Historian exploring transimperial and forced migration issues. Spent ten years reseraching, writing, and publishing Colonial Internationalism and the Governmentality of Empire (CUP 2022). Eager to learn more.
in the elite circles of the US, racism is treated less as a matter of social stratification with direct implications for political stakes and more as a matter of moral etiquette. it is even more notable, then, that this administration can't constrain themselves to the meager associated standards

Sayad's work is so good and I wish it found a broader audience both inside and outside the Francophone world. Thinking the Irish emigration experience through Sayad would be fascinating.
Currently re-reading Abdelmalek #Sayad for an article.
Keep on being amazed by how many of his observations of French society in the late 1980s seem still so fresh & timely.

Really moving find in Dakar archives today. A letter from Sira Sangare asking the Minister of the Colonies to intervene to help find out what happened to her son. He had been mobilised in May 1916 but all trace of him vanished in the autumn of 1918. No record was found to confirm his fate.
