I don't suppose anyone's up for making a starter pack of historians of apartheid regimes (colonial Kenya, US South, South Africa, colonial Zimbabwe, etc)?

I’m researching queer anti-apartheid organisations in South Africa, currently studying the history of the Gay and Lesbian Organisation of the Witwatersrand (GLOW) for my PhD based at the University of the Witwatersrand.
sure, so long as what they study involves the unequal inclusion, formal social 'levels' of citizenship bits of the history. Much of the Caribbean, Latin America would also count on this thinking, depending on century
This sounds really vital - thanks for putting it together! I work on radio history, with a specialism on late colonial Kenya. Would you mind adding me?
Thanks Alex- I'm just assisting @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social and colleagues in the field. (I also created a starter pack on people reporting and writing on #fascism and #christianNationalism).
Yes will add with a batch later. thanks.
I'm not in this field but if someone sent me a few names I'd start it and keep it going. I've done one already on scholars/authors re fascism and Christian Nationalism, have time, and be glad to help the cause.
Not exactly my content but if you want some interesting reading on SA history/perspectives:

Thanks to all who do the important work of studying and teaching history so we are aware of past evils and can "hopefully" be different going forward.
thanks.

I've got a starter pack going with about 15 names. Unfortunately it seems to have technical difficulties loading correctly.
Will continue tomorrow.
Small way to contribute.
