Crossing Continents by Heather J. Sharkey, 2026 uses the lens of global microhistory to explore how the Nile Valley intersected with the wider world over the 19th and 20th centuries.
Instead of focusing on sweeping macro-narratives, massive armies, or treaties, the book reconstructs the highly mobile lives of six unique individuals (and even objects/animals) to trace how ideas, cultures, and people collided across borders.

Because of my recent “peasant-mania” („Chłopomania” in Polish) obsession, I discovered something called Urzecze some time ago. I came across it while digging into the genealogy of my ancestors. On both sides of my family - my mother’s and my father’s - it turned out that our ancestors were Urzeczanie, and the region where my family has lived “forever” is actually a historical microregion called Urzecze.
Urzecze is a forgotten Warsaw/sub-Warsaw microregion stretching from the area of Mokotów all the way to Góra Kalwaria. Its culture was revived by Dr. Maurycy Stanaszek (Polish anthropologist, historian, and researcher).
When I learned about this region, I contacted Dr. Stanaszek and shared my family tree with him, which confirmed my earlier suspicions. I also gave him the oldest family photographs I managed to find at home.
Suddenly, I realized that some old family house was actually a typical example of Urzecze architecture, or that my grandfather making a living in his youth by weaving wicker baskets and fishing in the Vistula River was also a very typical Urzecze occupation. Some expressions I remembered older people using in my childhood turned out to be part of the Urzecze dialect.
These people were deeply connected to the Vistula River - and back then, the Vistula was basically a highway. They made their living through fishing, river transport, and draining wetlands along the riverbanks, something they had done for centuries. And most of them were actually… immigrants.
They arrived here by sailing down the Vistula at the end of the 17th century from areas that are now Latvia, Estonia, Finland, northern Germany, Western Pomerania, Pomerania, and the Netherlands. They knew how to drain marshlands, so the Polish nobility hired them on contracts. They lived under Olęder law and were free people.
One beautiful thing about Urzecze was how open it was - you only had to settle there to become one of them ❤️
And somehow, all of this was forgotten. Why? It feels as if the generation born after World War II completely cut itself off from this culture.
I honestly feel like I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole 😂 but at the same time, it’s such an amazing adventure. Last weekend, I went to the Urzecze Festival to learn more about the culture. It was a pretty surreal experience, because some of the traditions presented there reminded me of my childhood at my grandparents’ house (they also lived in Urzecze, on the same street as my parents, just a few houses away).
I’m definitely going to keep digging into this history. I still have several Urzecze festivals ahead of me, as well as other events connected more broadly with traditional peasant culture. I’ll definitely come back with more fun facts 😂
I also already have a few ideas for projects connected to all of this. I’m completely obsessed at this point - and I need to make use of it 😂
I’m attaching a photo showing women wearing traditional Urzecze folk costumes.
Like this post please if you found it interesting - I’ll know there’s someone here who wants to read more of this stuff :P

The Violent Truth About Israel's Expulsion of Palestinians in 1948 Is Nothing New
[...] The headline misses the mark. Palestinians told the "true story" of '48 long before these documents surfaced. The essence of that story has always been clear: the Hebrew army expelled them intentionally, and one of the means it employed was acts of murder and massacre.
[...] The subheadline does not fully align with the article itself: Raz mentions Palestinian prose literature and studies – by Saleh Abd al-Jawad and Adel Manna – based on oral testimonies. Those studies and literary works, even if published after the Nakba, drew on firsthand knowledge of what had occurred. That knowledge came from hundreds of thousands of people who experienced the events as they unfolded.
[...] Documents – especially those produced by the exploiting and profiting party, by the expeller and the massacre – add crucial detail. They allow for precision: the sequence of events, dates, types of weapons and ammunition, the names of those who gave orders, and the motives and objectives as defined by their authors. But to present such documents as if they alone reveal the truth – or as if truth exists only once they surface – is to grant the perpetrator the exclusive first and last word in determining what the true story is.

My grandma died a week ago :( been visiting people, organising ceremonies, supporting my familly, etc. for the last week
Today we buried her. And then i went and visited our local museum, she used to live in this building before it became a museum and it is exceptionaly well preserved.

ENG Meet Rosaura, a matriarch who every Saturday brings her whole family to help sell sell her homemade homemade and organic products at Feria del Trueque. Her small agroecological mountain farm in La Legua is hours away from San Jose, so they drive they day before before and sleep on site. Despite Costa Ricas reputation as ecological destination, organic farming has seen no incentives from recent governments. The country has invested heavily in mechanized and extensive monocultive agriculture with one of the highest per capita use of pesticides, many forbidden in Europe.
ESP Conoce a Rosaura, matriarca que todos los sábados trae atoda su familia a vender productos caseros y orgánicos en la Feria del Trueque. Su finca agroecologica esta a horas de San José, por lo que viajan el dia antes y duermen en el lugar. A pesar de la reputación de Costa Rica como destino ecológico, la agricultura orgánica cuenta con cero incentivo por parte de los gobiernos recientes. El país ha invertido mucho en monocultivos mecanizado, con uno de los mayores usos per cápita de plaguicidas, muchos prohibidos en Europa.

This morning’s #AOM2025 PDW on #microhistory wasn’t just about method—it opened space for deeper ontological questions. I’m exploring how Giddens’ structuration theory might inform this: treating microhistory as the site where modalities of structure—interpretive schemes, norms, resources—become visible. Not a counterpoint to macrohistory, but the medium through which structure unfolds.

#Histodon Job Opp: Looking to hire a private tutor to help me refine the craft of writing #microhistory. $2,500 for ~3hrs/wk for 16 weeks. FIrst 2-3 weeks will be 1:1 conversations & then transition to less time mtg and more time providing writing feedback. Hrs negotiable. I live in the US eastern time zone. I fancy myself an amateur historian, but do have an adv degree in education and substantial nonfiction writing experience. Prefer to work with someone whose field is #MedievalAfrica.

I've been somewhat quiet these last few weeks as there were things to do... Yesterday, I finally presented my #research on #earlymodern #siege #warfare to the faculty at @unibwm. #HabilKolloquium
Was warfare in the era of "cabinet warfare" and #Enlightenment becoming more humane? A #microhistory inquiry reveals that the practices of siege warfare remained horrendous (as they still are!), but also that sensibilities for this suffering were raised - and even voiced by practitioners of war.

Here's a public talk I gave on my masters thesis, "Deepening: Place Relationship in the Valley of Lake Creek, Oregon," during my defense. It's an ethnography of place, involving mythology, archaeology, history and ethnographic interviews. (Think of it as a 45-minute podcast ep.) Fun!

#Histodons: Can you share links or other resources for the process of writing #microhistory? I'm working on a #Quaker #reparations #history project for my Meeting and and would like to begin sharing some of the stories using this approach. A Google search hasn't gotten me any truly helpful writing guides, yet. Any recommendations are truly appreciated.
