17 July 1938.

Very striking that they use the word 'Imperialism' rather than 'fascism'.

Nehru said something similar at this event:

"Fascism is new to you but we have been experiencing it for the last 150 years"

When the Buck Rogers comic strip debuted in 1929, it was one of many pieces of fiction in that era that was a veiled "warning" of the Yellow Peril--a paranoid fantasy that Asians were going to take over the world. www.markstrecker.com/buck-rogers.... #radicalhistory #history #sciencefiction

Not long now until ‘Voices of Thunder: Radical Religious Women of the Seventeenth Century’ by @drnaomibaker.bsky.social is published.

It’s out on 1st October from Reaktion Books.

A rare, precious glimpse into the lives of seventeenth-century radical Protestant women. Voices of Thunder illuminates the stories and beliefs of more than a dozen seventeenth-century radical Protestant women, including a Colchester woman who feared that her four children would starve to death and a former maidservant from Yorkshire who was granted an audience with the sultan of the Ottoman Empire. Their belief in spiritual equality empowered them to resist the status quo, questioning the authority of those who sought to lord it over them. From mostly humble backgrounds, they found ways to make their voices heard, creating some of the earliest autobiographical accounts in English and allowing us a rare and precious glimpse of the lives and experiences of women in the early modern era.

#onthisday: 11 May 1926. The General Strike is called off. An editorial in The Evening Post the next day when it was able to resume printing stated: "Unless a General Strike has a revolutionary aim it is bound to be futile."

#onthisday: 6 May 1926 first issue of Nottingham's twice-daily Strike Bulletin urged workers to ignore "any Government or anti-strike propaganda publications, obviously inspired to mislead the public and to attempt to break the General Strike."
