Description
Socialist Republic is a timely account of 1980s left-wing politics in South Yorkshire. It explores how Sheffield City Council set out to renew the British Left.
Through careful analysis of the Council's agenda and how it interacted with trade unions, women's groups, lesbian and gay rights groups, and acted on issues such as peace, environmentalism, anti-apartheid, and anti-racism, the book draws out the complexities involved in building a broad-based politics which aimed to unite class and identity politics.
Running counter to 1980s narratives dominated by Thatcherism, the book examines the persistence of social democracy locally, demonstrating how grassroots local histories can enrich our understanding of political developments on a national and international level.
The book is essential reading for students, scholars, and activists with an interest in left-wing politics and history.
