%X The guest editors of a special issue of Race & Class 60 no. 3 (2019), ¡®Solidarity here and everywhere: the lifework of Barbara Harlow¡¯, provide a short biography of Harlow and discuss her key works: Resistance Literature; Barred: women, writing and political detention; and After Lives: legacies of revolutionary writing. They explain the importance of her work as ¡®a critic of both the world and the text¡¯ across disciplines, in establishing new fields of study, and as a reviewer. A symposium in October 2017 of former students had commemorated her path-breaking work in terms of decolonisation, imperialism and literature. Two of Harlow¡¯s unfinished book projects ¨C on anti-apartheid activist Ruth First and on the challenges of drone warfare ¨C as well as tributes from those who had been influenced by her teaching are flagged up. The authors explain why they choose the phrase ¡®solidarity here and everywhere¡¯ from Edward Said to title the issue
