Was British Labour activist support for the anti-Franco cause 'the
most outstanding example of international solidarity in British
history'? Here Lewis Mates challenges this myth and argues that
support for the anti-Franco cause was varied and multi-faceted. He
analyses the 'Aid Spain movement': activities undertaken at
grassroots level in support of the Spanish Republic. He explores
the nature of grassroots support, its extent and depth, the
motivations of activists, the institutions they operated through,
and importantly, the role and impact of ideas on activism. Those
within the British Left who did not embrace the Republic's cause
are also examined as are the consequences of these divisions for
the labour movement at its different levels from grassroots to
national.
Mates provides new perspectives on an important period of
twentieth-century British history, contributing to debates about
the nature of the British left, grassroots activism and popular
political engagement in a contradictory epoch.
