Since then, a collection of pamphlets has appeared on an astonishing variety of topics, from nautical women to radical brewing, from state spies to suffragettes, from social crime to the labour movement to literary history. Through the pamphlets, we can peer through the windows of workhouses and factories, and hear the voices of pilots, anti-fascists, black GIs, poachers, and others so often silenced in mainstream accounts.<\/p>\n<p>In this session, members of the Bristol Radical History Group will talk about our approach to writing and publishing. That is, how our publications relate to <strong>Bristol<\/strong>, how we situate ourselves within traditions of <strong>radical<\/strong>ism, and how we take a <strong>history<\/strong>-from-below approach. This will include discussion about radical writing and the publishing process. We will reflect on the value of researching and revealing overlooked histories through the archives and share some tips on writing your own radical history.<\/p>\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-21332 img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brh.org.uk\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Radical-pamphlets-image-300x226.png\" alt=\"Selection of radical pamphlets from 1600s to BRHG radical pamphleteer series\" width=\"300\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brh.org.uk\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Radical-pamphlets-image-300x226.png 300w, https:\/\/www.brh.org.uk\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Radical-pamphlets-image-604x456.png 604w, https:\/\/www.brh.org.uk\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Radical-pamphlets-image-768x580.png 768w, https:\/\/www.brh.org.uk\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Radical-pamphlets-image-100x75.png 100w, https:\/\/www.brh.org.uk\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Radical-pamphlets-image-270x204.png 270w, https:\/\/www.brh.org.uk\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Radical-pamphlets-image-150x113.png 150w, https:\/\/www.brh.org.uk\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Radical-pamphlets-image.png 799w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bristol Radical History Group has produced seventy publications, mostly within the Radical Pamphleteer series, with several more pending.
