Follow up: did they then also relax the rules around purity due to the lack of mikveh?

What methods were used? What kind of fish were the most prized? Was there more fishing from the shore or from boats? What kind of boats were used?

"Ethiopia had between two and four million slaves in the early 20th century, out of a total population of about eleven million."

In American schools and culture, Native Americans are frequently shown treating regular daily tasks as sacred or spiritual (for example, giving thanks for water or corn while making food). Is this actually the case, or were those aspects of NA society reserved for more significant events (like a hunt or religious ceremony)?

So I started listening to this episode of the AskHistorians podcast the other day, and I was very interested to hear about how historians have been revising earlier, racist assumptions that African conurbations weren't "true" or "full" cities. Maybe it was just that I haven't gotten far enough in the podcast yet, and it comes up later, but I want to hear more about what exactly an ancient Horn-of-African city would have looked like and how it would have behaved differently in comparison to a European city of roughly the same time. Obviously I support the idea that these places were true cities, and I don't mean to excuse the racism or the racist people that were responsible for excluding these cities from city-hood, as it were, but I want to know what the differences were, if there were indeed any, so that I can understand why this was even a question in the first place, and so that I can describe the differences accurately and in anti-racist ways.

I'm currently working on a Scandinavia mod for Hearts of Iron IV (yes, I know) and after the fair amount of time it took to prepare everything for the development of Norway's history/feasible alt. history, I decided that it may be best to look for information help when it comes to a nation like Denmark.

What were some of the more pressing issues Denmark faced during the interwar period (1918-1939), either politically, economically, or socially? Was there anything positive that was happening prior to the German invasion and subsequent occupation?

Also, any links to free resources I can read on would be greatly appreciated. Even textbooks on the matter would be a great help. Thank you.

Hello,

Bit of a niche question but I wasn't sure where else I could go with this...

I'm chasing down a lead on how modern China thinks about and reacts to the concept of 'borders' and border disputes. But I'm missing a bibliography on the history of borders overall, unrelated to specifically China (so the theoretical underpinning? if that makes sense?)

In short, I'd like to know if there are any books out there that talk about the history of borderlands in empires and great powers. How the political center treats them, how politicians from those areas thought and acted versus those toward the capital, etcetera. I just need a survey or maybe one good book whose footnotes I can dig through.

It's a weird subject, I know, but I'm very passionate about it and really want to make sure I'm familiar with the relevant texts.
