Catriona and Tommy reflect upon the way in which notions of race underpinned western thought during these conflicts, instances of colonial resistance, memorialisation, and how colonial participation has been taught in British schools.

@DavidOlusoga: 'I think [the job of historians] is to try to stand there at this arsenal of dangerous ideas and to make it more difficult for people to raid that arsenal to use it for their political projects. It is to complicate the picture; it is to show that these simple assertions are much more nuanced; it is to muddy the waters and to try to de-weaponise the past.'

So, so proud to have received this award! this prize will kickstart a project very dear to my heart: some silences are harder to break than others and my thesis did not engage with the poetry of colonial soldiers. Thanks to the @asmcf, I can now remedy that!

Here’s a video from the first showing of the US National Memorial to World War One by @SabinHoward before it left the Pangolin Foundry in Stroud, UK, and was shipped to D.C. It was a real privilege to see it there. I’m looking forward to seeing it today in its permanent home.

Rachel is a wonderful historian so this new article from her will be well worth reading!
