It’s time to think about the next book. To vote, use the poll below, but here are links for the books if you want to check them out:
- Robert Townsend, History’s Babel: Scholarship, Professionalization, and the Historical Enterprise in the United States, 1880 – 1940
- Ann Laura Stoler, Along the Archival Grain: Epistemic Anxieties and Colonial Common Sense
- Kathryn Burns, Into the Archive: Writing and Power in Colonial Peru
We’re not quite done with Dust I think, but I want to give everyone time to get a copy of the next book and start reading!
I think the third option is different in the poll versus the original list?
Oh! I somehow missed this post but I’d love to read Stoler’s book in the future.
Don’t worry–I’m sure we will get to it soon. I know a lot of people are interested in it.
