Compiled by Joyce M. Bellamy and John Saville, this authoritative reference chronicles the lives of trade unionists, cooperative pioneers, socialist activists, and political figures whose contributions to working-class history have often been overlooked by mainstream historiography. Each entry details an individual's background, organizational affiliations, ideological commitments, and lasting impact, drawing on primary sources, archival records, and contemporary accounts to construct a richly textured portrait of labour's human foundations. The tone is rigorously academic yet deeply humanizing, ensuring that these biographical subjects emerge not merely as historical footnotes but as vital agents of social and political change. An indispensable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone with a serious interest in the development of the British left, this volume stands as the first in a celebrated series that collectively constitutes one of the most comprehensive records of labour history ever assembled.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48763140735195,"sku":"2026200004787-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/cfd18a60-ec44-4f1c-83bc-7e6186d63b89.png?v=1778499305","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200004787-secondhand-dictionary-of-labour-biography-volume-1","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
