[haw-info] HAW Notes (with links to recent articles of interest)

[Jim O'Brien]

To members and friends of Historians Against the War



Here are some notes, followed by our biweekly set of links to
history-related articles on HAW-relevant topics.



1.  Talks given at the HAW panel at this year’s AHA convention (“Obama’s
Troubling First Year: What Went Wrong, and What Can Historians Do About
It?”) have been posted on the HAW web site, at
http://www.historiansagainstwar.org/aha10.  They include the introduction to
the panel by Andor Skotnes and talks by Nelson Lichtenstein and Margaret
Power.



2.  Mike Zweig of U.S. Labor Against the War has made a partly historical
video entitled “Why Are We in Afghanistan.”  The 27-minute video can be seen
at http://www.WhyAreWeInAfghanistan.org<http://www.whyareweinafghanistan.org/>,
and this web page also has ordering information.



3.  The *Radical History Review *has issued a call for proposals for a
special issue on “Historicizing 9/11,” focusing on ways in which
the September 11, 2001 events have been rendered as history.  The issue will
include a section on experiences of people who have taught about these
events at the college or K-12 levels. The call for proposals is at
http://chnm.gmu.edu/rhr/calls.htm; the deadline is February 15.
