6. Re: Fisher on Abidor, 'May Made Me: An Oral History of the 1968 Uprising in France'

   Though I certainly appreciate this thoughtful and largely positive review, Daniel Fisher makes a false assumption that needs clarification on my part. He writes that " Abidor’s perspective on May ’68 seems to have limited the potential for greater depth and breadth in this oral history." Fisher gets things precisely backwards and fails to take an aspect of oral history into account: what happens when the oral historian has his point of view changed by those he interviews?

7. H-Socialisms Seeks Book Reviewers

   H-Socialisms fseeks book reviewers on the history, practices, and relevance of ‘socialisms’, past and present. Socialism has meant many things to many people, and we hope for H-Socialisms to reflect this diversity of perspectives and interests. Topics of interest include collective action, religious and secular millenarianisms, populist upsurges, the traditional foci on social democracy, marxism, and anarchism, the newer independent and autonomous social movements, recent trends regarding the commons and communalization, intersectional and identity politics, and much more.
