Un couple panafricain: Miriam Makeba et Stokely Carmichael en Guinรฉe Published in The Global Sixties: An Interdisciplinary Journal (Ahead of Print, 2025)

"A Pan-African couple:" @elarabertho.bsky.social's great book on Miriam Makeba (South African singer-activist) and Stokely Carmichael (Trinidadian-US theorist-activist of Black Power) in Guinea both challenges and inspires scholarship on the 'Global Sixties.' www.tandfonline.com/eprint/QCSCM...

Here's how to fix this AI-attack, presumably at least (see screenshot) - although it does not solve the more general problem of handing over your work to a rather dubious for-profit organization whose account I have not had the heart to delete (yet).

Join Adam Shatz, Emilia Roig, and me for a conversation about Frantz Fanon, violence, and decolonization.

Ouch. Being a rock/pop/jazz star is dangerous business, decidedly. So much is clear from your series of posts.

"Global Histories of the Portuguese Revolution," @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social, eds. Luรญs Trindade, Rita Lucas Narra, Ricardo Noronha, @pramospinto.bsky.social. An awesome book! Have a chapter in there that writes the "retornados" aka decolonization, Cold War, and refugeeness back into the picture.

"Building Nations, Making Worlds, Creating Subjects: European Languages in Postcolonial Africa" is the megalomaniac title for the presentation of my research project at @sdu.dk (host: @christiandp.bsky.social) that is still very much work in progress and a fragile flower. Join us if you are around!

The argument? By placing the returnees in their trans:national contexts, I show how decolonization reshaped Western European societies: their demographic makeup; citizenship and welfare state; notions of the national community; political communication and memories.

A study of #decolonization & #migration, it looks at the history & memory of โ€˜#retornados,โ€™ i.e., settlers returning from #Portugalโ€™s African colonies after the 1974 Carnation Revolution.
