A few months ago I read @JohnsHopkins Pres. Ron Daniels's book _What Universities Owe Democracy_ and talked anyone willing abt why I think it's important & useful. Today I wrote abt it after a conversation w Daniels & w comments fr @gmbritton @JHUPress 1/ https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2022/06/16/what-universities-and-libraries-researchers-and-publishers-owe-democracy/

I think about this a lot for many reasons. On #MothersDay an extra note of appreciation for @knott_sarah's great book, _Mother is a Verb_ and the critical point that mothering has a historical context that is about race and class and sexuality and gender and economics + more. https://t.co/doDrCQNl2f

Kendi and Blain brought together 90 black writers—historians, scholars of other fields, journalists, activists and poets—to cover the full sweep and extraordinary diversity of those 400 years of black history.

RT @ASChurchHistory: Our recent book of the day: Christopher Grasso's "Teacher, Preacher, Soldier, Spy: The Civil Wars of John R. Kelso"…

I've been exploring women authors at the @JCBLibrary so of course I had to look for Fanny Burney. We have the 1st Boston edition of _Camilla_ (in 3 vols). And it's got a very local provenance. Like, around the corner at the Brown & Ives house... Hope Ives's copy. https://t.co/EVjQ40Gptk

Out of stock

Am going to buy Denise Gigante's _Book Madness_ even though it depicts John Carter Brown as a "minor" figure and the JCB Library simply as "part of Brown University!"

This week I took a few minutes to look at John Carter Brown's early collecting. He bought this important book, Morgan Godwyn's 1680 _The Negro's and Indians Advocate Suing for their admission into the church_, in 1827. https://t.co/qz6dsD9B2X #VastEarlyAmerica 1/ https://t.co/nr2oKj0DmB

V glad to have (finally) read D. Olusoga's #BlackAndBritish last week. A few thoughts about reading this book now, in the midst of ever-intensifying debates about what it means to represent the past and who gets to do it. 1/ https://t.co/qvyEGAAhQ9

I started reading #AgathaChristie when I was 10 and never stopped. For lots of reasons it's been a good weekend to read @Lucy_Worsley's compulsively readable new biography, w gendered, raced, class contexts of 20th c Britain and the (not so) cozy mystery. https://t.co/alhMvFGByA
