My new book is available to download for free at the link below. It is about the history of Turkish migration to Germany, and it deals with many of the issues we are facing today (immigration, far-right extremism, Islamophobia, policymakers’ attempts to expel minority populations). 👇👇👇

Today while digging for something I came across this, hmm:

“The technique of acquiring dictatorship over what has been a democracy has been familiar since Greek times, and always involves the same mixture of bribery, propaganda, and violence”
Bertrand Russell, Power: A New Social Analysis (1938)

Eight weeks ago, I jokingly imagined a podcast where scholars could (expertly) hate on historical figures. Almost 100,000 people thought it was a good idea.

I am so incredibly excited to announce that the first episodes of my brand new show This Guy Sucked will be released March 20th!

My books finally arrived! Very grateful to the team at @cambridgeup.bsky.social for the superb production and supporting the project.
Thinking today of the late David Fitzpatrick who began this project and to whom it is dedicated, and also of my mother who would have loved to see it in print.

Really striking image of West African women travelling with a contingent of tirailleurs to the front at Kenifra in Morocco in July 1914, part of the Greater War. Can we and should we consider these women and the thousands like them across African speres of conflict as veterans after the war?

Pure Monday today, a day for kite flying. On this day in 1963 youth members of Bertrand Russell Association in GR flew kites with the Peace symbol but were pursued by the police, as it was seen as communist propaganda. Calling for nuclear disarmament, they inspired Theodorakis to compose his “Kites”
