Radical Sovereignty: Disha Karnad Jani Interviews Tony Wood
How did a pan-continental vision of “Latin America” emerge and intersect with changing ideas of the nation-state among leftists in Latin America in the interwar years? What impact did the Mexican Revolution and the Bolshevik Revolution have on the aspirational visions and political projects of social transformation within the region? How does one conceptualize and, subsequently, write a transnational history about a category like the “radical”? Tony Wood addresses these questions, and others, in this conversation with Disha Karnad Jani about his latest book Radical Sovereignty: Debating Race, Nation, and Empire in Interwar Latin America (University of California Press, 2025), which examines the history of ideas about race, anti-imperialism, indigeneity, the state, and sovereignty in Latin America during the early twentieth century.

Teaching Gender: Disha Karnad Jani Interviews Samuel Rutherford
Samuel Rutherford—a Lecturer in LGBTQ+ History and the History of Sexuality at the University of Glasgow and a founding editor of the JHI Blog—returns to the Blog to speak with Disha Karnad Jani about his book Teaching Gender: The British University and the Rise of Heterosexuality, 1860–1939 (2025). In this conversation, Rutherford discusses how English and Scottish colleges and universities from the mid-nineteenth to the early twentieth century contributed to the construction of gender and sexual identities in modern Britain. And, in discussing this history, Rutherford also addresses attendant questions about the “theoretical imperatives” that undergird this work, the disciplinary flexibility required for such a study, and more.

Vulgar Marxism: Disha Karnad Jani Interviews Edward Baring
In this interview with Disha Karnad Jani for the In Theory podcast, Edward Baring returns to the JHI Blog to offer another discussion of his most recent work, Vulgar Marxism: Revolutionary Politics and the Dilemmas of Worker Education, 1891–1931 (2025). Their conversation covers the book’s main focus on “vulgar Marxism” and how this idea serves as a unique entry point into understanding the relationship between Marxist theory and the practice of worker education throughout the early-to-mid twentieth century. This conversation also provides a new perspective on, and further texture to, the numerous questions and critical insights raised by the book (from whether this story might serve as a pre-history of the Cold War to what bearing this history of worker education has on thinking about mass politics today).
