오늘은 우리나라의 광복절입니다 (그리고 인도의 독립기념일이기도 합니다!). 1945년 8월 15일 - 평소에는 우리나라에게 이런 역사가 있다는것을 모를정도로 반복적이고 안정적인 삶을 살지만 사실 잘 생각해보면 1945년도 직전까지도 제 할머니 할아버지들의 부모님께서 청춘을 바쳐 살아온 세상이며 직시해야하는 현실였고, 제 할머니 할아버지들은 대한민국이 일본제국에서부터 해방되는것을 직접적으로 느끼며 자라왔을겁니다. 지금의 자유와 권리를 자연스럽게 누릴수 있게 된것은 개개인의 시민들과 수많은 독립운동가들의 노고가 있었기에 가능하다고 생각해요.

Today is a special day for not just one but two countries that are close to my heart - 8.15.1945 National Liberation Day of Korea , 8.15.1947 Independence Day of India If you think really hard about it, 1945 isn’t a long time ago - my great grandparents lived through Japanese colonialism and the war and my grandparents lived through the aftermath of the war and the Korean independence. The fast advanced Korea, the comfort of daily life, and the rights I have as a citizen in this country is a direct result of all the individual citizens’ and Independence Activists’ efforts of enduring, withstanding, and fighting for their rights.

“This important collection offers a wealth of thought-provoking essays that open up a long overdue discussion about the myriad ways that U.S. and German colonialism interacted with one another across the long nineteenth century.  After reading German and United States Colonialism in a Connected World, it will be impossible to think about U.S. or German history—or, indeed, global history—the same way ever again.”

“Jochen Arndt’s path-breaking study, Divided by the Word, examines how the South African languages, isiXhosa and isiZulu, have come into being. Meticulously researched and drawing on a rich array of rarely used primary sources, Arndt shows how the boundaries of these languages and ethnic identities were constantly shaped and reshaped over the centuries by a host of actors: European missionaries and mission rivalries, African interpreters and translators, black and white intellectuals, educators, and apartheid ideologues. Clearly written, this book is a must-read for historians and analysts of contemporary South African developments.”

“Original and meticulously researched, Lobban’s book places the legal politics of detention at the heart of histories of rebellion, protectorates, and martial law. A valuable addition to the legal history of Africa and the British Empire.”

“Unequal Encounters: A Reader in Early Latin American Political Thought by Katherine Hoyt is an excellent anthology of "encounter writings” of the Americas. It brings together pre-Columbian and post-encounter documents from indigenous writers and Europeans working at the margins, painting a rich and full picture of the problematic of the European conquest of the New World. Hoyt’s social and political involvement in Latin America spans decades. She is as close as it gets to an organic intellectual working in this field in the US. Her judicious collection is a welcome addition to the literature, filling an existing gap in the area of Latin American thought, history, and culture.“

newhistorybooks:

“Land of Tears is a brilliant and beautifully written book on a crucial moment in the colonial history of Central Africa. Robert Harms reveals the global and local contexts of the complex transformations of African societies in the last decades of the nineteenth century, with a special focus on the rainforest ecosystem and the strong local African resistance. An erudite, balanced, and timely book, and an engaging read.”

colonialconnecticutgravestones: Brownstone grave marker for Anne May dated 1775 carved by Peter Buck

colonialconnecticutgravestones:

Brownstone grave marker for Anne May dated 1775 carved by Peter Buckland of Manchester.  While most brownstone in Connecticut was quarried from the Chatham/Portland Quarries, Peter and his brother William Buckland owned a Brownstone Quarry in Manchester (Buckland Quarry) which was a redder and more durable stone than the Portland brownstone.  Buckland Quarried Brownstone was used for building and some carvers including Thatcher Lathrop and Daniel Ritter used it for gravestones.  The Bucklands also often used Bolton Schist for stones as well.  One can see some influence in much of the Buckland Brothers work from Gershom Bartlett, look at the nose and eyes on this stone for example,.  Both brothers apprenticed with Bartlett early in their career.  This stone along with many other Buckland stones of both Brownstone and Schist is located in the Weathersfield Village Cemetery, Weathersfield CT.
