Description
Collected here are articles and reviews capturing the breadth of Bryan Palmer’s interests as a radical historian. Themes as diverse as the analytic and political contributions of Eric Hobsbawm and E.P. Thompson, the conflicted legacies of American Trotskyism, and the representation of class politics in Scorsese’s Gangs of New York are covered.
