Review<span> </span></em>seeks contribution for a special
issue entitled Revolutionary Papers. This issue will examine
periodicals and other print ephemera—including newspapers,
cultural and literary journals, magazines, and pamphlets—as
sites of Left, anti-imperial, and anti-colonial critical
production across the Global South. During struggles against
colonialism, Apartheid, and postcolonial violence, revolutionary
papers generated oppositional networks, critical politics, left
mobilizations, literary scenes, and alternative artistic
practices. Often produced in exile, forced underground, or
excluded from traditional sites of intellectual production such
as the university, they served as conduits and catalysts of
collective critique and literature, discussion, and political or
cultural self-definition. Political and cultural dissenters
relied on the periodical’s flexibility, circulatory power, and
capacity to foster intellectual and literary scenes to fashion
new fields of thought. Editors and contributors developed
analyses, critiques, and alternative visions through records of
debates, clubs and gatherings, essays, letters to the editor,
translations, news, local and international literature,
photography, and visual art. With left periodicals as their
communicative tools, they developed unique political
vocabularies that addressed local concerns while linking them to
global revolutionary praxis. The left periodical manifested in
vastly different forms—from guerilla newsletters to
internationalist literary magazines. Contributors are invited to
select and present from any genre they regard as relevant, to
consider its creation, form, content, readership, “oral
infrastructure,” and circulation and to interrogate the nature
of the periodical’s radicalism. In line with our commitments to
anti-colonial and anti-authoritarian praxis today we also invite
reflections on the political significance of revisiting
revolutionary papers in our current moment of renewed protest
against the continuities and legacies of colonialism. We seek
submissions that explore how periodicals: Forged
