The first sources of the history of the people and regions that have been colonized, exploited, invaded, and stolen are oral and verbal sources. These are the primary sources; oral information passed from person to person explains what information has survived, as colonial records often silence or override them.

ECHOES OF HISTORY (THEN AND NOW):
Ranke: Primary sources and objectivity.
Modern historians: Sure — but whose story got archived?
History isn’t neutral. It’s contested ground.

My friend @queerwriter put together this amazing project!
You Are Here – peer to peer survivor writing – is Jet's second survivor writers platform; building on the first: Playing With Fire which took place in 2021.
You Are Here offered an expanded series of workshops, a survivor writers group, and a series of interviews for the Wellcome Collection archives.
You can check out the zine, creative pieces produced by the writers group and interviews here: https://jetmoon.org/you-are-here/

In the second part of Workers and Empire, Christopher Reid surveys the relationships between working class revolts in the centre and the periphery of the British empire, and draws lessons from George Padmore, CLR James, and George Orwell.

3/x Methodisch mussten die Aktivist*innen neue Wege gehen, denn in Archiven oder Museen waren ihre Spuren nicht gesammelt oder gar gezielt „vergessen“ worden. Die #oralhistory erlebte so eine ihrer Sternstunden, aber auch die #materialhistory oder die #historyfrombelow.
Join us THIS SATURDAY, July 6 at 3pm, for this official book release party! We'll be discussing episodes in Georgia's most radical history. Refreshments will be served!

A hero of my younger self just passed away. Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie showed us that we need not rely on the perspective of emperors and kings to understand our past.
#HistoryFromBelow #Montaillou
One major part of my scholarly trajectory -- & a real paradigm shift in how I think about & approach history -- was reading LeRoy Ladurie as part of a class at Smith College 20 years ago. The philosophy of the Annales school on "history from above" & the emphasis on doing long, meticulous dives into any & all extant records focused on a place is, perhaps, the origin of my current focus on biographical data & pushing back against established historiography. #historyfrombelow #scholarlytraining

The most interesting thing about history is not about what happened long ago, but what it says about who we are right now.
