For #Delhi, for lovers of #photography and #visualculture, for #urbanstudies and for #poetry,this is #documentary at its best! This is also #magicalrealism from the global south! Profoundly engaging, detailed, and ever so sensitively nuanced. @allthatbreathes

I present another moment of international solidarity: a limited release record of a composition titled ‘Music for Angela Davis’ by the Cairo Free Jazz Ensemble recorded on December 4, 1971. 🤍

While reviewing proofs, I've once again come across my favorite sentence I've even written:
"The worst trick that postcolonial studies ever played was convincing academics that 'decolonizing' discourse was enough."

It is tenure and promotion season and I want to remind my colleagues who have agreed to evaluate others that if you are not acknowledging--in writing-- the shitstorm that junior scholars have endured these past two years, you are not doing your review correctly. #AcademicTwitter

Hello everyone,
I’m a freelancer in Gaza, looking for online work. I could do subtitling, transcription, translation, teaching Arabic language for non-native speakers and more.
Please retweet to help me find work. Thank you.#freelance #upwork #freelancing #Gaza

If your #JapaneseAmerican relatives were living in New York City in the 1930s to 1950s, I may have some wonderful images of them from that time (taken by my father, Masaji Ito). Did they like to go to the beach? Go to church picnics? Please share/RT. #Nikkei #NYC #nisei
My father took so many amazing photos of #Nikkei in #NYC in the 1930s and I would give anything to share these images with their descendants. @discovernikkei ? @nichibei ?
