In its heyday, motorcycle speedway packed stadiums on both sides of the Iron Curtain. Via archival research, oral history, and fieldwork in multiple states this essay argues that speedway is uniquely placed to complicate tired Cold War binaries. Regardless of prevailing political systems, it thrived in provincial settings, as tours, itinerant riders, and machinery ensured regular interactions between speedway’s ‘entangled peripheries’. When small-town Swedes and aspirant Soviets challenged the British Commonwealth’s on-track dominance, this sport born at the imperial margins thrust Muslim riders from the Russian step into the limelight, and Australasian world champions harnessed superior Czechoslovak engineering.

Until 1994, men were not recognized legally as victims of rape in England and Wales. This article explores the history of male survivors of rape there, establishing the uneven patchwork of support services available to them prior to 1994. It argues that a growing psychiatric literature which studied male survivors of sexual violence was a major factor in convincing lawmakers to include men as potential victims of rape in updated sexual offence legislation. Other medical professionals played key roles in bringing male survivors to police attention, but psychiatric research was most influential in changing the policy agenda in this arena.

In 1699, London’s Billingsgate fish market was confirmed as a ‘free market’ by parliament. This statute marked the culmination of a commercial conflict between London’s Fishmongers’ Company and their arriviste rivals, the Company of Free Fishermen. This article uses the conflict to examine shifting ideas and practices governing the food markets of early modern London. Tensions between the popular values of the moral economy and the novel commercial and military priorities of central government placed strain on traditional understandings of economic ‘freedom’, as authorities increasingly came to accept the role of market competition in the allocation of basic foodstuffs.

Written in close proximity to Sri Lanka’s 2022 people’s uprising, this is a conversation between two historians, one from the University of Colombo and the other from the University of Cambridge, about the long roots of violence in Sri Lankan society. It is an account of the lived experience of violence on 9 May 2022, which was a defining event of the uprising. What occurred on this date is cast here within various alternative historical itineraries. The article experiments with groundedness and time travel; it acknowledges the positionality of the authors, creating a solidarity across borders. This approach responds to critiques of the political naivety and colonialist methodology of empiricist history, making history of political use and public value once again.
