The Emotional Experience of Political Defeat w/ Hannah Proctor

Hannah Proctor joins PTO to discuss her book Burnout: The Emotional
Experience of Political Defeat.  Amongst other aspects of
the book, we discussed the practice of Maoist self-criticism and
its influence on the American and European New Left, the accounts
of women involved in the 1984-85 miners strike following its defeat
at the hands of the Thatcher government, and about the Paris
Commune of 1871 and the fate of the communards who were exiled to
the French penal colony in New Caledonia.
