In Our Time: Socialism and the Rise of Labor, 1885-1905
Burgmann, Verity
ISBN: 0868615374
Allen & Unwin North Sydney 1985 First Edition
8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Paperback 400 g; XII, to 36 pages, indexed, with bibliography, and illustrated with black-and-white photographs and facsimiles and some documents. Includes a chronology of socialist groups and organisations from 1886 -- 1905. Apart from the International bookshop rubberstamp on the half title page, the book shows no sign of damage. For many Australian working men and women in the closing days of the 19th-century, "SOCIALISM IN OUR TIME" was no mere slogan. The deepening economic depression cut living standards, increased class conflict and test of the newborn trade unions to breaking point. In this climate, the message of socialist agitators made sense of the experience of the most vulnerable: Was and was doomed, socialism was not only inevitable it was imminent. This is the story of a crucial time in the political history of Australia, told from the perspective of the agitators and their followers. by uncovering, state-by-state, the hitherto ignored faith and work of the "tribune's of the people" and the organisations created by their working-class supporters, "In Our Time" challenges the accepted versions of the social and political foment which gave rise to the labour movement and its parliamentary expression, the Labor parties . -- rear panel blurb History -- Australia Very Good
