The latest: "This examination of the 400-year history of European colonisation through the prism of ‘the political economy of enslavement’, is an act of completion. It integrates historical accounts that are relatively well known with detailed connections to a wider history and legacy of racial slavery. For decades, the history of the repeal of overt slavery by the British state was not so much taught as misrepresented, arguably until the twenty first century. Today, attempts to tell this history as it was and make connections to the modern world are increasingly being presented by the influential and US inflected Right in the UK as treasonable narratives introduced to pollute the purity of British history. Therefore, with accusations of ‘woke history’ to contend with, it is important that this full multidimensional exposure of slavery and its ongoing consequences should become the educative standard."

The latest: "...we learn how, as a child, Gramsci fashioned crude dumbbells for himself out of round stones to do exercises to compensate for the malformation of his spine. We see him writing letters from prison to his landlady, his mother, and his sons. We learn about his wide-ranging intellectual interests..."May 1, 2026
The latest: "What has happened in the 15 years when digitalisation was expected to clean up systems, make governments more efficient, make services more inclusive, reduce poverty, and reduce dependence on the state and reduce inequality? Okay, that last was perhaps never said to have been on the agenda, but it should have been. The articles brought together by the Research Unit in Political Economy (RUPE) analyse, through field surveys and policy documents, the experience of those whom the system has so far failed to serve…."

The latest: "Chester weaves a nuanced story of heroic activism and governmental abuses that extended all the way to the office of the President. He recognizes the complexities of the circumstance and does not look away from the compromises by La Follette and others as they faced overwhelming pressure to get in line with the war effort. The editor of The Forward would eventually announce that the paper was “absolutely loyal” after the United States entered the war. As 1917 gave way to 1918, the Senator from Wisconsin took a lower profile, stopped giving fiery speeches and, finally, softened some of his criticism of Wilson...."

The latest: "....Over dammen var livet enklere. I løpet av krigen utviklet Frankfurterskolen sin virksomhet og bygget opp det som skulle bli deres ubestridte merkevare: «kritisk teori». Gjennom de neste tiårene skulle denne gruppa av tyske eksilanter opparbeide seg heltestatus blant akademikere over hele verden. Nå har imidlertid den amerikanske filosofen Gabriel Rockhill kastet sine kritiske øyne på aktiviteten til dette intellektuelle arbeidslaget – også kjent som Frankfurterskolen...."March 30, 2026
The latest from Mohammed Mhawish: "We have to ask ourselves: Do we know Hind? Of course we’ve heard her voice, or maybe have seen the building someone renamed after her at Columbia in her honor — which matters, and which she would have deserved, and which is still not the same as knowing her. But do we know her laughter, the way she moved through a room, what she was afraid of, what she loved, the world she was building inside herself at six years old? We learn none of it from the film. We learn it, if we learn it at all, from the interviews her mother gave on the side, on other people’s platforms. The film that claims her voice does not make space for her life."
