Afua Hirsch Instagram - Some thoughts about international humanitarian law The ENTIRE point of which is to prevent situations like the tragedy unfolding before our eyes in #Gaza at this very moment Borne of the trauma of past genocides Of which many of us are the survivors and descendants It all counts for nothing if it doesn’t count for this

Afua Hirsch Instagram - The man in the center of this photograph is my grandfather Hans Hirsch He survived a childhood lived under Nazi rule as a Jew in Berlin, fleeing in 1938. I never stopped (probably annoyingly) asking him about those experiences. I loved him and miss him deeply. At times like this, when people try to confuse us as to right and wrong, who is oppressed and who is an oppressor, I think about him. He survived one of the most extreme periods of hatred and oppression in history. I ask myself what he would think When I dig deep, I know that one of the reasons I am on this lifelong journey of struggle against unfair systems of power, is his legacy. I know that he stood for a world where the psychosis of genocide could not be repeated. This literally informs everything I do. If you are passionate about fighting antisemitism, as I am, you cannot ignore prejudice and dehumanisation in any of its forms. You cannot be silent when it is weaponised against black people of African heritage. You cannot be complicit in Islamophobia. You cannot tolerate the murder of innocent civilians. You cannot watch Palestine be flattened in the name of security. This mission transcends any one community’s interests, that is the meaning of solidarity. My grandfather’s trauma reminds me that a world in which we are comfortable with killing people in the name of order, security, prosperity, revenge, or any of the other reasons that are inevitably given, is a world in which none of us can ever be safe I know there are Jewish people who have been told those of us who stand against the murder of Palestinians are driven by hatred for them. I hear that fear. I know it’s borne out of trauma. I urge you to engage with the Jewish organisations who are fighting alongside Palestinian brothers and sisters for peace, who are doing such powerful work to dismantle that narrative. I salute them, and every single person who has had the courage to separate themselves from pressure within their own community to take a stand for peace. And for justice. It’s hard. History will judge us. If we stay silent against what is happening in Gaza, we - humanity - we all lose. #knowyourhistory #takeastand #peace
Afua Hirsch Instagram - It’s difficult to find language that adequately conveys how comfortable our political leaders have become with overt racism, outright lies, and rhetoric that costs lives Just when you thought we had hit rock bottom with Sajid Javid, we got Priti Patel. When she seemed an unparalleled disaster, we got Suella Braverman. There may be no accountability but we will not forget #racist #leaders #politics #oppression #knowyourhistory

Afua Hirsch Instagram - Much of our political and media establishment created the racist, anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim sentiment that’s now out of control violence in the UK and did so over years and decades to the point where it was embraced by the mainstream and normalised I’m not interested in anything that’s not a critique of that #Media #riots #UK #knowyourhistory Link to full vid in bio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym17GlDVBFk The fact that it’s four years old tells you everything you need to know about how predictable and preventable this is

Afua Hirsch Instagram - “I feel like I need to man up. And not in the toxic way that people tell young boys to ‘man up’, because I feel like, let the youths cry. Let the youts feel, innit…. For me, it’s what a good dad would do for his son.” Spent a day with Big Mike. We talked about manhood, body image, purpose and love, baked a cake together, and I wrote about it for @edward_enninful @britishvogue It was one of my absolute faves and so is he @stormzy 🙌🏽🖤 🍰✨🦸🏿‍♂️

Afua Hirsch Instagram - Deeply ironic to me that so many universities’ responses to these student protests seem profoundly uneducated Educate yourself by reading. One book I recommend Student resistance: a history of the unruly subject By Mark Edelman Boren My takeaways: 1. As long as there have been students; there have been student protests 2. Our media’s obsession with centres of formal political power makes it ill-equipped to understand or analyse protests like this, hence the allegation they are anarchic displays of pointless disruption. They are anything but 3. The decision to meet peaceful protest with violence - eg inviting riot police onto campus - tends to be what rallies wider public opinion in favour of the protesters. So self defeating even by its own standards 4. There is no justification for educational institutions not being transparent about their financial dealings. And divestment works #Student #Protests #Resistance #Gaza #Ceasefire #divest #freespeech #USC

Afua Hirsch Instagram - France’s President Macron to former French colonies in Africa as they have the audacity to seek liberation “I think someone forgot to say thank you” Um, maybe it’s France who forgot to say thank you The role African soldiers played in fighting for France in WW2, suffering under Nazi occupation, and sacrificing their lives for the Resistance, is only the tip of the iceberg As Jacques Chiraq said in 2007: “Without Africa, France will slide down into the rank of a third world power” If you haven’t seen the essential movie Camp de Thiaroye, by the legendary Senegalese director Ousmane Sembène, this is your reminder to make it right Clips from my documentary series Africa Rising Senegal, 2019 Sembène died in 2007 but I got to talk to his assistant director Clarence Thomas Delgado Directed by @alexbrisland DoP @peteallibone Sound @louisinnis #AfricanRenaissance #Africa #Decolonise #film #africanrenaissance #africarising #France #neocolonialism #knowyourhistory
Afua Hirsch Instagram - “Israel’s annihilation of Gaza, provisioned by Western democracies… sought from the very beginning ‘to make the entire Gaza Strip uninhabitable, and to debilitate its population to such a degree that it would either die out or seek all possible options to flee the territory’” “I write out of that guilt – a broad human condition after Israel’s livestreamed mass-murder spree in the Middle East– and the obligation that the living have to the innocent dead I also write with the faith that there is such a thing as solidarity between human beings as human beings” Mishra’s solidarity has already cost him – he describes how the lecture that would turn into this book cost him a high profile event at the Barbican, was cancelled once they realised what he was going to say, and his column at Bloomberg. I can see why people don’t want you to engage with this. You won’t be the same after. It’s *the* most essential thing you can read right now “The World After Gaza: A History”, by Pankaj Mishra Published @fernpress_ @penguinukbooks Out today
Afua Hirsch Instagram - Tomorrow on Happy Place, @afuahirsch joins Fearne for a powerful and eye-opening chat about how we see ourselves, including: 💛 The hidden history behind modern beauty standards 💛 How reconnecting with ancestral rituals can help us embrace our bodies 💛 The importance of questioning where our insecurities really come from Afua encourages us to celebrate the wisdom in aging, embrace who we truly are, and ask ourselves: Do I actually think this, or have I been taught it? It’s an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation - you won’t want to miss it. Catch the full episode tomorrow Monday 24th February, wherever you get your podcasts! 🎧✨
Afua Hirsch Instagram - Now that there is a ceasefire in this war, the other war will intensify – the one for control of the narrative Over the last few weeks we have seen the attempt to maninuplate the telling of this story in so many ways The dehumanisation of Palestinians – in language which brings to mind Fanon: “the terms the settler uses when he mentions the native are zoological terms. He speaks of the yellow man’s reptilian motions, of the stink of the native quarter, of breeding swarms, of foulness, of spawn, of gesticulations… Those hordes of vital statistics, those hysterical masses, those faces bereft of all humanity, those distended bodies which are like nothing on earth” The killing of journalists. This alone. The prevention of reporters from entering Gaza, making it impossible for reporters to offer the same humanity and pathos they rightly gave Israeli victims of Hamas. Nonprofit Reporters Without Borders has accused Israel of "suffocating journalism in Gaza". We have relied on so many heartbreaking and brave citizen journalists, whose work has made it impossible to turn away High profile entertainment figures cancelled or dropped, including Melissa Barrera, Susan Sarandon, and Maha Dakhil The censorship of statements of solidarity with Palestine, from high profile entertainment platforms A small line in a @politico story is one of the most important things I have read: The Biden administration is “concerned” that an “unitended consequence” of the ceasefire will be allowing journalists to report on what’s *actually* happened in Gaza. In the knowledge that this could jeopardise what public support remains for the devastation it has wrought The tragedies of the last weeks have brought out the humanity in so many observers and consumers of news, transcending immense pressure and the risk of censure to seek the truth. Time to pay attention more than ever #storytelling #media #censorship #journalism #tellthetruth

He speaks of the yellow man’s reptilian motions, of the stink of the native quarter, of breeding swarms, of foulness, of spawn, of gesticulations… Those hordes of vital statistics, those hysterical masses, those faces bereft of all humanity, those distended bodies which are like nothing on earth” The killing of journalists. This alone. The prevention of reporters from entering Gaza, making it impossible for reporters to offer the same humanity and pathos they rightly gave Israeli victims of Hamas. Nonprofit Reporters Without Borders has accused Israel of "suffocating journalism in Gaza". We have relied on so many heartbreaking and brave citizen journalists, whose work has made it impossible to turn away High profile entertainment figures cancelled or dropped, including Melissa Barrera, Susan Sarandon, and Maha Dakhil The censorship of statements of solidarity with Palestine, from high profile entertainment platforms A small line in a @politico story is one of the most important things I have read: The Biden administration is “concerned” that an “unitended consequence” of the ceasefire will be allowing journalists to report on what’s *actually* happened in Gaza. In the knowledge that this could jeopardise what public support remains for the devastation it has wrought The tragedies of the last weeks have brought out the humanity in so many observers and consumers of news, transcending immense pressure and the risk of censure to seek the truth.

Afua Hirsch Instagram - “It is as though I have been surrounded by mirrors of heart, distorting glass. When they approach me, they see only my surroundings, themselves, of figments of their imagination – indeed, everything and anything except me.” ~ Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man How to Know A Person, by David Brooks #books #bookstagram #alwayslearning #knowyourhistory
Afua Hirsch Instagram - Why do we remove our body hair, and who decided we should do this? Prepare to be enlightened. Rounding off this miniseries on Bodies, we bring you the hugely in demand journalist and bestselling author @afuahirsch. Afua Hirsch is at the forefront of discussions about race, history, and culture in Britain today. Her latest book ‘Decolonising My Body: A Radical Exploration Of Rituals And Beauty’, was a revelation for me. It made me question the beauty standards I had always taken for granted, and it was so informative on non-western cultural perspectives on body, asking questions like: Why do Western cultures think body hair is bad? How do non-Western cultures treat puberty and aging? Can we change how we view our bodies from learning how our ancestors did it? In this episode, as well as covering different cultural views on bodies, Afua talks through her view of her body as a young black girl and how that has changed, a life altering moment with Oprah, and why she personally wanted to unlearn and then relearn everything when it came to understanding her body.

Afua Hirsch Instagram - Babel, by R. F. Kuang Radical, intellectual, imaginative, historically accurate and fantasy fictitious - all things I love This woman is CLEVERRRR!!! Also, why did this book not show up on any of my algorithms? One day I will tell you all the extremely random way I came across it Is it because the machines think I’m only interested in Africa and not China? Do they assume someone who likes literary fiction can’t do fantasy? IDK but whatever the reason they are wrong #Babel #Empire #decolonise #fantasy #magic #books #bookstagram #knowyourhistory
Afua Hirsch Instagram - Loved this book! Scattered The making and unmaking of a refugee By @graamna 🇸🇴🖤✨📖 #books #bookstagram #read #stories #refugee #journey PS I Didn’t mean there has never been a visible Somali community in the UK cause I know about Cardiff and South Shields and all the others, and if you don’t know those histories they are important so please look into them and you should also read @nadifamohamed1 ✨ I just meant I remember when there was a more visible Somali community because of people fleeing the civil war and coming to South London in the 1990’s so please don’t troll me 🤓

Afua Hirsch Instagram - This recording I did with Benjamin Zephaniah has stayed with me in so many ways - a candid interview about the ways in which his parents had internalised colonialism and how that in turn deeply affected his life He was so honest, generous and gifted at making complex politics personal and impossible to ignore If you have an @audible_uk subscription, check out the rest of this interview, Ep 5 of We Need to Talk About The British Empire it’s free to listen.

Likes : 9643Afua Hirsch - 8.9K Likes - The man in the center of this photograph is my grandfather Hans Hirsch He survived a childhood lived under Nazi rule as a Jew in Berlin, fleeing in 1938. I never stopped (probably annoyingly) asking him about those experiences. I loved him and miss him deeply. At times like this, when people try to confuse us as to right and wrong, who is oppressed and who is an oppressor, I think about him. He survived one of the most extreme periods of hatred and oppression in history. I ask myself what he would think When I dig deep, I know that one of the reasons I am on this lifelong journey of struggle against unfair systems of power, is his legacy. I know that he stood for a world where the psychosis of genocide could not be repeated. This literally informs everything I do. If you are passionate about fighting antisemitism, as I am, you cannot ignore prejudice and dehumanisation in any of its forms. You cannot be silent when it is weaponised against black people of African heritage. You cannot be complicit in Islamophobia. You cannot tolerate the murder of innocent civilians. You cannot watch Palestine be flattened in the name of security. This mission transcends any one community’s interests, that is the meaning of solidarity. My grandfather’s trauma reminds me that a world in which we are comfortable with killing people in the name of order, security, prosperity, revenge, or any of the other reasons that are inevitably given, is a world in which none of us can ever be safe I know there are Jewish people who have been told those of us who stand against the murder of Palestinians are driven by hatred for them. I hear that fear. I know it’s borne out of trauma. I urge you to engage with the Jewish organisations who are fighting alongside Palestinian brothers and sisters for peace, who are doing such powerful work to dismantle that narrative. I salute them, and every single person who has had the courage to separate themselves from pressure within their own community to take a stand for peace. And for justice. It’s hard. History will judge us. If we stay silent against what is happening in Gaza, we - humanity - we all lose. #knowyourhistory #takeastand #peace

When she seemed an unparalleled disaster, we got Suella Braverman. There may be no accountability but we will not forget #racist #leaders #politics #oppression #knowyourhistory

One book I recommend Student resistance: a history of the unruly subject By Mark Edelman Boren My takeaways: 1. As long as there have been students; there have been student protests 2. Our media’s obsession with centres of formal political power makes it ill-equipped to understand or analyse protests like this, hence the allegation they are anarchic displays of pointless disruption. They are anything but 3. The decision to meet peaceful protest with violence - eg inviting riot police onto campus - tends to be what rallies wider public opinion in favour of the protesters. So self defeating even by its own standards 4. There is no justification for educational institutions not being transparent about their financial dealings. And divestment works #Student #Protests #Resistance #Gaza #Ceasefire #divest #freespeech #USC

This alone. The prevention of reporters from entering Gaza, making it impossible for reporters to offer the same humanity and pathos they rightly gave Israeli victims of Hamas. Nonprofit Reporters Without Borders has accused Israel of "suffocating journalism in Gaza". We have relied on so many heartbreaking and brave citizen journalists, whose work has made it impossible to turn away High profile entertainment figures cancelled or dropped, including Melissa Barrera, Susan Sarandon, and Maha Dakhil The censorship of statements of solidarity with Palestine, from high profile entertainment platforms A small line in a @politico story is one of the most important things I have read: The Biden administration is “concerned” that an “unitended consequence” of the ceasefire will be allowing journalists to report on what’s *actually* happened in Gaza.

Likes : 1821Afua Hirsch - 1.8K Likes - Why do we remove our body hair, and who decided we should do this? Prepare to be enlightened. Rounding off this miniseries on Bodies, we bring you the hugely in demand journalist and bestselling author @afuahirsch. Afua Hirsch is at the forefront of discussions about race, history, and culture in Britain today. Her latest book ‘Decolonising My Body: A Radical Exploration Of Rituals And Beauty’, was a revelation for me. It made me question the beauty standards I had always taken for granted, and it was so informative on non-western cultural perspectives on body, asking questions like: Why do Western cultures think body hair is bad? How do non-Western cultures treat puberty and aging? Can we change how we view our bodies from learning how our ancestors did it? In this episode, as well as covering different cultural views on bodies, Afua talks through her view of her body as a young black girl and how that has changed, a life altering moment with Oprah, and why she personally wanted to unlearn and then relearn everything when it came to understanding her body.

Also, why did this book not show up on any of my algorithms? One day I will tell you all the extremely random way I came across it Is it because the machines think I’m only interested in Africa and not China? Do they assume someone who likes literary fiction can’t do fantasy? IDK but whatever the reason they are wrong #Babel #Empire #decolonise #fantasy #magic #books #bookstagram #knowyourhistory

Scattered The making and unmaking of a refugee By @graamna 🇸🇴🖤✨📖 #books #bookstagram #read #stories #refugee #journey PS I Didn’t mean there has never been a visible Somali community in the UK cause I know about Cardiff and South Shields and all the others, and if you don’t know those histories they are important so please look into them and you should also read @nadifamohamed1 ✨ I just meant I remember when there was a more visible Somali community because of people fleeing the civil war and coming to South London in the 1990’s so please don’t troll me 🤓
