Lisa Blaydes et Samuel Helfont (eds.) - Ba‘thist Iraq Through Archives Reflections, Explorations, and Opportunities À paraître en juin aux Stanford UP

It’s being read by someone named Tom Campbell. If you click on his name, you can hear samples of the other books he has narrated. Sounds pretty good to me! www.audible.com/pd/The-Iraq-...

Glad to see this important volume come to fruition- kudos to @lisablaydes.bsky.social & @samuelhelfont.bsky.social for putting us all in conversation with each other. Thrilled to have co-authored a critical chapter with @marsin.bsky.social on archival access & hierarchies of knowledge production

Now this looks like a really incredible list of chapters and contributors.

Looking forward to this.

Woot!

I reckon Ba'thist Iraq is one of the most interesting episodes in late 20th century history and the regime archives are an incredible resource. So I'm very excited about this book coming out!

Oh wow that looks incredible. That's one heck of a list of contributors! Congratulations.

Today is the day! Delighted that this is out! Co-authored with Amitav Acharya @yalepress.bsky.social 1/n yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300...

One of my favorite parts of one of my favorite books is in “To War With Whitaker” where the countess apologizes for using a hotel pen rather than a fountain pen. If you are into stodgy British irony and a wild true life woman’s WWII story, I highly recommend it. www.amazon.com/War-Whitaker...

Since I’ve had some new followers lately, I’m reposting this link to my (open access) book from OUP on the history of psychological war, and it’s geopolitical imaginations.

Hi, Bluesky! 👋 We're new here, but our collection began over 150 years ago. Follow along to learn how the 400+ year Congregational story is the American story.

While most scholars regard the advent of 2025 as chronologically over-determined, there are those who interrogate this assumption, pointing to the social constructedness of calendrical sequencing and the historical contingency of time’s flow. 🗃️

Looks really interesting!

H-Net providers an invaluable service to those of us in the humanities. It would be great to see their purview extend. That is only possible if poeple donate to this fantastic service! Please consider doing so if you haven't already. 🗃️
