TWO HISTORIANS FIGHT BACK


BUT THEY ARE OUTSIDE THE ACADEMIC CIRCUIT

Michèle Audin is a university professor, but as a mathematician.  Emmanuel Brandely is a high school teacher.

Discussion at a progressive bookstore on May 23 (2024), a date chosen to call up Bloody Week (May 22-28, 1871) in a neighborhood where desperate fighting took place.


Bloody Week (2021)
Historians against the Commune (2024)

The time has come "to consider the human beings that were these cadavers with respect, to not let them disappear again — which means looking at who they were and what they did."

-- Michèle Audin, Bloody Week, p.9.
