Delighted about the publication of GLOBAL SOCIAL HISTORY: RETHINKING CLASS AND SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION IN THE MODERN WORLD, which I co-authored with Christof Dejung, in the Historical Journal: doi.org/10.1017/S00182…

With cutting-edge articles by Andrew Sartori, Merry E. Wiesner-Hanks, Michael Goebel, Jeroen Duindam, Stefanie Gänger, Eric Vanhaute (@eric_vanhaute), Claudia Bernardi, Francesca Fuoli (@FranFuoli), and Elisabeth Leake (@elisabeth_leake).

Heel trots op ons kraakverse boek @ertsberg! Laat je meeslepen en verrassen: Waar komt wereldgeschiedenis vandaan? Waarom werden mussen in West-Vlaanderen gedood in 1815? Waarom is er een Oostende in Argentinië? @hannecottyn @eric_vanhaute ertsberg.be/boek/energie-e…

🌍 Wat is de (on)zin van wereldgeschiedenis? U leest het in september in Energie, Emigratie en Ecologie 💡 In dit boek stellen @CottynHanne en @rdeclerc (red.) essentiële vragen. Antwoorden vinden ze in onverwachte connecties, wars van universele pretenties en eenzijdige perspectieven 🪶 West-Vlaamse mussenfeesten, boeren in Madagaskar, een Nieuw Oostende in Argentinië? De omgang van de mens met zijn omgeving staat centraal 🛜 De geschiedenis van drie mondiale thema’s komt aan bod: de ecologische crisis, het platteland in een verstedelijkte wereld en de menselijke mobiliteit ℹ️ ertsberg.be/boek/energie-e…

@eric_vanhaute @Leolucassen @Cmdty_Frontiers Dit IISG-onderzoek is gedaan met belastinggeld, lijkt me. Zet zo'n hoofdstuk dus open op Internet.

"It is well suited for students and general readers, despite my caveats, due to its wide historical range, clarity of exposition and remarkable ability to synthesize the key features of peasants in world history." And containing "a veritable Vanhaute Manifesto". 😀

Cristobal Kay reviewed my Peasants in World History in Journal of Agrarian Change. Read it here: researchgate.net/publication/37… "This book fills a major gap in the historical studies on the peasantry and agrarian change from the first peasants to the present."
