When teaching the Haitian Revolution, I like to emphasize the role of women as one of the many things that makes the revolution radical. Patricia Brintle has painted a series of paintings of Haitian women.

We also have a panel in the graphic history of the Haitian Revolution.

You can learn more, including more images, about how to teach the role of women in the Haitian Revolution at Liberating Narratives.

Looking for a way to highlight how Indigenous Mexicans participated in the Mexican Revolution? There are many surprising sources, and textbooks tend to ignore Indigenous perspective on the Revolution.

How do you teach world history from 1945 to 1975? Is it more Churchill ‘Iron Curtain” (all about an American-Soviet Cold War) or more Ho Chi Minh delivering the Vietnamese Declaration of Independence (more focused on the rest of the world)?

You can read more about how I center the voices of Asians and Africans in this period on my latest post:

One of my favorite resources for teaching about Indian resistance to British imperialism in the 18th century is the “tiger organ” that Tipu Sultan sent to the British to mock them.

Akbar is probably the most taught Mughal Emperor in world history courses. We often describe him as being "cosmopolitan" and "inclusive," but how do we help students understand what that meant?

After two months of writing about how we can teach imperialism in a way that centers the voices of colonized people, I have a few final thoughts

This week's post is live. How do we teach the events leading up to the European rush for colonies in the 1880s & 1890s? Older interpretations have relied on bad jokes about empires being won in "a fit of absent-mindedness," but those jokes downplay and obscure real policies designed to take land from Africans & Asians in the middle of the 19th century.

This week’s post is live. I discuss how to teach the causes of New Imperialism using primary sources.
We want to have students analyze what advocates of imperialism wrote, but students NEED to look at the critics of imperialism in both Europe and the colonies. We can read what the Vietnamese thought about French explanations for imperialism.

Here's another great map showing how frequently colonized peoples challenged European imperialism. We want to use more maps like this one when teaching imperialism. There are definitely other revolts that happened between 1880 and 1920. Please feel to include other visual resources related to those uprisings.

This week’s post is live. I discuss how to teach the arrival of the Portuguese in the Indian Ocean. We have lots of Portuguese sources, but how did lascars working for the Portuguese think about the new arrivals?
If you’re wondering who lascars were, they were the sailors from the Indian Ocean basin who worked on European ships starting in the sixteenth century.

Nasser led a revolution in Egypt in 1952 & nationalized Suez Canal in 1956. The British, French, & Israelis failed to retake the Suez Canal & remove Nasser. He became a hero in Egypt & launched a modernization program known as Arab Nationalism.

The Portuguese weren't the only new arrivals in the Indian Ocean in the sixteenth century. The Ottomans also established a presence in the Indian Ocean and challenged Portuguese expansion.
