You probably already know but just in case you were not aware there is lots of material on African thinkers, activists, movements etc in Marxists.org , see www.marxists.org/subject/afri...

"A Pan-African couple:" @elarabertho.bsky.social's great book on Miriam Makeba (South African singer-activist) and Stokely Carmichael (Trinidadian-US theorist-activist of Black Power) in Guinea both challenges and inspires scholarship on the 'Global Sixties.' www.tandfonline.com/eprint/QCSCM...

Here's how to fix this AI-attack, presumably at least (see screenshot) - although it does not solve the more general problem of handing over your work to a rather dubious for-profit organization whose account I have not had the heart to delete (yet).

Seriously, fuck off. I say that with all due gravity.

"Global Histories of the Portuguese Revolution," @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social, eds. Luís Trindade, Rita Lucas Narra, Ricardo Noronha, @pramospinto.bsky.social. An awesome book! Have a chapter in there that writes the "retornados" aka decolonization, Cold War, and refugeeness back into the picture.

I will be there! Maybe you will, too?

#BD Dans les années 1970, une maison d'édition se lance dans la réalisation de biographies de dirigeants africains sous forme de bandes dessinées. Sauf que les scénarios ne reflètent pas toujours la réalité historique... C’est la naissance d’Afrique Biblio Club. Par @kalidousy.bsky.social ⬇️

🚨Attention Global Sixties scholars:🚨A typical French handwriting in the mail is always a good omen. Here, it announced the arrival of @elarabertho.bsky.social’s exciting new book “A Pan-African Couple: Miriam Makeba and Stokely Carmichael in Guinea”. Looking forward to reading!

"Building Nations, Making Worlds, Creating Subjects: European Languages in Postcolonial Africa" is the megalomaniac title for the presentation of my research project at @sdu.dk (host: @christiandp.bsky.social) that is still very much work in progress and a fragile flower. Join us if you are around!

Absolutely delighted about the publication of GLOBALIZING EUROPE: A HISTORY (Cambridge University Press): www.cambridge.org/.../globaliz... via @cambridgeup.bsky.social

Hello! If you know a thing or two about Google's Ngram viewer, please help! I was wondering how I can ngram not a single search term (ex.: "modernization"), or a combination of two (ex.: "modernization theory"), but instead a combination of three or more (ex: "us modernization theory")?

🚨Global history & language. Amazing workshop coming up!! 🚨 (Unfortunately, I won’t apply myself 😔 - blame Norway’s ‘fellesferie’ in July! 😖)

New review of my book "Postcolonial People. The Return from Africa and the Remaking of Portugal" by Sofie De Baere. It comes with some well-deserved criticism and much praise, e.g.: "Kalter possesses the invaluable skill of making complex processes comprehensible." brill.com/view/journal...

“Reparations for Settlers?” ... is the clickbait title of my latest (and possibly also my last) journal article on postcolonial Portugal in a European context, published in the e-Journal of Portuguese History @degruyterbrill.bsky.social. Screenshot of abstract attached. brill.com/view/journal...

Calendrier de l’avent 25 avril 12/25 Pendant la dictature, le Portugal n’entretenait pas de relations diplomatiques avec de nombreux pays d’Europe de l’Est, d’Afrique et d’Asie. A l’ONU, le Portugal devient, au fil des années 1960-70, pendant les guerres coloniales, un pays paria

This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.
