This volume of essays constitutes the first history of Labour and
left-wing politics in the decade when Margaret Thatcher reshaped
modern Britain. Leading scholars explore aspects of left-wing
culture, activities and ideas at a time when social democracy was
in crisis. There are articles about political leadership, economic
alternatives, gay rights, the miners' strike, the Militant Tendency
and the politics of race. The book also situates the crisis of the
left in international terms as the socialist world began to
collapse. Tony Blair's New Labour disavowed the 1980s left,
associating it with failure, but this volume argues for a more
complex approach. Many of the causes it championed are now
mainstream, suggesting that the time has come to reassess 1980s
progressive politics, despite its undeniable electoral failures.
With this in mind, the contributors offer ground-breaking research
and penetrating arguments about the strange death of Labour
Britain. -- .
