Presse communiste, presse radicale (1919-2000): rôle, organisation et perspectives

De la fin du XIXe siècle à nos jours, une presse écrite radicale (allant de la gauche à l'extrême gauche, à travers toutes les nuances qu'a revêtues cette dernière) a scandé l'actualité et le combat politiques, s'érigeant en porte-parole, en agitateur, en organisateur et parfois même en raison d'être de multiples organisations.

Cold War History

Cold War History: Call for submissions

As the Cold War ended in the early 1990s, scholars of contemporary international affairs started taking a new look at the basic conflicts that had dominated the latter part of the twentieth century. Over the last fifteen years a new historical literature on the Cold War era has come into being, greatly helped by the increase in access to archives and other source materials in most countries of the world, from the former Communist states in Europe, to China, to South Africa and elsewhere.

Tamiment Seminar in Labor and Social History

The Tamiment Seminar in Labor and Social History is designed to bring together faculty and graduate students to discuss work in progress. We believe that we have an exciting program this year. The seminar is transnational in focus and defines the disciplines of labor and social history rather broadly. Papers are pre-circulated.

The seminar meets in the Tamiment Library conference room from 6:30 - 8:30 (10th floor, New York University's Bobst Library, 70 Washington Square South).
