this week I got the lovely cover for my long overdue book *The Sweet Taste of Empire: Sugar, Mastery and Pleasure in the Anglo Caribbean* forthcoming from UPenn Press! #RaceB4Race #RenSA2025 #RSA2025 #Shax2025

Tan Book cover with green and brown text. Upper right corner has a seventeenth century engraved image of a Black body that looks like classical sculpture with a white head. It is holding a sheaf of cane.

As a historian 🗃️ I was grateful to be encouraged to write this for @americananthro.bsky.social. It's important to me not to just write about #Haitian history or the history of US foreign policy, but also to try to redress the effects of our actions NOW. 🙏 for reading! #WelcomingWithDignity

“The work that I do is about pushing back against . . . these ideas that we have about language and . . . gender that are really quite rigid . . . Language can’t be separated from the people who do language.” Proud to be involved in this pod with @krisknisely.bsky.social and @cornelllrc.bsky.social

Really enjoyed reading "Purging the Monster: French Cinema Puts Bad Mothers on Trial" by Aubrey Gabel on @publicbooks.bsky.social discussing St. Omer by Alice Diop and Anatomie d'une chute by Justine Triet www.publicbooks.org/purging-the-...

Purging the Monster: French Cinema Puts Bad Mothers on Trial

In both “Saint Omer” and “Anatomy of a Fall,” we are meant to identify with the defendants—albeit for different reasons.

THIS. So many 🤬s say “people shouldn’t have come illegally.” These folks all came legally! But they’re changing the rules now on them - & these folks *put themselves on file* with the government by coming legally so they’re in worse shape than people who didn’t! 🤬💔🤬💔🤬💔🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

💔🤬💔🤬💔🤬 Just got the news from the agency where I volunteer with migrants. No migrants this week, no shelter guests, no airport shifts. CBP is releasing NO ONE to us. Total shutdown. It might change next week & a few might cross - but it's 💔for migrants & the staff who might lose their jobs.
