@ook_wow I'm just south of you in Fort Collins (working at UNC in Greeley) -- would be great to connect with other departments in the area!

Are you a historian? Are you able to come to Laramie, WY this month to talk about your research (expenses paid + an honorarium)? If you are interested in this exciting, madcap opportunity to help me spend a pot of money before it is lit on fire, get in touch!

Start your week with Alvita Akiboh's (@yale_history) article: "Empire's Embezzlers: Fraud and Scandal in U.S.-Occupied Cuba, 1900–1902." doi.org/10.1017/mah.20… And congratulations on her book! It considers the role that flags, stamps, and currency played in US imperialism.

A few months in the making... & now finally ready: The Anti-Colonial Research Library hosts 400+ open-access articles and books, websites, YouTube videos on practical examples of Indigenous and anti-colonial research methodologies. Use and share widely! anticolonialresearchlibrary.org

Rick Scott is an anti-choice extremist. I’m a mom, a Latina immigrant, and I’m the Democrat who will defeat him. The latest polling has me winning, but only by 1 point. Will you join our campaign? secure.actblue.com/donate/dmp_soc…

Are you curious about how “global history” understands African intellectuals, and how global history narratives might be challenged if we pay closer attention to their thought? Check out this new publication from our PhD graduate and former fellow Caitlin Monroe!

@NyangireUg @GlobalEAfrica Thanks so very much!!

@OnlineCrsLady @_MattShaw @internetarchive Thank you so very much!! So happy it was helpful and also so glad you’re looking into his folktales more. Happy to discuss further anytime!

@cc_monroe @_MattShaw @internetarchive just finished reading: I cannot thank you enough! Nyabongo is one of the African folktale book authors who most tantalized me, and you have filled in so many gaps in my knowledge about him here, while connecting him with so many other persons along the way: THANK YOU. wonderful!

very excited about a book that has flown across the ocean from a used bookstore in Devon England to rural North Carolina...and now I just need to patiently wait to get my hands on volume 1. you can read Nyabongo's "Winds and Lights" at @InternetArchive! archive.org/details/nyabon…

@_MattShaw @OnlineCrsLady @internetarchive Thanks so much and thank you for your help!

@shadle_brett Yes indeed — thank you!

@cc_monroe Nyabongo was also active in the pro-Ethiopian movement, Ethiopian World Federation, in the late 1930s bu.edu/phpbin/ijahs/p…
