Radical History Review

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Radical History Review is a scholarly journal published by Duke University Press.[1]

RHR positions itself "at the point where rigorous historical scholarship and active political engagement converge." [2] The Journal addresses " issues of gender, race, sexuality, imperialism, and class, stretching the boundaries of historical analysis to explore Western and non-Western histories." [3] It advertises that it "publishes the best marxist and non-marxist radical scholarship in jargon-free English. [4]

The New Criterion describes RHR as "a publication that plainly states it 'rejects conventional notions of scholarly neutrality and ‘objectivity,’ and approaches history from an engaged, critical, political stance.'" [5]

"The journal has recently distinguished itself by publishing a seris of interviews with (several historians) exploring the relationship in their work between historical scholarship and political commitment." [6]

In 1999 the editors described "the journal’s recent move toward a more overtly political discussion of historical topics." [7]
