It's publication day! 🎉🥳 Very soon I won't need to post about this anymore, but in the meantime, if you're interested in the colonial roots of modern tourism, or the role of leisure travel in producing knowledge about the world, check it out. Also as e-book on JSTOR:

This was just published, also by
@urbanhistory.bsky.social
, and it's an urban history of coasts and colonialism. I look at why a series of settlements struggled to survive in Borneo from the late eighteenth century.
