Looking forward: civil society after state socialism and beyond neo-liberalism. Peter Ackers and Alastair J. Reid.This book poses a major revisionist challenge to 20th century British labour history, aiming to look beyond the Marxist and Fabian exclusion of working class experience, notably religion and self-help, in order to exaggerate ‘labour movement’ class cohesion. Instead of a ‘forward march’ to secular state-socialism, the research presented here is devoted to a rich diversity of social movements and ideas. In this collection of essays, the editors establish the liberal-pluralist tradition, with the following chapters covering three distinct sections. Part One, ‘Other Forms of Association’ covers subjects such as trade unions, the Co-operative Party, women’s community activism and Protestant Nonconformity. Part Two, ‘Other Leaders’, covers employer Edward Cadbury; Trades Union Congress leader Walter Citrine; and the electricians’ leader, Frank Chapple. Part Three, ‘Other Intellectuals’, considers G.D.H. Cole, Michael Young and left libertarianism by Stuart White. Readers interested in the British Labour movement will find this an invaluable resource.Palgrave Studies in the History of Social Movements,2634-6559Great Britain—HistorySocial historyLabor—HistoryEurope—History—1492-History of Britain and Irelandhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717020Social Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/724000Labor Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/725000History of Modern Europehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717080Great Britain—History.Social history.Labor—History.Europe—History—1492-.History of Britain and Ireland.Social History.Labor History.History of Modern Europe.941Ackers Peteredthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtReid Alastair Jedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910155310703321Alternatives to State-Socialism in Britain1971459UNINA
