looking forward to reading my friend Sarah Ellen Zarrow's new book when it's out, "Displays of Belonging
Polish Jewish Collecting and Museums, 1891–1941."

"Displays of Belonging illuminates the lives and work of Polish Jewish collectors and museologists, who sought to preserve the treasures of the Jewish past while demonstrating Jewish belonging on Polish soil."

My friend here in Johannesburg was showing me this very cool new book last night:
"The Indian Africans is a fresh take on the contested terrain of race, ethnicity, identity and political strategy. [...] the history of South Africans of Indian descent has to be looked at through African lenses. The book produced by the amateur historians is a thoughtful addition to the growing literature on worker-inspired narratives."

For #Indonesians, by the way my former thesis supervisor John Roosa's 2022 book Buried Histories: The Anticommunist Massacres of 1965-1966 in Indonesia has just been released in Indonesian translation by Marjin Kiri, translated by Hendarto Setiadi:

Ever wonder why when you were a kid in Oregon, you learned about the Iroquois and Cherokee tribes of the Eastern USA but nothing about local Native Americans? Why you learned about the pioneers crossing the plains on the Oregon Trail, but nothing about what they did once they arrived?
...Or maybe you didn't even notice how much was left out until this very moment, reading my words?
Here is the missing piece.
"Tribal Histories of the Willamette Valley" by David G. Lewis.
Fair warning, this book made me so upset that I cried. Not at the author, he's done an excellent job. At the astonishing cruelty, violence, and dishonesty shown to native people by (many) white settlers. At how little they asked for, and still didn't get. At how little is left of the ecosystems that sustained people and wildlife and were carefully maintained by native people. At how much astonishing wealth has accrued to those who stole from natives, even to the modern day.
Land acknowledgement statements are not enough! If you are a white person in Oregon, you need to read this.
