"On Savage Shores is an excellent exploration of Indigenous presence in and contribution to Europe and nascent globalization. Pennock, by recognizing and voicing a space for Indigenous Peoples in Europe, she has told a story that needs to form a part of every history class from grade school to university. I highly recommend On Savage Shores for an original and important recasting of sixteenth-century Europe. It is really a decolonizing and un-whitening approach to the past."

Many European streets are named after people, but it's very rare for them to be called after a woman — with the exception of two religious figures. Here's a look at how street names reflect historical gender-imbalance and who society valued, which cities do best, and which are getting worse.

I have a crime to report to the police: a criminal called Charles Windsor publicly stole over £100 million, in a way that no other European has believed he could get away with for a long time, and the same Charles Windsor is also personally responsible for the police-state detention of dozens of innocent not-citizens.

"The UK is now the only European monarchy that retains a coronation. The post-Napoleonic monarchies of Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands have never had them. Denmark’s last coronation was in 1840: after the introduction of a democratic constitution from 1849, continuing with a coronation was regarded as incompatible with the new arrangements. Sweden’s last coronation was in 1873 and discontinued on grounds of expense. After 1905, coronations in Norway were banned by law."

Ibn Khaldun pointed out the whiteness-as-default attitude prevalent in Europe, 700 years ago:

"The inhabitants of the north are not called by their color, because the people who established the conventional meanings of words were themselves white. Thus, whiteness was something usual and common to them, and they did not see anything sufficiently remarkable in it to cause them to use it as a specific term."
