The Revolutionists: The Story of the Extremists Who Hijacked the 1970s with Jason Burke - Chalke History Festival Special Series
Q: What does the term revolutionist mean, and why did you choose it for the book?
He explains that revolutionist is an 19th-century term capturing a professional revolutionary who blends political aims with violent methods, which allowed the book to examine both revolutionary and terrorist aspects without simplifying the motivations behind violence.
The Revolutionists: The Story of the Extremists Who Hijacked the 1970s with Jason Burke - Chalke History Festival Special Series
Q: What inspired you to want to write and tell this story?
Burke describes how his prior work on Islamic extremism and global conflicts led him to explore the late 1960s radicalization waves, comparing left-wing and Islamic movements to reveal the roots and intersections of revolutionary militancy across regions.
Servus with Emma Southon - Chalke History Festival Special Series
Q: What sources illuminate the enslaved experience in Rome?
Emma discusses epigraphy, tombstones, and authors who critique slavery, as well as the discrepancies between enslaved people's lived experiences and the way they are portrayed in elite writing, highlighting the gaps in our understanding.
Servus with Emma Southon - Chalke History Festival Special Series
Q: How did Roman slavery differ from American slavery in practice and structure?
She notes that Roman slavery was widespread across many sectors, allowed for significant mobility and agency within the enslaved, and existed within a system that could grant household power and even personal wealth, though slaves remained legally property.
Servus with Emma Southon - Chalke History Festival Special Series
Q: What inspired you to write a book about slavery in Rome?
Emma explains that a long-standing interest in slavery as a pervasive social structure led her to explore how it underpinned nearly all aspects of Roman life, from economy to daily interactions, which she argues is often overlooked in mainstream histories.
