First published in 1986, this book challenges the notion that the
miners' strike of 1984-5 was 'Scargill's Strike'. It shows some of
the ways in which the strike, though nominally directed from above,
was determined from below by multitudinous and often contradictory
pressures - the lodge, the village and the home. The focus is
essentially logical and gives particular attention to family
economy, kin networks and intergenerational solidarity. At the same
time it is concerned with the mentality of the strike - its ruling
fears and passions. The first-hand testimonies that comprise the
book attest to the attachment to 'traditional ways' as well as the
potency of the influences corroding them.
