ALTERNATIVES TO STATE-SOCIALISM IN BRITAIN GEBU...

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 'labour movement' class cohesion. Instead of a 'forward
march' 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  'Other Forms of Association' covers subjects such as trade unions  the Co-operative Party
women's community activism and Protestant Nonconformity. Part Two  'Other Leaders'  covers
employer Edward Cadbury  Trades Union Congress leader Walter Citrine  and the electricians'
leader  Frank Chapple. Part Three  'Other Intellectuals'  considers G.D.H. Cole  Michael Young
and left libertarianism by Stuart White. Readers interested inthe British Labour movement will
find this an invaluable resource.
