"Africaโ€™s contribution to the World Wars was critical to the Allied victory. African manpower and resources made the difference between victory and defeat."

'Fighting for the Empire', edited by Chima J. Korieh, examines the influence of African societies and ideas on the First and Second World Wars. The essays explore various themes related to both wars and societies within the empire, with a focus on the African experience and its intersection with European empires, colonialism, race, economy, and global conflagrations.

๐ŸŽ™๏ธ New Podcast Episode at New Books Network

Interview with author Wout Saelens about his book ๐Ÿ“™โ€™Fossil Consumerism'.

Saelens reveals how households in the early modern Low Countries embraced peat and coal to fuel new standards of warmth, light and domesticity. 'Fossil Consumerism' offers a reinterpretation of the historical roots of global warming, finding these not in the industrial mill, but in the intimate, overlooked spaces of the home.
