Taking the subject chronologically from the 1890s to when the book
was initially published in 1989, this book analyses those films
specifically concerned with working-class conditions and struggle,
and discusses them within the context of the debate on the social
significance of the feature film. It concentrates on films which
depict labour organizations and political activists, as well as
life in working-class communities and actors with working-class
identities such as James Cagney. Reviews of the original edition:
'...fills a gap in film studies...the study of social and labour
history, and the development of popular culture in Britain and the
United States.'
