Stuart Hall: Class, Race and Conjuncture (part 2)

In this epic effort, Jem completes his narrative account of Stuart Hall’s career and public images, from Marxism Today to the posthumous revival of his reputation, concluding with some remarks on his own relationship to Hall’s work since the 1980s. 

*Note from Jem*:
Having listened back to the podcast I noticed a couple of historical details I think I got wrong while in full flow. I don’t think the 1988 Labour Policy Review was recommending moving from nationalisation to mutualisation in the case of public utilities, as I say on the show. Instead I think it was recommending this approach to other kinds of business. The 1996 article by Hall and Jacques, denouncing New, Labour that I mention was in the Guardian rather than the New Statesman, I’m pretty sure.
