Hossam el-Hamalawy's personal annotations on this page

elhamalawy
  • A former pupil of Ralph Miliband at the University of Leeds, it was during the 1960s and particularly the year 1968 while around the London School of Economics that Chris Harman came to prominence as a leader of the student revolt,. It seems he had embarked on a Phd with Miliband when 1968 broke out - but then abandoned this along with any idea of making an academic career - no doubt agreeing with the sentiment of Lenin that 'It is more pleasant and useful to go through the ''experience of revolution'' than to write about it.'
