Alternatives to State-Socialism in Britain: Other Worlds of Labour in the Twentieth Century
Professor Peter Ackers and Dr Alastair Reid introduce their edited collection of essays challenging traditional narratives of twentieth century British labour history. The collection explores neglected aspects of working class experience and political awareness over the twentieth century - including religious Nonconformity, self-organisation and left libertarianism - and shows how this diversity has been quashed by a narrative focussing on trade unions, nationalisation, class cohesion and secular state-socialism.
Tristram Hunt, historian and former Labour MP for Stoke-on-Trent Central and the editors will provide commentary over drinks.
RSVP on Eventbrite. From 5.30pm for a 6pm start.
