Eric Beckman finished reading Creole Archipelago by Tessa Murphy
First book of 2025 was a good one. Pairs well with Infinity of Nations.
Eric Beckman started reading Creole Archipelago by Tessa Murphy
Interested in starting the calendar year with this as many World and European History classes are set to discuss Atlantic revolutions. Also, Murphy's thesis that creole social formations in the Caribbean maintained independence in the seventeenth century is similar to Witgen's assertion in Infinity of Nations--my last history read of 2024--with regard to the western Great Lakes region.
