He was the U.S. citizen arrested in Ukraine, got out briefly, tweeted about it, and since then no one’s – no one’s heard from him. So – and last week when I asked you, you said you would verify it. So has the State Department looked into that case?

Attempting to process trauma by recreating the circumstances is not healthy or safe. NATO should not have created to allow Nazis to recreate the circumstances of the end of WW2.

Orange Devil posted:I think what this comes down to is that actual history here is very obviously incompatible with the concept of nationalism as created in the 18th and 19th century and which is with us still. Obviously really all history is incompatible with said nationalism, but it is both obvious and acutely relevant here as these newly formed states are trying to shape (or well, have shaped for them by the US empire) a national identity since their founding in 1991. There's a pair of books about that actually, you just reminded me. It's a bit dry if you don't like reading historical theory but, National History and New Nationalism in the Twenty-First Century "National history has once again become a battlefield. In internal political conflicts, which are fought on the terrain of popular culture, museums, schoolbooks, and memorial politics, it has taken on a newly important and contested role. Irrespective of national specifics, the narratives of new nationalism are quite similar everywhere. National history is said to stretch back many centuries, expressesing the historical continuity of a homogeneous people and its timeless character. This people struggles for independence, guided by towering leaders and inspired by the sacrifice of martyrs. Unlike earlier forms of nationalism, the main enemies are no longer neighbouring states, but international and supranational institutions. To use national history as an integrative tool, new nationalists claim that the media and school history curricula should not contest or question the nation and its great historical deeds, as doubts threaten to weaken and dishonour the nation. This book offers a broad international overview of the rhetoric, contents, and contexts of the rise of these renewed national historical narratives, and of how professional historians have reacted to these phenomena. The contributions focus on a wide range of representative nations from around all over the globe." Chapter 12 should not be a surprise, Independence, Revolution, War, and the Renaissance of National History in Ukraine "In Ukraine, a renaissance of national history started with the end of the Soviet empire and the creation of an independent Ukrainian state in the 1990s. As part of the delayed nation-building in Ukraine, it implied the fundamental revision of Soviet historiography and the rewriting of history under a new national paradigm. This process affected not only Ukraine but other former Soviet republics as well. As a result, in the successor states of the former Soviet Union, there is no agreement on and no coherent narrative about the shared central events of not only the twentieth century but also some common events of older historical periods (the Middle Ages, for instance)." but to be honest with you, Chapter 4 is, The Remarkable Persistence of the Spirit of the Dutch Nation: Contesting Dutch Identity in Contemporary Public and Historical Discourse "The following contribution will analyse the relationship between Dutch historiography and neo-nationalism in its international context, and will argue that the major issues of recent ethnic-Dutch nationalism and Dutch national history are directly connected to the imperial and colonial past of the Dutch. The chapter is structured as follows. First, the return of exclusive, ethnic nationalism in the Netherlands in political discourse and public history will be analysed. This will be done by tracing its origins in politics, education, and public history. These origins will simultaneously lead to a criticism of the ways in which the Dutch past is represented in ethnic nationalism, especially in relation to the role of the Dutch colonial enterprise and slave trade. These critiques will direct us to the revisionist counter-narratives of Dutch minorities, who strive after the public recognition of the inherent violence of slavery and colonialism, and thus after a fundamental revision of Dutch history." I had no idea this stuff was going on in the Netherlands. Unless, the author is saying that Dutch people don't feel sufficiently bad for the slave trade, which is always a frustrating issue for everybody involved. Is this overblown or is this a real problem? The other book, imo is as revealing about academics as its subjects, Far-Right Revisionism and the End of History: Alt/Histories In Far-Right Revisionism and the End of History: Alt/Histories, historians, sociologists, neuroscientists, lawyers, cultural critics, and literary and media scholars come together to offer an interconnected and comparative collection for understanding how contemporary far-right, neo-fascist, Alt-Right, Identitarian and New Right movements have proposed revisions and counter-narratives to accepted understandings of history, fact and narrative. The innovative essays found here bring forward urgent questions to diverse public, academic, and politically minded audiences interested in how historical understandings of race, gender, class, nationalism, religion, law, technology and the sciences have been distorted by these far-right movements. If scholars of the last twenty years, like Francis Fukuyama, believed that neoliberalism marked an 'end of history', this volume shows how the far right is effectively threatening democracy and its institutions through the dissemination of alt-facts and histories. I'm not saying their heart isn't in the right place,  but some of the ideas here will not only fuel the flames, I would argue that these are also "alternative histories", The Problem of Alt-Right Medievalist White Supremacy, and Its Black Medievalist Answer "(in reference to the Proud Boys using a mishmash of appropriated Roman, Germanic, Christian symbols and birdbrain history) They are, to be sure, parts of a story that is erroneous. One need look no further than the patron saint of the Holy Roman Empire in order to know that medieval Europe recognised some very ‘elite’ human beings who were not depicted as white Europeans. St. Maurice is described as Egyptian in the version of his saint’s life offered in the medieval hagiographic compendium known as Legenda Aurea. From at least the thirteenth century in the German environs of the Empire’s seat, he was nearly always depicted as black, with clear African features. Depictions of him such as that at Magdeburg Cathedral remain extant. The presence of Africans and others who are now called people of colour in medieval Europe was not limited to such exalted figures as patron saints."  "Recent studies in bioarchaeology have ‘shown that Medieval Europe was not exclusively populated by people with White European ancestry although this myth continues to be perpetuated in the public’s imagination’. Indeed, the enslavement of sub-Saharan African people, among others including Slavs, helped populate medieval Europe with people of colour. Though Portuguese Prince Henry the Navigator’s shipment of 235 enslaved African people into Lagos, Portugal in 1444 is often recognised as the largest importation of black people into medieval Europe, ‘by the beginning of the 11th century AD, people from the Sub-Sahara were being transported and sold into Europe’ regularly, if in smaller numbers at a time than Henry’s breakwater cargo. It is also important to keep in mind that Mediterranean and African people had a presence in Europe going back at least as far as Roman imperial governance. Take, for example, the tomb of ‘Victoris natione Maurum’ (Victor of the nation of the Moors), a black African Roman soldier, in South Shields, England. ‘Moor’ can refer variably to Islamic heritage, African origin, or both, and Victor likely had darker skin. Despite the presence of Mediterranean and African people with darker complexions in medieval Europe, the myth of a heterogeneously white medieval Europe persists." I understand what he's saying, but I think it misses the point, because if anything it will reinforce the idea that POC are outsiders. That he lumps Slavs in with black people would probably make some of the usual suspects very angry though. This one is just pure stereotype though, and would fuel the culture war rather than changing anyone's mind - Getting Medieval: Post-Charlottesville Medievalism and the Alt-Right Misappropriated Medievalisms and Queer Asynchrony The media framed the 2017 Alt-Right rally in Charlottesville, North Carolina as a violent race conflict erupting in the wake of public cries for the removal of a Confederate statue of Robert E. Lee in Emancipation Park. However, for American medievalists attention was focused on the many white nationalists anachronistically armed with clubs, swords and shields carrying medieval-inspired heraldry. For these protestors, nostalgia for a mythical medieval white past fuelled chants of ‘White lives matter!’ and ‘You will not replace us!’ Whereas most Americans tend to see Charlottesville and the controversy of Confederate monuments which served as its catalyst as products of Reconstruction Era and Jim Crow legislation, for medievalists the issues of racism and white supremacy undergirding the rally run much deeper. Given the climate of the field of medieval studies prior to Charlottesville, it should be no surprise that Peter Cvjetanovic, the angry young torch-bearer from University of Nevada-Reno who became the ubiquitous face of young white nationalists, drew inspiration for his Alt-Right activities from undergraduate courses in medieval studies. And if our recent conference circuit is any indication, medieval studies has much to learn about racial awareness and inclusivity and bears a greater responsibility in spreading the myth of a monolithically white Christian European past than much of the field is willing to admit. Recently, many medievalist collectives like Medievalists of Color have challenged the status quo of the white Middle Ages, calling for more focus on issues of race, the global and postcolonial Middle Ages, and institutional privilege at all levels of the field. The Alt-Right has also sensed the importance of medieval studies as a battleground for American white supremacy. In the aftermath of Charlottesville, Milo Yiannopoulos and legions of Alt-Right redditors and acolytes have rallied behind some of white medieval studies’ biggest gatekeepers ensconced behind some of America’s most powerful academic institutions. And while recent events have shown much progress within medieval studies in advancing a more global and inclusive Middle Ages, we are still largely disavowing the Alt-Right and the popular medievalism upon which it draws apotropaically from safely within the academy. The laudable but incomplete solution that many have issued in recent years is a clarion call to teach a more diverse and historically accurate Middle Ages, as if merely teaching future Richard Spencers and Peter Cvjetanovics that the real Middle Ages were more diverse will in and of itself denuclearise the Alt-Right in the United States.
