@AnsoumanaDasyl2 Undo Mayo" Le Gouverneur de Ziguinchor a encore frappé contre le Tourisme local en Casamance... Est-il possible de choisir nos Gouverneurs, comme nous choisissons nos Maires ? Sem @PR_Diomaye Pm @SonkoOfficiel @GeneralJBTine @GuyMariusSagna x.com/Akandijack_cHb…

Manifestation à Cabrousse : plusieurs jeunes ont pris d’assaut le chemin qui mène à la plage ce Mercredi Matin. Face aux gendarmes, ils dénoncent l’arrêté interdisant la tenue de ‘’Undo Mayo’’. Une délégation des organisateurs reçue en ce moment avec le gourverneur de région.

@Akandijack_cHb @awenengo @KarthalaEdition Merci, @Akandijack

Vous voulez connaître l'histoire de la Casamance, ce n' est pas que @awenengo "L'Idée de la Casamance autonome" avec @KarthalaEdition (qui obtient d'ailleurs une "systémique" promotion). Waow, tout le monde le veut et vivement le format e-book @KarthalaEdition 🫡 Mais sinon, il y a aussi d'excellentes recherches comme ... @CLabruneBadiane “Le pari de l’école. Une histoire de l’institution scolaire en Casamance (1860-1960)”, 2022 @HemispheresEdit @mark_deets "A Country of Defiance. Mapping the Casamance in Senegal" @OhioUnivPress #RenéCapainBassene "Casamance. Récits d'un conflit oublié (1982-2014)" avec @HarmattanParis En ce 21e S. on ne peut pas interdire un livre, même pas "Pétrole et gaz au Sénégal: chronique d'une spoliation" dont j'ai failli être l'éditeur 🫵🏾 Vive les historienNEs ... SEM @PR_Diomaye Moy PM @SonkoOfficiel Yep yep yep fire 🔥

@Akandijack_cHb @awenengo @KarthalaEdition L'ouvrage de Philippe Meguelle dont le titre est suffisamment explicite puisqu'il convient de s'arrêter là.

@Akandijack_cHb @awenengo @KarthalaEdition J'ajoute le classique livre de Christian Roche qui rend compte du processus tardif et difficile de colonisation de la Casamance et suggère ainsi les dynamiques historiques singulières qui en ont decoulé. @KarthalaEdition

Un jour de plus de détention injustifiée, s'ajoute à 6 ans d'injustice pour Capain Bassène - Sign the Petition! chng.it/FbVnLcbDVp via @Change

Excellent news: Prof. @mark_deets is the new director of the Center for American Studies and Research at @AUC. “We put the ‘America’ in the American University of Cairo,” Deets said. auccaravan.com/?p=13898

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Director at Center for American Studies and Research (CASAR)! lnkd.in/dxqe8D9d

I think that my fellow academics and I have a lot more to worry about with this quickly developing AI than we do with Zoom classrooms. #academia #history #ai #professor lnkd.in/dtC8RW3e

What a huge upset!!! espn.com/college-sports…

@FrankGerits No hurry, bro.

@mark_deets Thanks! I still owe you an e-mail! But it will happen no worries :-)

📣PUBLICATION DAY! '📣 The Ideological Scramble for Africa' is based on documents from 46 archives on 3 continents. It shows how the pursuit of anticolonial modernity, not Cold War competition, shaped international relations in the 1950s and 1960s. Ask your library to buy it!
