Summary:What is a radical intellectual? An 'intellectual' is not just a certain type of person, but instead needs to be seen as having a particular type of social role. Though many laudable studies of individual people & movements have been written, the rich history of Australian radical intellectuals has never been told as a whole story. In 2004 the Reason in Revolt project begun as an attempt to map the diverse threads of Australian radicalism. The prime focus of the Reason in Revolt project has been those who disseminated radical argument in the public domain. This article explores two political movements in Australian history & the role of Australian intellectuals in the development of counter-hegemonic alternatives. References.
