It is a nice way to finish the semester / the year of research to see my article on the Welsh Anti-Apartheid Movement now published. It identifies how cultural and national factors specific to Wales shaped the different forms of activism during the 1980s #abstract" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

We've been quiet as an account for a little while (sorry!), but we are delighted to promote that SCGH members @SAhistoryMatt & @ChrisFevre have had an article published by @JSAS_Editors on the local elements of the British Anti-Apartheid. Available OA 👇 doi.org/10.1080/030570…

M Graham & C Fevre examine the local dimensions of the global anti-apartheid movement, using the British AAM as a case study to explain how anti-apartheid politics at the grassroots was shaped by its interactions with the local economic, political, social & cultural environment.

Also, a massive shout out to @SAhistoryMatt for driving this article forward whilst I was getting to grips with a new career. Do check out our latest article on the Anti-Apartheid Movement in @JSAS_Editors now! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Based on previously unused Zambian archival sources, Mutale Mazimba's article uncovers the lives of the Mtenga-Tenga, African porters in the British Army in World War I, and the effect this had on relations with chiefs & communities at home. @MazimbaT tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10……

Postdoc opportunity at UFS. This is a good department.

Read how local anti-apartheid groups all over Britain took up local issues in their fight against apartheid #antiapartheidlegacy #ACTSA_UK #AntiApartheidMovementScottishCommittee aamarchives.org/blog/local-ant…

Mwayi Lusaka's new article shows how the memory & mythology of David Livingstone have been preserved & reconstructed to enhance international co-operation between #Malawi & #Scotland in what could be understood as ‘heritage diplomacy’. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

I'm very proud that today marks the release of my first book, Credit, Currency and Capital - the first dedicated to the #Scottish #Financialrevolution Thank you to @JimLivesey1 and @estaitis for their support. And to @dundeeuni and @RoutledgeHist routledge.com/Credit-Currenc…

Very sorry to hear of the death of former Sheffield councillor Mike Pye. He chaired UK Local Authorities Against Apartheid from 1984 to 1994 and led groundbreaking work on the boycott of South Africa, captured recently in an oral history project with @ChrisFevre @UFSweb RIP Mike

@animalhistorian @dundeeuni Thanks, Michael. Perhaps, this could be an alternative career path

@ChrisFevre @dundeeuni Wow! Congrats Chris and Matt. You look great on camera!

After dropping a few teasers in April/May, you can now watch the full version of the short film that @SAhistoryMatt and I made with @Historic_Ally about Dundee's connections to the anti-apartheid struggle and Nelson Mandela #mandela #solidarity #dundee youtube.com/watch?v=Wu7_Rt…

It was brilliant to start setting up the Scotland, Global Solidarity and Mandela exhibition in @dundeeuni Tower Foyer with @UoD_Museums. The boards and various anti-apartheid artifacts from South Africa and the UK will be on display until 16 December!

"Make it Happen! – Scotland’s Mandela Statue" Crowdfunder now live at bit.ly/MandelaCrowd for the £20,000 we still need to create and install the statue in Mandela Place, Glasgow as a permanent focus for education and information. RTs welcome - Please spread the word!

@nicholasggrant @SAhistoryMatt Chris Hughton was vocal about his opposition to footballers and others who took significant financial inducements to play in SA during the 1980s. He also spoke at some anti-apartheid events. He featured quite a lot in the research we did. Perhaps we will need to revisit it...

On this day, 12 June 1988, we held a huge rally in Glasgow Green addressed by O.R Tambo and launched the "Free Mandela" march to London @mandelasmf @nelsonmandela @PentonStreetCML

@ClementMasakure @mininghistory @BritishAcademy_ @HistosaurusBex Strong agree!

@mininghistory @ChrisFevre @BritishAcademy_ Yes, pity @HistosaurusBex and I could not make it.

Slowly recharging the batteries after a fantastic trip to Lusaka last week to run our @BritishAcademy_ writing workshop. Having been postponed since 2020, it was great to finally meet everyone and discuss various facets of the journal article and grant writing process
