The yearbook of the GHI Rome Rome, rather austerely called Quellen und Forschungen aus italienischen Archiven und Bibliotheken, has published some of my thoughts on how to write European colonial history, moving away from national narratives. Here is some recommended reading for a rainy weekend 😁

I'm excited to see that @routledgehistory.bsky.social has published an expanded version of the special issue, 'The Cold War of Labour Migrants'. In it, my article, 'From anti-imperialism to multiculturalism' explores the global intellectual history of migrant activists in 1970s France.

🧵 Poiché in Italia Jeffrey Sachs viene spesso presentato come una sorta di oracolo, un’autorità morale e scientifica, credo sia utile ricordare cosa pensi in realtà la comunità accademica internazionale dei suoi interventi nel dibattito pubblico.

Lettera degli economisti sul caso Jeffrey Sachs
Prima di riascoltarlo in TV, vale la pena leggere cosa scrissero gli economisti nel 2023: una lettera aperta, ignorata dai media italiani, che smonta una per una le sue tesi sull’Ucraina.

I spent the morning walking around Charlottenburg, Berlin, tracing the sites of Indian anticolonialism. This was the location of the Indian Independence Committee during the First World War.
