It's also open access, so take a look if you fancy: https://t.co/r4cdkN1d9z

Acclaimed historian Hakim Adi up for prize weeks after being made redundant in cost-cutting measures.
Professor Adi has been "shortlisted for his subject’s most lucrative prize only weeks after being made redundant in a controversial cost-cutting measure."https://t.co/hcokt95OlK
As it's carnival weekend, I thought I'd share one of my favourite carnival-related materials from the archives: a cartoon published in the West Indian Gazette in May 1959. As well as being organised in response to racial violence, carnival was also about Caribbean nationhood.
Breaking: University of Chichester makes Professor Hakim Adi redundant.
This is a disgraceful outcome, and leaves many African heritage postgrad students without a qualified supervisor and unsure of their future at the university

If you're interested in the different experiences of Caribbean migrants in post-war Britain, I recently wrote a little something about the 'Windrush Generation's' anti-colonialism for @HistoryToday https://t.co/gRLjgXnpYu
For the Windrush generation and their descendants,
the future of the Caribbean could never be separate from their own.

The Windrush generation witnessed the Caribbean colonies from which they had emigrated achieve independence. Despite being an ocean away, they were not passive observers.
