Book Title: Teaching with Tricontinental

Subtitle: A sourcebook for students working with radical periodicals

Edited by Danny Millum and Paul Gilbert

Book Description: This volume is the outcome of a set of collaborative staff-student workshops at the University of Sussex that sought to engage students in working with radical periodicals as primary sources. It brings together historians, social scientists, librarians, archivists and digital humanities practitioners, who explore some of the different ways in which such periodicals can be approached by researchers, teachers and their students. Against the decline of mid-century anti-imperialist internationalism, and resurgent forms of internationalist solidarity emerging out of the present moment, the contributors to this volume both argue for and demonstrate the capacity for radical periodicals like Tricontinental to renew students’ imaginations about what is possible, and inform contemporary struggles for liberation in light of lessons from the anti-imperialist past. We hope that this sourcebook provides inspiration and ideas for readers working with similar collections.

Book Description

This volume is the outcome of a set of collaborative staff-student workshops that sought to engage students in working with radical periodicals as primary sources, focusing on collections held in the British Library for Development Studies Legacy Collection at the University of Sussex. It brings together historians, social scientists, librarians, archivists and digital humanities practitioners, who explore some of the different ways in which such periodicals can be approached by researchers, teachers and their students. We hope that this sourcebook provides inspiration and ideas for readers to apply when working with similar collections.

The volume showcases a series of concrete examples of humanities and social sciences students’ engagement with a selection of radical periodicals from the mid-twentieth century, in particular the Tricontinental Bulletin, published by the now-defunct OSPAAAL. Against the decline of mid-century anti-imperialist internationalism, and resurgent forms of internationalist solidarity emerging out of the present moment, the contributors to this volume both argue for and demonstrate the capacity for radical periodicals like Tricontinental to renew students’ imaginations about what is possible, and inform contemporary struggles for liberation in light of lessons from the anti-imperialist past.
