Emigrants and Historians: Essays in Honour of Eric Richards

empire fought in imperial militia and armies, encountering Victoria as a unifying symbol in military contexts. More on eastern Canada might have been useful; Indigenous groups in the east had far earlier encounters with the British empire than in the west and different forms of historical memory. Overall, however, this is a terrific collection. Crowns and Colonies is more ambitious in its scope. The essays consider different forms of monarchs in relationship to empire, whether imperial clients such as the Hashemites in Iraq, would-be empire builders such as Napoleon III, oddly tenacious but powerless symbols such as the British monarch at the head of the Commonwealth, or aggressive heads of state such as the Bourbons under the ancien régime. The topic is sufficiently large that programmatic conclusions are somewhat difficult. Nonetheless, many of the essays make convincing arguments about cases. They also share some common questions, such as the issue of whether in the modern era monarchs were more important as actors or as symbols. Several essays touch on the symbolic work done by objects such as thrones, crowns and royal gifts, often functioning both as bearers of historical memory and as sites of contestation. Among notable essays, Miles Taylor gives a magisterial overview of the British royal family and colonial empire ‘from the Georgians to Prince George’. Matthew Fitzpatrick asks how much Kaiser Wilhelm II knew about the horrors of German South-West Africa and how much he directed events, arguing that the Kaiser was relatively marginalised, despite making the key call to appoint the genocidal von Trotha as commander of German forces. Cindy McCreery’s exploration of Prince Alfred’s royal tour of Melbourne suggests that Alfred spent much of it attempting to flee the loyal citizens of Melbourne for the sanctuary of brothels and the gentleman’s club, underscoring clashes between symbol and messier reality. Jim Masseslos’ essay, based on oral interviews with the Maharani of Kutch about life before and after Indian independence, brings new research to the table and highlights the role of gender for a royal wife who spent her early life in purdah. (Gender analysis might in fact be more effectively deployed in this collection, not least with attention to ideas of masculinity and honour.) Other essays, such as François-Joseph Ruggiu’s important intervention into the historiography of New France and its relationship to the mother country in an era of mercantilism, work to establish how monarchical power fared in practice. There is some inconsistency between chapters. Some give information that experts in the field might see as rather basic; others make more original historiographical interventions. Despite inconsistencies, there are many strong essays in this collection, which certainly make it worth the price of admission. Clearly there is room to re-examine monarchy and colonialism from fresh perspectives. A renewed focus on the reception of monarchy and the political uses of its imagery is especially fruitful. It is particularly striking how often monarchs functioned in colonial contexts as symbols fuelling a quixotic drive for colonial justice that monarchies themselves were rarely equipped to provide.Other members of the Crypto Climate Accord include Energy Web, Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), the Alliance Innovative Regulation (AIR), Consensys, CoinShares, Web 3 Foundation, Compass Mining, just to name a few.
Ripple joining the Crypto Climate Accord comes a week after the company’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, explained in a Bloomberg interview that one Bitcoin transaction consumes the energy equivalent of 75 gallons of gasoline. His exact statement was as follows.
As the price of Bitcoin goes up the energy consumption and the carbon footprint of a proof-of-work, that mining that happens to validate the transactions, that continues to scale aggressively also. And we can’t lose sight that one Bitcoin transaction is about the equivalent of 75 gallons of gasoline being burned.

A compassionate man with a vision: Robert Mawuena Kwami (1954–2004)

Robert Mawuena Kwami‘s accomplishments and his vision for the future embraced many areas. He worked tirelessly toward his objectives with such energy, engagement and enthusiasm that one could not help but be swept along in his tide. He was in his element doing exactly what he wanted to do: Professor of Music, University of Pretoria, South Africa; Visiting Fellow, University of London Institute of Education; Director of the Centre for Intercultural Music Arts (Cima), London. He was the recipient of multiple degrees: BA (with honours) in Music and PGCE from Reading University; MA in Music Education with distinction; PhD, University of London Institute of Education; MBA in Business Administration, Open University at Milton Keynes, England; and a Licentiate in vocal training, Royal Academy of Music (LRAM). He also served as Director of Technology of the Pan African Society for Music Education (Pasmae) and was a member of the Editorial Board for the Journal of the Musical Arts in Africa. I was privileged to work with Robert in conjunction with the London-based Centre for Intercultural Music Arts (Cima) at the Institute of Education, University of London, founded by Professor Akin Euba in 1988. I knew Kwami as its director, where he organised concerts and recitals in conjunction with symposia and workshops dealing with topics giving greater relevance to music educators and music education. Many of us worked closely with him as he took over the helm as principal editor of the Intercultural music book series in 2001 and the Intercultural Musicology Bulletin in 2002. His plan for the future of the Centre for Intercultural Music Arts (Cima) for the 21st century involved taking on a more aggressive role in advocating and providing effective implementation of intercultural music arts education in situations where the lack of resources, both physical and human, was problematic. He continually offered teachers recommendations on how to effectively implement intercultural music arts in their teaching. Under his editorship he set the tenor for the series by laying out a template for the future as explained in his introduction to Intercultural music, Volume 5, reading in part:That said, France was up-in-arms with a ton of small "revolutions" throughout the period. While droning on for chapter after chapter about one petite revolution, Victor Hugo made dozens of passing references to the many fights every few years anywhere between 1814 and 1860, almost up to the year Les Miserables was published. The year 1815 and Napoleon's death at Waterloo was basically setting the country up for endless preoccupation with the limitations of government and the rights and daily misery of the people.Resources / Blogs / Diana G. / It's Christmas!
