The Global Roots of Radical Public History Reading List

Collaborative Activity of IFPH 2024 Panel 29: The Radical Roots of Public History What histories have been lost in the efforts to create a usable past for the public history field? How can we center the efforts of individuals and communities that have appeared, at first glance, to be on the margins of public history practice? And how does recognizing these individual and collective contributions reframe how we practice and teach public history today? The 2021 open-access book Radical Roots: Public History and a Tradition of Social Justice Activism began the work of creating a more expansive record of the origins of public history affirms the critical contributions of past public historians and the work of radical public historians today who view social justice as an integral part of the work of public history. Yet the stories in Radical Roots, which take place in the United States, are only one piece of a much larger picture. We hope that this panel will serve as a springboard to a more international expansion of the Radical Roots project. Mindful of the diverse local contexts that have shaped the many "origin stories" of public history practice around the globe, we invite you to add books, journal articles, or other scholarly outputs that address the radical roots of public history in other international contexts. Readings will be added to the Zotero open group library Thank you!
