UCL-IA (London) and the Radical Americas Network will host a two-day symposium entitled 'Radical Americas' on 28th and 29th January. The event will bring a range of disciplinary and geographical perspectives to bear on the issue of radicalism in the Americas, encompassing both political radicalism as an object of study, and radical analytical approaches to societies and cultures of the Americas. In addition to the academic papers, there will be films, poetry and songs. From Jose Martí to Paul Robeson via anti-Stalinist abstract painters, harbour workers and Jewish labour organisations, this event will cover two centuries and two continents in pursuit of the radical essence of the Americas. Tickets are £30, or £15 for concessions, including the closing party at Bolivar Hall. If you only wish to come to the closing party, separate tickets are available at £5.
