It is accessible to an introductory student readership as well as providing a critical appraisal of all types and forms of self-help available to the industrial working-class. Unlike former studies, the author examines trade unionism alongside friendly societies and the co-operative movement and shows how each developed in response to the challenge of industrialization and the demands of urban industrial life. The strengths and limitations of self-help approaches are assessed and wider issues of working-class culture and identity are examined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to those studying the history of social welfare, class and industrial Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54247783760216,"sku":"9781138204768","price":55.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138204768.jpg?v=1777806930","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/working-class-self-help-in-nineteenth-century-england-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
