Description

This book poses a major revisionist challenge to 20th century British labour history, aiming to look beyond the Marxist and Fabian exclusion of working class experience, notably religion and self-help, in order to exaggerate ā€˜labour movementā€™ class cohesion. Instead of a ā€˜forward marchā€™ to secular state-socialism, the research presented here is devoted to a rich diversity of social movements and ideas. In this collection of essays, the editors establish the liberal-pluralist tradition, with the following chapters covering three distinct sections. Part One, ā€˜Other Forms of Associationā€™ covers subjects such as trade unions, the Co-operative Party, womenā€™s community activism and Protestant Nonconformity. Part Two, ā€˜Other Leadersā€™, covers employer Edward Cadbury; Trades Union Congress leader Walter Citrine; and the electriciansā€™ leader, Frank Chapple. Part Three, ā€˜Other Intellectualsā€™, considers G.D.H. Cole, Michael Young and left libertarianism by Stuart White. Readers interested in the British Labour movement will find this an invaluable resource.
