The relationship between the left and nationalism is an ongoing field of discussion and debate. We join the authors of the recent Nations and Nationalism themed section, ‘The Left(s) and Nationalism(s) in contemporary Western Europe’ to look at nationalism and the left in Spain, Italy, the UK, in green politics, and more. As ever, we’ll be live on Facebook and YouTube, with members being invited to join us on Zoom.
