In 1987, Bookmarks published Revolutionary Rehearsals, a collection of
essays on France 1968, Chile 1972-3, Portugal 1974-5, Iran 1978-9 and
Poland 1980-1. Were a “second edition” to appear a quarter century later,
what new experiences would need to be taken into account? This weekend
school will explore some aspects of the revolutionary experience of the
past 25 years.
