Forewords by Mike Jackson and Sian James MP The film Pride has
reignited interest in the struggles of the miners in the South
Wales valleys in the strike of 1984-5. A new chapter in this
re-issued book shows why the Welsh miners were in a unique position
to forge an alliance with Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners
Group. Hywel Francis, MP for Aberavon, as a historian and active
participant in the strike, had a unique insight into the way in
which the struggles for jobs and communities broadened out to
become a powerful national movement in Wales, involving trade
unions, political parties, churches, the Welsh Language Society,
and community, peace and women's support groups, as well as their
lesbian and gay supporters. This very personal history, which
explains why the South Wales valleys were the strongest and most
loyal of all the British coalfields, is based on the author's
personal diaries, and his articles and essays in a number of Welsh
and British journals. It tells the story of the individual and
collective courage and pain of Welsh miners, their families and
their communities - and is an important contribution to our
understanding of a defining moment in modern Welsh history.
