Internationalism is generally considered to be a major feature of
the labour movement, and to hold a far more powerful appeal for
workers' organizations than national identity. However, this
revisionist book argues that, in fact, it is the national dimension
which is of utmost importance to workers' organizations, and that
national questions have often compelled workers to engage in
struggles on different levels. Through detailed case studies of
trade union involvement in Northern Ireland, Italy, Spain, Belgium,
Austria and Europe generally, contributors tackle subjects long
neglected by labour historians and overturn the accepted wisdom
that nationalism and the labour movement are irreconcilably
opposed. This analysis of how international agendas are influenced
by nationalist politics is unique, and the case-studies offer a
dynamic description of the different ways in which nationalist
values meet with trade union ideas and practices.The high standard
of scholarship and the combination of historical and contemporary
material make this book essential reading for students and
researchers of labour history, politics, political theory and area
studies.
