Goede reden voor mijn eerste toot: op 23 februari organiseert de sectie cultuurgeschiedenis van de UU een geschiedenisconcert over politieke liederen, gebaseerd op mijn promotieonderzoek over de liedcultuur van het NLse revolutietijdvak! 🤓 Meer informatie en kaartverkoop: https://epglab.sites.uu.nl/2023/01/03/geschiedenisconcert-revolutie-lied-en-politiek-uit-het-muzikale-geheugen-van-nederland/

Today we recorded our very first podcast episode all about digital history, communication and Wikipedia with Dr. Heidi Tworek - coming in the new year! 🎙️
'Christmas was not like other holidays. It didn’t want to run in the streets, dance in the public squares, straddle wooden horses,
take advantage of the crowd to pinch women, throw fireworks into the faces of the tamarind trees.
Christmas had agoraphobia.What it wanted was a whole day of bustling, preparing, a cooking and cleaning spree...'
Aimé Césaire (1969 [1956]), Return to my native Land (Penguin Books), pp. 43-44
‘Far from its Indigenous Central American origins, enslaved Africans, labouring on new plantations in Latin America and later in west Africa, grew much of the cacao that fed the expanding global market. For makers and consumers, chocolate developed vivid connections to class, gender and race. Chocolate became an evocative shorthand for blackness.’

‘The early encounter of Africa with Europe was not commercial involving the exchange of commodities, but rather the unilateral looting of human resources. African slavery was neither a trade, nor a mode of production. It was simply a robbery of a people on a continental scale perpetrated over four centuries through force of arms.’
Issa G. Shivji, Accumulation in an African Periphery. A Theoretical Framework (2009, Mkuki na Nyota Publishers), p. 55

@eharlitzkern, I think what unites all the contributions to this debate is exactly that none of the authors really know what European is. 🤣
And all of us whose research focus is outside "The Big Three", as Erla Hulda Halldórsdóttir put it (https://europedebate.hypotheses.org/885), seem equally frustrated...
My contribution to 'Why Europe, Which Europe? A Debate on Contemporary European History as a Field of Research' is now online: https://europedebate.hypotheses.org/1394
(i.e. my usual rants against engrained historiographical hierarchies ... but this time in writing.)
