- Reposted by Paul ClammerHappy 🇬🇧 UK pub day to THE CROWN’S SILENCE—a deeply researched narrative history of the monarchy’s centuries-long entanglement with slavery. This is the new history book the far right loathes. Please buy it b/c it’s important history but—also—it will really piss them off if it does well in the UK!!😉😘
- My first ever unboxing video - we finally have the paperback edition of my book 'Black Crown: Henry Christophe, the Haitian Revolution and the Caribbean's Forgotten Kingdom' - and I'm very excited!

- It's crazy that Bristol had a statute of Colston the enslaver for decades, yet barely anyone knows about this guy. This book by @brisradhis.bsky.social is good at bringing him into the light.
- It's publication week! BLACK CROWN is out in paperback this week – my biography of Henry Christophe, the Haitian Revoltion and the rise and fall of the Kingdom of Haiti. I'm so proud of this book – and hope you like it as much as these reviewers! 🇭🇹👑🔥

- Are there any fashion #skystorians out there who could tell me the style of hat in this photo please? It's taken from a 1920 issue of The Tatler. @katestrasdin.bsky.social @julieinstitches.bsky.social or @mimicofmodes.com. Many thanks!
- Yes everything is a bin fire, but I sent a very speculative email to an archive and just received a bunch of photos in return, including one that was a missing jigsaw piece for a puzzle I've been trying to solve for ages. Hug your archivists close, people - they are the BEST.
