On this day, 963 years ago, was the Battle of Niså.
I've been reading a lot about 11th century Northwest Europe, lately, and have come to the conclusion that Harald Hårdråde was a real røvhul.

There are many sharp insights in this piece, but the one that gladdens my #histodon heart:
"One could argue, critically or approvingly, that the country has its roots not only in Protestant Christianity but in a particular kind of Protestant Christian _dissent_, that authentic American Christianity is inherently iconoclastic, and builds its power by positioning itself against a supposedly repressive status quo. It’s easy to forget, for example, that the Puritans were not so named for abstemious moral teachings—they were actually comparatively relaxed about that sort of thing, especially in matters of sex—but for their desire to purify the Reformed church of its remaining Catholic influences."
Bonjour Masto et surtout #MastoLivre
Auriez-vous un roman (XIXe ou XXe, ou alors XXIe si c'est drôle) qui soit écrit par qqn de Lituanie ou de la région et qui concerne Vilnius ou la Lituanie?
Je prends aussi une éventuelle recommandation d'ouvrage sur l'histoire de la région si c'est pas écrit dans une perspective soviétique/russe.
Merci beaucoup !

African Heritage In Europe: Join a special screening of “Dahomey” and “If Objects Could Speak” on 24 July at 19:30, hosted by Kommunales Kino Freiburg (Urachstr. 40, 79102 Freiburg). Both films address the colonial appropriation of African cultural objects and pose vital questions about restitution, identity, and justice.
Afterwards, Dr. Kokou Azamede (Université Lomé, Togo) and filmmaker Elena Bauer will discuss these issues on a panel moderated by Dr. Richard Legay (ABI). This event is organised by our local partners and we highly recommend attending.

Liebe Historiker*innen, wer von euch kann mir denn weiterhelfen mit Expert*innen und Literatur über die Zwangsgermanisierung von Kindern, die aus Lagern verschleppt und in deutsche Familien übergeben wurden? Vor allem, aber nicht nur polnische Kinder. Und mit den Aufgaben des sog. "Rasse- und Siedlungshauptamts" in Berlin im NS?
The 1948-60 Malayan Emergency:
"The British attempted to starve the Malayan Nat'l Liberation Army (MNLA) using scorched earth policies through food rationing, killing livestock, and aerial spraying of the herbicide Agent Orange. The British engaged in extrajudicial killings of unarmed civilians, in violation of the Geneva Conventions. The most infamous example is the Batang Kali massacre, which the press has referred to as "Britain's My Lai". The Briggs Plan forcibly relocated a million civilians into concentration camps. Many Orang Asli indigenous communities were also targeted for internment because the British believed that they were supporting the communists. The widespread decapitation of people suspected to have been guerrillas led to the 1952 British Malayan headhunting scandal."
