Listen Later

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we discuss a wonderful resource for revolutionary scholars and activists - Revolutionary Papers.  Revolutionary Papers is a transnational research collaboration exploring 20th century periodicals of Leftanti-imperial and anti-colonial critical production, and in this discussion, we talk about the goals of the project, the intended audience, and forms that this project has taken.  You'll want to be sure to check out their fantastic work! Some additional resources for you are the South Asian Research & Resource Center, as well as https://www.jamhoor.org which is a Left media platform focusing on South Asia and its diasporas.   Koni Benson is a historian at the University of the Western Cape. Her research focuses on collective interventions in histories of contested development and the mobilization, demobilization, and remobilization of struggle history in southern Africa’s past and present.  You can find her Revolutionary Papers page here.   Sara Kazmi is a scholar, translator, and protest singer, a professor of Literature and Culture of the Global South whose research looks at poetry and drama from 1970s Punjab, in particular focusing on the re-working of oral, folk genres as a literary mode for subverting the bordering logics of the Indian and Pakistani state, and for critiquing the boundaries drawn by caste, patriarchy and institutional religion in the region.  Follow her on instagram and find her Revolutionary Papers page here.   Mahvish Ahmad is an educator, scholar and organiser. She is an Assistant Professor of Human Rights and Politics at the Department of Sociology, London School of Economics, where she studies state violence and the intellectual and political labour of movements targeted in repression.
