This study compares the making and remaking of the political identities of the miners' movements in Britain and Germany. Taking the South Wales and Ruhr coalfields as case studies, it focuses on the discourse of the trade unions and political parties in the two regions to reveal how they constructed organisational identities between 1890 and 1926. -- .
