Jeffrey Harrod chronicles the intricate web of political motivations, ideological agendas, and organisational strategies that drove foreign trade union intervention during the mid-twentieth century, arguing compellingly that such activities were far from benign expressions of worker solidarity — they were instruments of Cold War-era foreign policy.\n\nHarrod's analytical precision and command of primary sources give this work an authoritative weight that endures well beyond its original publication. Written in a measured yet incisive academic tone, the study illuminates the broader dynamics of neo-colonialism, labour imperialism, and the contested sovereignty of developing nations. For scholars of political history, labour movements, and Caribbean studies, this is an indispensable volume that forces a fundamental reassessment of whose interests organised labour truly served on the world stage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50573183254747,"sku":"2026100011214-SECONDHAND","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f26d7f10-6425-4f62-9c93-3787b3dbfd1e.png?v=1791167832","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100011214-secondhand-trade-union-foreign-policy-a-study-of-british-and-american-trade-union-activities-in-jamaica","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
