A comprehensive study of the ideas and practice of the French
Labour Movement between 1900 and 1914. Part one sets the
syndicalist movement against its historical background, pointing to
the forces which helped to shape the attitudes of the French
worker, French political culture, economic developments, the
influence of earlier socialist and anarchist thinkers and the
failure of parliamentary democracy. The central section examines in
detail the ideological development of the French Labour Movement
during the syndicalist phase. As Professor Ridley points out,
syndicalist ideas are interesting in their own right as part of the
history of socialist thought but also because many of them are
echoed today by supporters of the 'extra-parliamentary opposition'.
There are obvious parallels too, between the 'direct action' of
syndicalism and the tactics of present-day movements. In a final
section professor Ridley discusses syndicalism in the wider
political and ideological context of its time, taking into account
the development of the inter-war years.
