Wholesale transferring of dehumanised peoples deemed disposable to regions deemed less worthy is not just a Nazi idea. It's also a colonial idea, predating Nazism. Your reminder, along with concentration camps, that Nazism & British Empire had significant ideological overlaps.

So pleased to be featured alongside @maxpinckers in this issue.
The Mau Mau uprising remains one of the key early liberation movements against European colonialism on the African continent. Rose Miyonga (@RMiyonga) describes how the liberated Kenyan land has never been redistributed equally and it continues to bear the colonial scars today.

"The lawsuit by @MCzerwienski, @LiliaKilburn, and @amulyamandava ... may present an opportunity for this generation to begin to forge a new model for academia, in which solidarity isn’t just about protecting one’s powerful friends."

Rest in power, bell hooks. You taught me so much: about embodied scholarship, about radical love, about revolutionary life. I feel so grateful and so sad.

It's happening in front of our eyes: the stifling of democracy in the UK, with even more dictator's powers being slipped into the Police Bill. Yet the entire Establishment looks the other way. We must fight this as if our lives depend on it. They might.

Whilst attention is focused on Allegra Stratton’s tearful resignation, only minutes ago, the Tories have forced through Nationality & Borders Bill that will cause immense human suffering to some of the most vulnerable people in society. Shameful. Our country is better than this.

I knew this was coming from the moment Shamima Begum was stripped of her British citizenship despite the fact that she is UK born & doesn't have dual nationality with Bangladesh. Citizenship should be an absolute and not conditional. Are us people of colour conditional Brits now?
Nationality and Borders Bill: Two in five people (6 million British citizens) from an ethnic minority background in England and Wales may become eligible to be stripped of their citizenship without warning under new plans proposed by the government.

When the British came here they treated us like animals. They abused us saying that we Africans are domesticated gibbons and mannequins, that we have all the characteristics of human beings but suffer from academic inferiority.

This documentary project titled Unhistories departs from the Hanslope Disclosure in which British colonial archives were destroyed, hidden and manipulated.
