Before I head out for the day ->
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.

The Broader Push to Rewrite #History.

Israel's assault on #Palestinian #heritage goes beyond fabricated #archaeological narratives—it’s a #systematic effort to erase history and consolidate control. Here are more key aspects of the campaign:

#Looting of #WestBank #Antiquities :

For decades, #Israel has #exploited the occupied territories' rich archaeological sites, #smuggling thousands of #artifacts to build its #colonial narrative. The new bill seeks to #institutionalize this #theft, granting #extremist officials unchecked authority over excavation and #HeritagePreservation in Palestinian areas.

The Role of the Israeli Antiquities Authority:

Under the guise of #AcademicResearch, the #IsraeliAntiquitiesAuthority frequently removes artifacts from the West Bank, exhibiting them in Israeli #museums without acknowledging their Palestinian origins. This process not only strips Palestinians of their #cultural history but also bolsters Israel’s claim to the land.

Settler-Led Excavations:

Settler organizations like #Elad are at the forefront of #illegal excavations, particularly in East #Jerusalem. These digs disrupt Palestinian neighborhoods, displace families, and create #tourist sites glorifying biblical narratives while erasing the #multicultural history of the region.

Linking Settlements to #BiblicalClaims:

Israeli settlement expansion is increasingly tied to archaeological claims. By declaring areas with supposed biblical significance, such as #Hebron or #Shiloh as part of #Jewish heritage, the #llegalOccupation justifies #annexation and denies Palestinians access to their land.

The International Fallout:

Despite warnings from Israeli #archaeologists and global institutions, the government continues its #unilateral moves. If the bill passes, Israel risks severe isolation, as #CulturalTheft violates international conventions, including #UNESCO protection of #CulturalHeritage during conflicts.

These moves are not just an assault on history—they are an extension of the colonial project, reshaping the narrative to legitimize an occupation that erases Palestinian identity. The stakes go beyond antiquities; they encompass the right of a people to their past, present, and future.

#historians of #science and #computing, lately I've been seeing today's critics of AI suggesting the #intelligence in #artificialIntelligence can be more usefully understood as belonging in the framework of nation-state intelligence gathering.

Is there any indication that the founders of the field intended such an interpretation, or blurring of the definition of intelligence? The field was founded at the height of the #ColdWar after all.

#histodons #HistoryOfTechnology #PhilosophyOfAI

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

Walter Rodney, un historien engagé (1942-1980) by Amzat Boukari-Yabara

Ce livre analyse la vie et l’œuvre de l’historien et homme politique de Guyana, Walter Rodney (1942-1980), ses années de formation, ses influences, son idéologie, et son action politique.

Alors que Rodney a fait l’objet d’une demi-douzaine de monographies en anglais, cet ouvrage est le premier travail en français consacré à cet historien anglophone. Il s’adresse autant à un public universitaire travaillant sur les mondes africains qu’à un public « militant » engagé sur les questions de développement et de luttes sociales.
