Product Description
Review
The book stands comparison with A.L.Morton's 'People's History' and G.D.H. Cole's 'Common People'. But it is more than just this. It is in a real sense a history for our own times (John Foster, Emeritus Professor, University of the West of Scotland )
This book is ideal for its purpose. I only wish it had been available in the decades when I was teaching trade union courses. (Jim Fryth, Labour History Review )
At last a readable and accessible general history of the labour movement ... Highly recommended. (Manchester TUC Newsletter )

--A revised, updated and expanded edition of this classic feminist account of British labour history--
Critical and iconoclastic, Comrade or Brother? traces the history of the British Labour Movement from its beginnings at the onset of industrialisation through its development within a capitalist society, up to the end of the twentieth-century. Written by a leading activist in the labour movement, the book redresses the balance in much labour history writing. It examines the place of women and the influence of racism and sexism as well as providing a critical analysis of the rival ideologies which played a role in the uneven development of the labour movement.

This book may be of interest to people beyond the intended audience of trades union activists. Anyone who would like to know more about the social history of the working class , their struggles for equality, the divisions within the working class movement, and in particular the struggle of women to be get parity with male workers will not be disappointed with this book.
Trades Union activists, for whom this book was written, will find this to be a 'must have' item on their book shelf.

Format:Paperback
A clear concise history of the development of trade unionism in the UK.The author writes in an uncomplicated, uncluttered style that makes for easy reading.This is not to detract from the worth of the publication. It is a work that has been thoroughly researched and provides the reader with well reasoned arguments that describe the enormous struggles in which organised trade unions have been engaged in over three centuries.
