Walking Tour Curators
Anirvan Chatterjee and Barnali Ghosh are community-based historians who have lived in Berkeley for a combined total of 42 years, participating in over a dozen local South Asian American social justice, feminist, LGBTQ, environmental, and arts groups and projects.
Ghosh and Chatterjee have spent years doing story collection, oral histories, readings, and archival research. The Berkeley South Asian Radical History Walking Tour is a way to share these histories with a wider audience — to inform, ground, and inspire new activism, in the tradition of movement historians like Zinn and Takaki.
