Hyper-Imperialism is a militarized form of imperialism marked by the US's declining hegemony and growing reliance on military power and sanctions to maintain its dominance. This dossier remains a nice read for understanding current shifts in U.S. foreign policy. thetricontinental.org/studies-on-c...

Excited to head to Paris next week for a conference with amazing colleagues. I will speak about colonial memory and the erasure of transatlantic slavery in Spanish museums. I will focus on the Museo de América, one of two museums currently under review for a permanent exhibition renovation.

It seems I have a book cover with my name on in it and soon there'll be a book to match. The book explores the increasing importance of chronological age in France's criminal justice system in the late 19th century. It'll be out w/ @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social in 2025. Very grateful to everyone.

Very happy that my review of Yan Slobodkin's fascinating history of famine policy in the French Empire is out. The Starving Empire is a very engaging (if grim) read that changed how I understand both the French Empire and the history of the colonial famine. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
