Description

Explore a deep social history of the 1984-5 miners' strike with Routledge Revivals: The Enemy Within. Originally published in 1986 as part of the History Workshop Series, this book moves beyond the idea that the strike was merely a top-down movement. Instead, it examines how the strike was shaped by the people living in pit villages, driven by local pressures from lodges, villages, and individual homes. This work provides a logical look at the social structures that sustained the movement, focusing on family economy, kin networks, and intergenerational solidarity. By using first-hand testimonies, the text captures the real mentality of the strike, including the fears and passions felt by those involved. It is an essential resource for students and historians interested in the sociology of labor movements and the lived experiences of mining communities during a period of intense social change.
