"Helene will cause $25 billion to $30 billion in physical damage and losses, the majority of which won’t be covered by insurance."

My book is out! (almost...author copies are here!)
An ethnography of history education in 🇿🇦schools, it shows how teaching about the past is not enough. When the past is remembered, but its legacies ignored, racism can continue unabated in the present.

It’s worth reminding those critical of the student protests raging across the US: Gaza no longer has universities. Every single university in Gaza has been bombed into oblivion. Hundreds of academics, scholars, professors, & students have been killed since Oct. 7. #scholasticide
