Yours for the Union stands as a landmark history of the making of
the black working class in South Africa. Drawing on a wide range of
sources, it covers the crucial period of 1930-47, when South
Africa's rapid industrialisation led to the dramatic growth of the
working class, and uncontrolled urbanisation resulted in vast
shanty towns which became a focal point for resistance and protest.
Importantly, Hirson was one of the first historians to go beyond
the traditional focus on the mines and factory workplaces,
broadening his account to include the lesser known community
struggles of the urban ghettoes and rural reserves. Written by an
author with first-hand involvement in South African labour
struggles, Yours for the Union broke new ground with its account of
the effort to mobilise urban squatters, domestic workers and rural
peasants, and remains an indispensable resource for the study of
the South African labour movement.
