@jack_shaw is organising a new reading group, the political theory reading group. It will be reading In the Cause of Labour - A History of British Trade Unionism by Rob Sewell! Reading discussions will take place both over this forum and through video meetups. Please sign up for the forum (top right of your screen), in order to participate in asynchronous discussions about the book and other matters!
Where do I get the book?
It's available on marxist.com for free.You may also buy a physical copy at wellredbooks.co.uk
Each chapter if fairly stand alone, so you can join at whatever point you wish without having to worry about being lost
Details
Chapters are fairly short (only 10-15 or so pages) so the pace will be quite relaxed.
