Made by Labour

"""Drawing on a wide-ranging of artefacts, Mansfield and Wright provide a fresh approach to British labour history. The large number of beautiful illustrations are a pleasure to view, accompanied by astute assessments of each item. Much was new to me. Very enjoyable and enlightening.""-- ""Emeritus Professor Chris Wrigley, Nottingham University"" ""This compilation of objects and images provides a rare and invaluable multi-dimensional view of the politics and culture of the British Labour movement - from its roots in the eighteenth century to the moment of its ascendancy in 1922 - while also reminding us of the continuing power and significance of historical artefacts."" -- ""Professor Sir Deian Hopkin, vice-president of Llafur: The Welsh People's History Society"" ""This beautifully produced book tackles labour history from a new and fascinating angle . . . The book draws together the arts of curation and interpretation, and explores central theses of labour historiography and the emergence of working-class consciousness, including a discussion of issues of gender, class and race in working-class organisations.""-- ""The Morning Star"""
