I wrote a short tribute for Everyday Muslim on the importance of Ghee Bowman's scholarship on Muslim and South Asian contribution to Britains war effort in WW2.
There is much more to be said. My condolences to his family and loved ones.

Just received my authors copy. Great to see my translated article “Colonialisme et Coran” in print. With a depiction of Napoleon reading the Qur’an on the cover page which reflects the beginning of my essay. 🙌🏽

Full house yesterday at the book launch of @mihatsch.bsky.social „Shifting
Sovereignities" @shiftingsovs.bsky.social at @jesuscollegecam.bsky.social and @camhistory.bsky.social. As Jeremy Adelman mentioned yesterday, it provides a global history to the current fraught moment in global politics.

Happy that my chapter on "Colonialism and the Qur'ān" was recently published in the volume ‘The European Qurʾān: Encounters with the Holy Text of Islam from the Ninth to the Twentieth Century,’ with @degruyterbrill.bsky.social
