The remarkable advance of "Corbynism" did not emerge from nowhere.
It is the product of developments in socialist and working-class
politics over the past forty years and more. The Thatcher era
witnessed a wholesale attack on the postwar consensus and welfare
state, through a regime of deregulation, attacks on the unions,
privatisations, and globalisation. However, at the same time, there
existed a persistent resistance to the growing powers of
neo-liberalism. This side of the story is rarely told as it was
considered to be a history of defeat. Yet out of this struggle
emerged a thoroughly modern socialism. This book is essential
reading for those who want to know where Corbynism comes from: the
policies, personalities and moments of resistance that have
produced this new horizon. This includes the story of power
struggles within the Labour Party, and the eventual defeat of New
Labour. The movements outside it-unions, feminists groups,
anti-fascists activists, anti-war protestors-that have driven the
policies of the movement forward. And the powerful influence of
international groups that have shaped the potential for a global
progressive politics.
