Thirty Years of Radical History
This special issue of Radical History Review (RHR) offers not only a self-portrait of the journal but also a retrospective of radical history as a movement, an ideology, and a transformative force in historical scholarship. In an engaging combination of interviews, articles, and round-table discussions, this issue highlights the relentless challenge that radical history has posed to liberal and conservative paradigms. Recognizing the creative power of pluralism, the RHR editors have marshalled a diverse troop of historical scholars in this issue. In "Forum on Radical History," sixteen historians discuss how the notion of radicalism has affected the way they write, teach, and live, and in "A ...

History from South Africa
More starkly than any other contemporary social conflict, the crisis in South Africa highlights the complexities and conflicts in race, gender, class, and nation. These original articles, most of which were written by South African authors, are from a special issue of the Radical History Review, published in Spring 1990, that mapped the development of interpretations of the South African past that depart radically from the official history. The articles range from the politics of black movements in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to studies of film, television, and theater as reflections of modern social conflict. History from South Africa is presented in two main sections: discussion...
Queering Archives: Historical Unravelings
This issue of Radical History Review explores how activists, archivists, and scholars— in engaging grassroots and institutional LGBT archiving efforts and questions of digitization, systems of classification, migration and paperwork, criminal records, postcolonialism, performance, photography, museums, and historical methods—have radically opened up the notion of the queer archive. The essays work to identify, and then fracture, the assembly and systematization of archival knowledge regarding sexualities and gender.
Historicizing 9/11
As the tenth anniversary of the September 11 attacks approaches, the contributors to this issue of Radical History Review discuss the meanings of 9/11 and critically investigate the ties between memorializing and mythologizing. They probe the contested understandings of the attacks in political rhetoric, policy explanations, cinema, literature, visual arts, photography, public spaces, museums, archives, and education. One article examines the relationship of changing accounts of 9/11 to the shifting directions of US foreign policy; another, to the FBI's war on terror at home. In an interview, the historian Andrew Bacevich links 9/11 to "perpetual warfare" and a crisis of civilian control ove...

Visual Archives of Sex
Contributors to this special issue study the visual histories of sex by examining symbols, images, film, and other visual forms ranging from medieval religious icons to twenty-first-century selfies. They argue that engaging BIPOC, antiracist, queer, and feminist perspectives of the past is vital to understanding the complex historical relationships between sex and visual culture and how these relationships continue to shape sexual lives, bodies, myths, and desires. Essay topics include trans visual archives in Francoist Spain, a visual archive of British escort and nightclub hostess Ruth Ellis, pornography and queer pleasure in East Germany, swimsuit advertisements and "bikini blondes" in th...
