Only one more day left to score 40% off books from Penn State University Press (ends December 19).

One of their strengths is in the #history of #witchcraft, including translated primary sources and this wonderful book on the #WitchHunt in the #Basque region of Spain. Yes, you should expect the #SpanishInquisition, but also skepticism (from the Spanish Inquisition), the rare phenomenon of child #witches, and how local beliefs and connections shaped the experiences of the villagers in the middle of the storm. Based on fresh readings of the trial records and new archival material - yes, #historians are still making new discoveries!

Blue helmets were harmful scumbags in Haiti

Blue helmets were, essentially, anti-black racist in Rwanda and it was the Tutsi armed self-defence who were largely responsible for ending the genocide in 1994. (#historians, help me out). The blue helmets were just a small contribution to ending the violence despite refusing to rescue and evacuate the 'black' Rwandans.

So what would be the purpose of #bluehelmets in #Gaza?

Because if Israelis fuck up and start killing blue helmets, I would think that could finally sink #Likud and #Netanyahu

I don't know. I'm not an expert. What do you think?

Recommended #documentary film.

Between 1952 and 1960, Britain fought a vicious war in Kenya against the anticolonial Mau Mau movement. It was an exceptionally bloody conflict, with atrocities committed on both sides. For decades, many of the worst abuses by British colonial forces were kept hidden. Piecing together survivor testimonies and expert analysis from British and Kenyan historians, this film tells a complete and detailed story for the first time of how Britain was involved in systemic torture – including accounts of murders, rapes and forced castrations.

A Very British Way of Torture is a film by Ed McGown and produced by Rob Newman.

Unbelievable. The company MWB Two Ltd. who’s application to build on the #Bessborough grounds was refused have now put an appeal in. This was Cork City Council’s letter to @carmelcantwell — this appeal must not be allowed.

Help us save the Bessborough grounds, sign our petition — we need as many voices as possible. https://www.change.org/p/stop-future-development-on-remaining-bessborough-grounds
