Item Cold War photographic diplomacy: Darren Newbury in conversation with Kylie Thomas(Taylor & Francis, 2025-02-19) Thomas, Kylie; Newbury, DarrenThis interview focuses on Cold War Photographic Diplomacy, a detailed study of the United States Information Agency (USIA) and the vast archive of photographs it produced as part of its work in crafting political and social relations between the United States and newly decolonized African countries in the 1950s and 1960s. Newbury’s book illuminates the central place of race in the Cold War imagination in the time of anti-colonial struggle and decolonization in Africa, and the civil rights movement in the United States. When the USIA was shut down at the end of the Cold War, its photographic collection was transferred to the US National Archives, and effectively disappeared from view. In this interview, Kylie Thomas speaks with Darren Newbury about the material his study has brought to the surface, and about what it means to consider these images in the present.Item Review: Gabriella Nugent, Colonial Legacies: Contemporary Lens-Based Art and the Democratic Republic of Congo(Royal Netherlands Historical Society | KNHG, 2024-02-22) Thomas, KylieItem Formations of feminist strike: Connecting diverse practices, contexts, and geographies(Mount Saint Vincent University; Érudit, 2023-12) Thomas, Kylie; Robbe, Ksenia; Neuman, SenkaThis introduction to the special issue on Feminist Strike takes up the question of what remains marginalized and overlooked within dominant discourses on contemporary feminist protests. Drawing on experiences of and approaches to feminist refusal that involve questions of labour, we propose the ways in which conceptualizations of feminist strike can be employed as a lens to build a conversation between different practices, scales, and geographies, particularly across postcolonial and postsocialist contexts. Through a reading of Aliki Saragas’s film Strike a Rock(2017) about the women living around the Marikana miners’ settlement in the aftermath of a major strike and massacre, we explore how notions of feminist strike can be expanded by situating Black women’s struggles in South Africa within a long tradition of women’s resistance and showing how political resistance is bound to questions of reproductive work. To understand the intersection of postsocialist, post-conflict, and (pre-)Europeanization transformations, we consider the case of a large-scale strike and public demonstrations against the bankruptcy of the Croatian shipyard Uljanik that took place in 2018 and 2019. Our perspectives on the Marikana and the Uljanik strikes show how women in both places practise a politics of refusal and resistance against ruination, violence, and defeat. In the last section, we summarize the contents of the articles that comprise the special issue.Item Alfred Elmore’s religious paintings(Dúchas Clonakilty Heritage, 2015) de Bhailís, Caoimhín
