The number of “cides” in Gaza is growing, but beyond its destruction of schools, hospitals, farmland and entire family lineages, Israel is also engaging in historicide — the destruction of history itself — argues @lsmwilson.bsky.social in @newlinesmag.bsky.social

Vanished by @sadiahqureshi.bsky.social is such an exceptional book. It traces the history of how Western scientists have understood #extinction, and the political and social implications of that thinking, including on colonial fantasies of replacing Indigenous peoples. I can't recommend it enough! 👏

“According to @sadiahqureshi.bsky.social animal extinction should not be treated as a separate historical development from human extermination.” ‼️ Brilliant as expected (& just on time for our Winter School in 🇦🇺 on Settler Colonialism, National Parks & Heritage 😉) www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Between 1927 & 1945, the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Anthropology, Human Heredity, & Eugenics was located on today's FU Berlin campus. Human remains are a reminder that scientists, some already active in the colonial era, conducted dehumanising research that lead directly to racist extinction.

Dieses Anliegen wird nicht in Vergessenheit geraten. Es wäre schön, wenn alle demokratischen Parteien ihr klares Commitment signalisieren. Der Koalitionsvertrag ist ein guter Ort der Selbstverpflichtung für schon einmal 2 Parteien...
