My review of @carolinesequin.bsky.social's excellent, award-winning book Desiring Whiteness is out! www.berghahnjournals.com/view/journal... @berghahnbooks.bsky.social

Great @theconversation.com Q&A by @carolinesequin.bsky.social on her award-winning "Desiring Whiteness" that "explores the intertwined histories of commercial sex work and racial politics in France and the French colonial empire, particularly in Senegal."

My book, Desiring Whiteness, was awarded the 2025 Alf Andrew Heggoy prize for best book in French colonial history (1815-present)! In a world that is falling apart, I cherish this bit of happy news and hope for brighter days ahead for all.

Tips to keep democracy alive in 2025:

1. Be Brave. Avoid helpless/hopeless talk. Authoritarians want you to feel powerless because it makes their work easier. Courage, faith, and optimism are essential. Fascism feeds on cynicism and pessimism. Starve it.
