  • Oxford, ‘no platform’ and free speech battles: A short history
    This week former Home Secretary Amber Rudd, who was in charge of the Home Office at the time of the Windrush scandal in 2018, was disinvited by the UNWomen Oxford Society after originally inviting Rudd to speak for International Women’s Day. According to The Guardian, Oxford’s African Caribbean Society claim that they didn’t call for […]
  • Tankie: The origins of an epithet
    A common term used in online left-wing discourses is ‘tankie’. It has been used to describe those who are self-identified Marxist-Leninists and those who defend ‘actually existing socialism’ in its various guises (such as the Soviet Union, the People’s Republic of China, the Eastern Bloc, Cuba, Vietnam and North Korea).

I spoke about my research on the Communist Parties in Britain, Australia and South Africa and anti-colonialism in the inter […]

Here is the blurb: This book is the first to outline the history of the […]

One was Robert Mugabe’s Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU), which was supported by China and North Korea. The other was Joshua Nkomo’s Zimbabwe African People’s Union (ZAPU), which was supported by the Soviet Union, the Eastern Bloc and […]
