"Workers Of The World, Embrace!" Homophobia In The French Extreme Left’
Cowley Books | 09.05.2011 08:59 | Gender | History | Workers' Movements | South Coast
As the French revolutionary Daniel Guérin (1904-1988) once remarked, the European labour movement’s record with regard to homosexuality has not, on the whole, been
positive. ... Guérin is a rare example of a marxist revolutionary and a bisexual who dared to address these problems rigorously and very publicly at a time when to do so was to invite opprobrium from all quarters — including most of his supposed comrades.
As part of our European Anarchist Currents book talk series, Dave Berry, author of ‘The History of the French Anarchist Movement 1917-1945’, senior lecturer in European Studies at Loughborough University and founder member of the Anarchist Studies Network, will be talking about his latest area of research on Daniel Guérin (1904-88) and the libertarian communist tradition (from 1917 to the present).
7 pm, Wednesday 11 May, Cowley Bookshop Talks, 12 London Road, Brighton, BN1 4JA.
Free and open to all.
