This is an original study of the connected lives of two important
socialists, Tom Mann (1856-1941) and Robert Samuel 'Bob' Ross
(1873-1931). Born in Britain, Mann travelled the globe as a
tireless socialist organiser and propagandist who met Ross in the
course of his political work in Australia. They then worked closely
together as labour editors, educators, trade unionists and
socialists in Australia and New Zealand between 1902 and 1913.
Thereafter, they continued regularly to correspond with one another
and other socialists in Australia, New Zealand and other parts of
the Pacific Rim. Based upon extensive research into neglected
primary and secondary sources in Britain, Australia, New Zealand
and related places, this book explores the careers and lives of
Mann and Ross as paired transnational radicals, as leaders who
crossed national and other boundaries in order to promote their
socialism. It situates them within the neglected English-speaking
and even global radical worlds of the later nineteenth- and early
twentieth-centuries, a period that constituted an early phase of
globalisation. Breaking new ground in moving beyond the national
focus which has dominated much of the relevant history, this book
highlights both the importance of Mann's and Ross's transnational
endeavours, attachments and identities and the ways in which these
interacted with their national, sub-national and international
spheres of activity, striking a chord with a wide variety of
radicals seeking change in today's globalised world.
