EDITORS COMMENTS
Exiled Communards 1: A Glimpse into the London Exile of French Communist Refugees in 1872 In the heart of London, nestled in the narrow and obscure Newman Passage, near Charing Cross, a vibrant community of exiled French Communards found solace and unity in the aftermath of the Paris Commune's bloody suppression. The year was 1872, and the once proud revolutionaries, now fugitives, sought refuge from the vengeful French authorities. This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in their London exile, as they gathered around their cooperative kitchen. The communal kitchen, a symbol of their shared struggle and solidarity, was a vital aspect of their new community. It provided not only nourishment but also a sense of belonging and unity, as they worked together to maintain their communal living space. The passage, a labyrinth of narrow alleyways and hidden corners, served as their temporary sanctuary. The communards, having fled their homeland in search of safety, found in each other the strength to rebuild their lives and preserve their ideals. The events of 1871, which culminated in the Paris Commune, had shattered the lives of these men and women. Yet, in the face of adversity, they refused to be defeated. Instead, they banded together, determined to create a new home in a foreign land. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination of the human spirit, even in the most challenging of circumstances. It tells a story of hope and solidarity, as these exiled communards sought to rebuild their lives in a new land, maintaining their ideals and their sense of community in the face of adversity.
