“A lot of these human war costs are not ones that we Americans are always aware of when we think about war.” The reverberating impacts of war lead to many more deaths than the war itself, notes Stephanie Savell on @btlradionews.bsky.social. btlonline.org/25-years-lat...

As we remember the lives lost on 9/11 and the "forever" wars that followed, we also remember Razia Jan (RIP) and Patti Quigley, who lost her husband on 9/11. They dedicated themselves to building a brighter future for Afghan girls. Featured at #911Memorial

It’s 25 years later, and 9/11 survivors and victims’ families still seek accountability, with millions of records remaining classified. Our own government’s secrecy continues to obstruct justice and hide the full truth. Watch @laurenleharper.bsky.social explain:

With a focus on the US intervention that began in 2001, the collection marks a decolonial turn in Afghanistan and American studies. We hope you can join us to mark this moment. centerforthehumanities.org/event/decolo... @dukepress.bsky.social @wazhmah.bsky.social @moustafabayoumi.bsky.social

Join us for a reading and conversation featuring writers from this groundbreaking collection, Decolonizing Afghanistan: Countering Imperial Knowledge and Power (Duke University Press; edited by Wazhmah Osman and Robert D. Crews), which is the first comprehensive volume to explore the impact of empire on Afghanistan’s past and present. We will be joined by Zohra Saed, Moustafa Bayoumi, Wazhmah Osman, and Morwari Zafar, who will share cross-disciplinary, ground-up perspectives on colonial projects in Afghanistan and paths to decolonial futures.
