First published in 1995, this book provides a readable survey of
the three major forms of working-class self-help in nineteenth
century England: the trade unions, the friendly societies and the
co-operative movement. It is accessible to an introductory student
readership as well as providing a critical appraisal of all types
and forms of self-help available to the industrial working-class.
Unlike former studies, the author examines trade unionism alongside
friendly societies and the co-operative movement and shows how each
developed in response to the challenge of industrialization and the
demands of urban industrial life. The strengths and limitations of
self-help approaches are assessed and wider issues of working-class
culture and identity are examined. This book will be of interest to
those studying the history of social welfare, class and industrial
Britain.
