About this product
Product Information
The city of Liverpool had frequently been prone to industrial unrest for most of its recent history, but it was the dawn of Thatcher and the sanctioning of neoliberal economic strategies which made Liverpool a nucleus of resistance against the encroaching tide of right-wing politics and sweeping de-industrialisation. This critique explores six case studies which will illustrate how elements of a highly politicised local working-class fought against the rapid rise in forced redundancies and industrial closures. Some of their responses included strikes, factory occupations, the organisation and politicisation of the unemployed, consent to radical left-wing municipal politics, as well as tacit endorsement a period of violent civil unrest. This critique concludes that in the range, intensity and use of innovative tactics deployed during these conflicts, Liverpool was distinctive.

Reviews
"Overall, Brian Marren has produced a very good book which for many years to come, will certainly contribute to the debate about political activism during the Thatcher years. Furthermore, through the gradual release of government archives and as historians begin to research the 1980s in greater depth, this study will in no doubt, feature in a number of books and articles about Liverpool and the Merseyside region, especially when reflecting how far the city has travelled and progressed over the past few decades." - Neil Pye, University of Huddersfield, Labour History Review "Overall, Brian Marren has produced a very good book which will certainly contribute to the debate about political activism during the Thatcher years for many years to come.

I do not recommend this seller. Item itself was correct but according to the seller via messages, they did not have this book in their possession when I ordered it and had to have it delivered to their warehouse before delivering it to me. Because of this, I did not receive my item until almost three weeks after the initial order date.
