A wonderful and very pertinent wrap up of one of the funnest and most intellectually stimulating conferences I have attended so far!
Jana Osterkamp + Jonathan Singerton's "How Central European History Became a Vibrant Field — and Where It Might Go Next" reflects on what we can learn from the 20 CEHC blogs written by emerging scholars. I love this piece. Please share. cehc.hypotheses.org/473

I'm so happy to see one of my favourite books come out in English next week! Jeanne takes readers on an incredible journey through a Spanish Commune-style revolution that lasted much longer than its Paris counterpart, with impressive details on the lives and ideas of its everyday supporters.
"A Spanish Commune". A book about a Spanish little sister of the Paris Commune, the Canton of Cartagena (1873).

Muy orgullosa de anunciar la salida de la versión inglesa de mi libro Federación o muerte el 14 de octubre en Verso.
