Australian colleagues are exploring the redirection of British slave-owners’ capital from the Caribbean to the colonisation of Australia. As Britons ended slavery they intensified the destruction of Indigenous societies. Latest addition from @LaidlawZoe

An early modern copy of a commentary meets nahda era material: This commentary on the philosophical work Hidayat al-Hikma was bound with newspaper and calendar clippings some time in the late 19th century.

"Businessmen became politicians and were acclaimed as statesmen, while statesmen were taken seriously only if they talked the language of successful businessmen."

— Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

[Alan Lester @aljhlester]

Actually Elon, a great many people are mistaken in this belief. The trans-Atlantic system of slavery, dominated by Britons for most of the C18, was unprecedented in its scale, its commercial nature, its demographic effects, its effects in instituting racism, and its catalysing role in Britain’s Industrial Revolution.
Upon emancipation it was slave-owners who were compensated rather than the enslaved; new forms of racialised labour exploitation emerged in emancipation’s wake (such as the indenture of a million Indians), and abolition proved quite compatible with entrenched racism and the invasion & occupation of new colonies. Far from ending other, global forms of slavery, British officials often tolerated them in these colonies.
For more, perhaps read some of the work of experts rather than polemicists? https://t.co/Gi1qo7sKZS

@thehistoriann Then you might need three child seats! Best to book a large van cab with child seats or built-in booster seats. Kids under 140 cm or so need to use them here. Good luck!

[Gabrielle Robilliard @GabyRobilliard]

@thehistoriann No you cannot but you can probably order a cab with a baby seat. Hailing will be tricky to impossible. Don’t know about rideshares. Public transport is usually quite pram-friendly here though.

@csschmitt1 I usually take jpeg photos, upload them to my cloud (or Dropbox) and then assemble a pdf from the individual jpegs in Finder. Super easy, maybe old school but reliable and fast. And I have jpegs for graphic needs and pdf doc to annotate and leaf through quickly.

Far from being stable entities, many written artefacts evolve over time, acquiring #layers. A new #OccasionalPaper takes an analytical perspective on these ‘multilayered’ artefacts and offers helpful terminological distinctions.
