H-RADHIST. H-RADHIST serves as a forum for the discussion of historical, theoretical and political issues that routinely emerge from the study of history from a radical perspective, in which knowledge of the past is informed by a commitment to a radically democratic and egalitarian transformation of the present. The intended audience is historians and other scholars who approach the past as feminists, radical democrats, marxists, neo-marxists and post-structuralists, as well as the larger audience of activists who want to enter the historical conversation.
