Radical History Review is a scholarly journal published by Duke University Press.[1]

The journal describes its position as "at the point where rigorous historical scholarship and active political engagement converge".[2] In 1979, the journal advertised that it "publishes the best marxist and non-marxist radical scholarship in jargon-free English".[3]

Articles in the journal cover the relationships that "issues of gender, race, sexuality, imperialism, and class" have with histories.[2] In 1999, the editors described "the journal's recent move toward a more overtly political discussion of historical topics".[4]

Reception

The New Criterion describes RHR as "a publication that plainly states it 'rejects conventional notions of scholarly neutrality and 'objectivity,' and approaches history from an engaged, critical, political stance.'"[5]

Jon Wiener in the 1991 book Professors, Politics, and Pop wrote, "The journal has recently distinguished itself by publishing a series of interviews with (several historians) exploring the relationship in their work between historical scholarship and political commitment."[6]
