I’m incredibly excited that our book '#Postcoloniality and Forced #Migration’ is finally out @BrisUniPress, co-edited with wonderful @lembergpedersen @NinaSahraoui @LucyMayblin @smfett ! bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/postcolonialit… @IKRS_no 👀🧵

Once upon a time, the idea that academia might destroy capitalism did not seem so absurd. In Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy (1942), Joseph Schumpeter argued that the expansion of higher education would lead to the emergence of an underemployed academic precariat. 1/16

p.s. I’ll be pursuing this hypothesis further in my Substack, which you can follow here: thepoorrichworld.substack.com.

At a conference panel yesterday, someone said that France's 5th Republic was born through a military coup. Apparently this historical interpretation is shared by Mali's ruling military authorities foreignpolicy.com/2024/12/13/mal…

Hello friends, I am happy to share that a new book from @inkanibooks edited by me has just been published! The book, titled Can Africans Do Economics?, examines the intersection of economic development and freedom across the Africa. Drawing on the powerful ideas of former African leaders such as Thomas Sankara and Julius Nyerere, this book explores their belief in the inseparable link between political independence and economic progress. With a powerful introduction from @vijayprashad and informed by the scholarship of economists Grieve Chelwa, @MarionOuma , @redgenkosi, @cleopas_sambo and @nssylla , Can Africans Do Economics? redefines development as a process of emancipation, not simply economic growth. Combining historical context with forward-thinking policy proposals this book presents an urgent case for transformative policies grounded in African realities, and rejecting foreign-led interventions on the continent. The book is published by @inkanibooks , a people’s movement-driven publishing house in Johannesburg, South Africa. You can order the book here: inkanibooks.co.za/product/can-af… Lots of gratitude to Efemia Christiana, Inkani’s Managing Editor, for her magic touch in seeing this project through to conclusion.

@mhochmueller @FU_Berlin @LatStudien_FU @NHuanacune @jedelga I would be very interested in reading Jorge Delgado’s paper

The public programme of the social sciences research colloquium at @FU_Berlin Institute for Latin American Studies starts this week. I am looking forward to exciting talks over the next four months. Everyone welcome to join!

Excited to share my new IMR article: "The Struggle Over Mobility Narratives". It dives into how Senegalese activists use alternative information campaigns to challenge EU externalization in West Africa. @EFFEXT_project @diisdk journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/01…

My first book talk is next week so it's a good time to promote my book on #policing in #Venezuela, out February 2025, which makes four contributions to current convos on #policing #criminalgovernance and #politics in Latin America 🧵 (en inglés y español) global.oup.com/academic/produ…

Unsurprisingly, @vonderleyen is bent on pushing through the decade-old euro-wish for #externalization via so-called “#returnhubs” But this “innovation” counters previous @EU_Commission stances and risk “failing fast” - at the expense of migrant rights and geopolitical cave-ins

Happy to have contributed to the @ROAPEjournal 50th anniversary issue with the article below (in OA) where I offer an alternative account of coups in #Africa by examining the role of #Imperialism and the prevalence of (neoliberal) 'choiceless democracies'. scienceopen.com/hosted-documen…

Why do East Germans vote for the far-right AfD? We may have a new answer. It turns out, East Germans misperceive the grievances *other* citizens hold. The good news: if you tell East Germans that grievances are not as bad, AfD vote intentions go down. Here’s the experiment we ran

Last week, @SveinungSandbe1 (@IKRS_no) and I presented at #Eurocrim2024. A Q&A comment stood out: "We already know the emotions of these men." I disagree. Not only do we not know that much, we still medicalise IPV or reduce it to "poor communication skills," missing the bigger🖼️

The flag of al-Qaeda linked JNIM planted on what looks like the roof of Bamako airport, following today attack

Hearing a JNIM commander's pre-attack vows uttered in the Bambara language (albeit larded with pious Arabic invocations) is jarring for many Bamako residents, who associate jihadist militancy more with Fulbe, Tamashek, and Arabic speakers than with Bambara speakers like them.

Wow!
