Examining working class welfare in the age of deindustrialisation
through the experiences of the Scottish coal miner Throughout the
twentieth century Scottish miners resisted deindustrialisation
through collective action and by leading the campaign for Home
Rule. This book argues that coal miners occupy a central position
in Scotland's economic, social and political history, and
highlights the role of miners in formulating labour movement
demands for political-constitutional reforms that eventually
resulted in the establishment of the Scottish Parliament in 1999.
The book also uses the struggle of the mineworkers to explore
working class wellbeing more broadly during the prolonged and
politicised period of deindustrialisation that saw jobs, workplaces
and communities devastated. Key features Examines
deindustrialisation as long-running, phased and politicised process
Uses generational analysis to explain economic and political change
Relates Scottish Home Rule to long-running debates about economic
security and working class welfare Analyses the longer history of
Scottish coal miners in terms of changing industrial ownership,
production techniques and workplace safety Relates this economic
and industrial history to changes in mining communities and gender
relations
