A landmark work in Australian labour history, Industrial Labour and Politics chronicles the rise and transformation of the labour movement in Eastern Australia during the turbulent years between 1900 and 1921. Ian Turner, a Senior Lecturer in History at Monash University, presents a rigorous and authoritative account of the political, industrial, and social forces that shaped the working class and its institutions during this formative period. The work argues that the dynamics of labour organisation were deeply intertwined with broader struggles over economic power and political representation, illuminating the tensions between radical unionism and parliamentary labour politics. Written with scholarly precision yet genuine passion for its subject, the book remains an essential reference for anyone seeking to understand the foundations of the Australian labour movement and its enduring legacy.
