Condition remarks:
Condition: Good. Jacket: N/A (paperback). Page Condition: Good, slight yellowing consistent with age. Markings: No visible markings. Binding: Intact. Stickers/Labels: None visible.

Part of the acclaimed History Workshop Series, People's History and Socialist Theory is a landmark anthology that brings together radical historians, activists, and theorists to interrogate the relationship between popular history and left-wing political thought. Edited by Raphael Samuel, the collection presents a sweeping survey of debates around class, culture, and historiography that were reshaping the British left in the late twentieth century. Contributors argue passionately for a history written from below — one that centres the experiences of ordinary working people rather than the powerful elite. The volume chronicles the intellectual currents of the History Workshop movement, illustrating how grassroots history-making can serve as a tool of political emancipation. Rigorous yet accessible, it remains an essential reference for students of socialist theory, labour history, and the politics of historical knowledge.
