Brilliant round table online ahead of print from @frenchhistory.bsky.social on “Colonisations: notre histoire”, a history in reverse of France and empire, written by 268 contributors (!!!) doi.org/10.1093/fh/c... 🗃️

To summarize, the landscape of academia, just like the rest of the global political economy, is marked by a huge fracture engendered by colonialism that continues to operate as well as mutate. This book observes it and attempts to address it, but it is not in itself sufficient repair. We hope that it will act as a preliminary point d'étape in what remains an incomplete process of trying to produce a genuinely global form of knowledge that can help us navigate our shared, divided, burning world.
