{"product_id":"9781917020572","title":"Revisiting the General Strike of 1926","description":"Charlie Kimber and Judy Cox show there are compelling reasons to revisit the events of 1926 in a way which highlights its continuing relevance for those resisting inequality, war and imperialism today. Shows 1926 saw much greater radicalism - and repression - than often portrayed; Chapter on the role played by women in the General Strike and miners' lockout that followed; Examines the impact on literature - from A Scots Quair to Ellen Wilkinson's Clash and even D.H. Lawrence; Shows how the General Strike was part of wider revolts against the British Empire in India, Hong Kong and elsewhere and how links of solidarity between these struggles were created; Explores the role of general strikes from Chartism to the Russian Revolution, to more recently the Arab Spring of 2011- 12, in the revolt over pensions in France in 2022-3; and what role it has in the fight for Palestinian liberation today.","brand":"Kimber, Charlie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53944643617105,"sku":"9781917020572","price":11.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/6478\/4209\/files\/9781917020572.jpg?v=1780481222","url":"https:\/\/thecommonpress.shop\/products\/9781917020572","provider":"The Common Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
