In this episode we are joined by Michael Richmond and Alex Charnley to discuss their new work 'Fractured: Race, Class, Gender and the Hatred of Identity Politics,' published with Pluto Press. You can order the book online here: https://www.plutobooks.com/9780745346588/fractured/
A lively and fun conversation, covering the possibilities of universalist approaches, the value of using 'revolutionary time' as an analytical concept, and the paucity of arguments from both right and left which tell us to ignore the material realities of identity.

In this episode we speak with Sophie Turbutt and Josh Newmark, both of whom are undertaking PhDs at the University of Leeds. We begin by speaking about a conference that Sophie and Josh organised in the summer of 2022, titled 'Anarchism in the Iberian Peninsula Symposium,' which was attended by Danny. You can read reflections on this event from both our guests here: pastandpresent.org.uk/reflecting-on-the-anarchism-in-the-iberian-peninsula-pgr-ecr-symposium/
Our discussion then moves on to speak about recent articles that Sophie and Josh have published. Firstly, Josh's article on anarchist internationalism and solidarity during the Mexican Revolution, which you can read Open Access here: journal.wrocah.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/WRoCAH-journal-issue-6-spring-1.pdf
We then speak with Sophie about her article on the anarchist sexual revolution and gender politics, which she examines through the advice columns of the journal La Revista Blanca, available Open Access here: cambridge.org/core/journals/contemporary-european-history/article/sexual-revolution-and-the-spanish-anarchist-press-bodies-birth-control-and-free-love-in-the-1930s-advice-columns-of-la-revista-blanca/D3A34E5C5157F4966BEE1A9ED08A3752

In this episode we are joined by Arturo Zoffmann Rodriguez of Universidade Nova de Lisboa in Portugal. Arturo's work focuses on the transnational and comparative history of revolutions and radical ideas, with special focus on Russia and the Hispanic world. Our discussion focuses on Arturo's studies on the impact of the Russian revolution of 1917 on anarchist movements around the world, with a particular emphasis on the CNT in Spain, which can be found in the publications Revolutionary Russia and the European History Quarterly. A more comprehensive bibliography of Arturo's work can be found here: https://fcsh-pt.academia.edu/ArturoZoffmannRodriguez
This was a fascinating and lively chat with an exciting young scholar, which we both thoroughly enjoyed. Arturo is currently transforming his PhD thesis, which centres on the subjects we cover in this episode, into a book and we look forward to seeing this come out in the near future.

This episode provides an overview of the biographical essay on the Spanish anarchist activist Juan Santana Calero (1914-1939) contained in Miquel Amorós, Los incontrolados de 1937. Memorias militantes de los amigos de Durruti (Aldarull, 2014).
-
In this episode we discuss Eric Hobsbawm's classic - and much-criticised - study of social banditry, millenarian insurrection and mob politics, 'Primitive Rebels' (1959).
This key text remains a touchstone for discussions of anarchism, and is often the first port of call for English speakers interested in the Spanish movement. We reflect on Hobsbawm's approach, its strengths and shortcomings, and how the book resonates with contemporary political analysis.

This episode is something a little different, a recording of a live event we held with in Liverpool in December 2021 with Joe Glenton (@joejglenton), discussing his recent book Veteranhood: Rage and Hope in British Ex-Military Life, published by Repeater. You can buy the book directly from Repeater here: https://repeaterbooks.com/product/veteranhood-rage-and-hope-in-british-ex-military-life/
Veteranhood is a fantastic book; poignant, witty and angry, as well as highly readable. We wanted this event to be as open as possible, with a couple of readings from Joe and questions from ourselves, but mainly letting the conversation run through the audience.
As a live event, some of the sound quality isn’t great throughout, but we hope you find it as interesting and as fun as we did at the time….

*Note, this episode contains some strong language*
In this episode we were joined by Max Farrar to discuss his forthcoming biography, 'Arthur France MBE: The Life and Times of an African-Caribbean-British Man' (Hansib 2021). Arthur France was born in the tiny Caribbean island of Nevis, where he began his activism in trade unionism and black power. After moving to Leeds in 1964 he became a key figure in the emerging black radical cultural movements in the UK through the 1960s and 70s, most notably in his work founding Leeds Carnival.
This was a fascinating, wide-ranging and fun conversation with Max. You can find more of Max's writings, over a lifetime of activism and reflection, at https://www.maxfarrar.org.uk/

This episode is something of a special, a recording of our first ever ‘live’ event, which was held on Friday 8 October on Zoom. We were delighted to be joined by Mike Finn and Dana Mills, to mark the recent publication of Mike’s book ‘Debating Anarchism’ (Bloomsbury 2021).
Mike’s book is a brilliant, provocative introduction to the debates which surround anarchist history and theory, so we felt this would be a good opportunity to explore some of these with Mike himself, and Dana, an activist and author of – amongst many other works – a brilliant biography of Rosa Luxembourg, published in 2020 with Reaktion Books. Towards the end of the conversation we opened up for some audience questions.
If you're interested in buying 'Debating Anarchism,' you can get 35% off paperback and e-book editions when buying from the Bloomsbury website, using the following codes:

In this episode we discuss A.M. Gittlitz's 'I Want to Believe' (Pluto Press, 2020), a study of the remarkable development of a branch of Cold War Trotskyism under the direction of the Argentine J. Posadas.
Gittlitz combines an astute reading of the Posadist movement with humour and pathos, bringing together stories of nuclear apocalypse, 'coffee shop wankers' and armed guerrilla struggles in Latin America, resonating with present struggles around migration, science fiction, Bogdanov's dispute with Lenin, Carl Sagan, the arrival of the conquistadors in South America, memes, the Argentinian worker's movement and the X-files. Stay tuned for Jim's revelation about dolphins at the end of this conversation....

In this episode we discuss Paul Avrich's classic 'Kronstadt 1921' (Princeton University Press, 1970), marking 100 years since this pivotal event in radical history. Along the way we discuss anti-Semitism within critiques of communism, the perils of a mechanistic understanding of class struggle and historical change, the nature of Bolshevik smear campaigns, and the significance of 1921 to the prospects of internationalist socialism.
The book is available online here: https://libcom.org/library/kronstadt-1921-paul-avrich-0
There are many, many pieces to recommend about the Kronstadt uprising and its suppression. A number of useful introductions are available on libcom.org, including:
https://libcom.org/blog/kronstadt-revolt-one-hundred-years-counter-revolution-02032021 https://libcom.org/library/70th-anniversary-kronstadt-rebellion https://libcom.org/history/1921-the-kronstadt-rebellionSee also the excellent Solidarity publication 'Kronstadt Uprising' by Ida Mett, available here: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/ida-mett-the-kronstadt-commune.
Over the weekend of 20-21 March 2021 Danny participated in the conference 'Kronstadt as Revoutionary Utopia, 1921-2021 and Beyond'. The conference website hosts a wide range of pieces reflecting on the event and its legacy: https://kronstadt2021.wordpress.com/

In this episode we're delighted to be joined by Martha Ackelsberg (Smith College, Massachusetts) to discuss her classic study of Mujeres Libres, 'Free Women of Spain,' on the 30th anniversary of its original publication.
Martha's work has been hugely influential in the study of anarchism, gender and the Spanish Civil War, and has shaped the work of both Danny and Jim. We were thrilled that she could join us for this discussion, which covers the history of anarchist feminism in Spain, sexism within the movement, the problems of equating gender emancipation with fighting, and the lessons of the Mujeres Libres for today's radicals.
You can find more about Martha's extensive work on these subjects here: smith.edu/academics/faculty/martha-ackelsberg
In 2016 Danny and Jim were delighted to guest edit a special issue of International Journal of Iberian Studies on transnationalism and Spanish anarchism, featuring a brilliant article by Martha on the links between radical feminists in Spain and Argentina. The journal is available here, or you can get in touch with the show for access.

In this episode we discuss Marie Fleming's 'The Geography of Freedom' (Black Rose Books, 1988), a study of anarchist geographer Elisée Reclus who was a key figure in the 19th century movement.
We are very grateful that Black Rose provided us with this book to discuss. Black Rose have been publishing alternative, radical works from their base in Montreal since the 1970s, and operate a range of brilliant initiatives, including a pay-what-you-can solidarity e-bookshop. They recently hosted a conference on Peter Kropotkin, inspired by their recent publication of Kropotkin's Siberian diaries. You can watch this event on their YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/blackrosebooks
Keep an eye out for their new website, which will stress digital availability and access to many titles, with the option to buy a copy. This will be launched soon on their existing domain: https://blackrosebooks.com/. You can also follow Black Rose on Twitter @blackrosebooks

In this episode we were delighted to be joined by our friend, colleague and comrade Dr Matthew Kerry (University of Stirling) to discuss his book 'Unite Proletarian Brothers!: Radicalism and Revolution in the Second Spanish Republic' (Institute of Historical Research, 2020), which is available to everyone as an Open Access publication here: bit.ly/3is39X9
We discuss radicalism, fascism, the state and proletarian unity during the 1930s, exploring why and how the mining valleys of northern Spain erupted into revolution in October 1934, in what can be seen as the last attempt to seize state power through mass insurrection by the working class in Europe.
