It’s focused more on fascist regimes of diplomacy, but Christian Goeschel’s “Performing the New Order” in Contemporary European History (2024) is also quite good

The first few months are really frustrating. I was down to a soft brace after 4 months and just tennis shoes another 6 weeks after that. Take it slow because you don’t want to rush it and then screw it up even more.
I would say that it’s at about 90% after three years. It still twinges at times (today was not a good day) but I also did some pretty severe damage to the major tendons in my ankle
That’s what I did a few years ago and I can confirm that it is an unpleasant experience - do you need surgical repair?
Oh no! Broken ankles are the worst. Hope it’s a relatively straightforward recovery
I'm pleased to announce the first *virtual* event in a speaker series I'm organizing on New Histories of Fascism, Nazi Germany, and the Holocaust: Federico Marcon on his new book, "Fascism: The History of a Word" @uchicagopress.bsky.social

Absolutely delighted about the publication of UNCONQUERED STATES (Oxford University Press), which looks at the global history of non-European powers in the imperial age.
Practically speaking race was made a non-issue after 1935 and the alliance was sold to the German public as a geopolitical project

@waitmanwbeorn.com thanks for the shout out! Like most things, the simple answer is that there was never a consensus within Nazism about how to categorize the Japanese racially and so depending on who:which org you’re looking at the answer can vary a lot.
I’d like to be added please!
Faculty: we need more TT lines, better pay for grad students & support staff, research funds & money for the libraries
Chancellors: what I’m hearing is you want us to pay a consulting firm to do a climate survey, launch a new LMS, redo the uni website, & make every class hybrid
