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.

"Ice Geographies" by Jen Rose Smith @sprucehen.bsky.social centers ice to critically study racialization, land dispossession, and Indigenous knowledge production about icy places, both historically and in the modern moment of climate change. Read the intro for free now! #Environment buff.ly/f7H5UuR
Cover of Ice Geographies: The Colonial Politics of Race & Indigeneity in the Arctic. The cover features an abstract art piece by Darcie Bernhardt. The piece is titled Beluga Hunting and depicts a light pink, green, and blue marbled pattern. Forked green and white lines within the pattern evoke topographic striations.

Why are minerals so central to geopolitics? How green are electric cars? Why is anti-mining protest increasing? Can the inequalities of the global economy be transformed? I tackle these topics in my book EXTRACTION: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism 👀 September 2025 @wwnorton.bsky.social

Plato was made for social media. First tries to mansplain about how Homer didn’t write the Odyssey right, and is so wrong that he eventually doubles down until he’s arguing that poets don’t belong in society 😅

An expensive, stupid and deadly self-inflicted wound to his own Province by weakening its largest city and economic engine, all due to pettiness and to distract and rage-farm for political gain. Imagine weakening your Province’s success and endangering its people knowingly just to help yourself.
