Radical History: Thinking, Writing And Engagement, Terry Irving, Rowan Cahill

This is an extended review of 'Radical Newcastle' (NewSouth Publishing, Sydney, 2015), edited by James Bennett, Nancy Cushing and Erik Ecklund. We criticise the book's neglect of the tradition of radical history writing and the recent radical scholarship on cities. We reveal its roots in academic empiricism and the liberal academic culture. Nonetheless there are some excellent chapters that embrace radical history positions.
