In this episode we are delighted to be joined by Dr Alexandra Paulin-Booth, to discuss her book Time and Radical Politics in France, published by Manchester
University Press in 2023. Alex’s work treats the conception of time as both a window and a key into the left and right in France, during the turbulent period between the Dreyfuss Affair and the First World
War.

35. Ronald Grigor Suny
In this episode we were delighted to be joined by Ronald Grigor Suny, one of the most distinguished scholars of the Russian Revolution in the world.

34. Sho Konishi: 'Anarchist Modernity'
In this episode we discuss Sho Konishi's brilliant Anarchist Modernity: Cooperatism and Japanese-Russian Intellectual Relations in Modern Japan (Harvard University Press, 2013).
This book has been on our radar for a long time, and it was a pleasure to spend some time discussing Konishi's framing of anarchism as an alternative vision of modernity, as exemplified in the exchanges between radical thinkers and activists in Japan and Russia from 1880 to 1920.
