New publication - the Independent Labour Party 1924 presidential address

Mayday | 07.05.2009 09:07 | Analysis | History | Workers' Movements | Sheffield

This is a classic of working class movement history, talking about the political balance of forces and the diverse working class movement - even within the Labour party at the time.

The 1924 Presidential address to the Independent Labour Party conference has been republished to make it easily available again. This event, still in living memory just, is interesting for a number of reasons; the freshness of the growth within working class politics, the political decision making and assesment, the independence of thought which the movement had and so on.
