This is the story of one of the most important strikes in labour history revealing the significance & truth of what actually happened. In July 1888, fourteen hundred women & girls employed by the matchmakers Bryant & May walked out of their East End factory & into the history books. Louise Raw gives us a challenging new interpretation of events proving that the women themselves, not celebrity socialists like Annie Besant, began it. She provides unequivocal evidence to show that the matchwomen greatly influenced the Dock Strike of 1889, which until now was thought to be the key event of new unionism, & repositions them as the mothers of the modern labour movement. Returning to the stories of the women themselves, & by interviewing their relatives today, Raw is able to construct a new history which challenges existing accounts of the strike itself & radically alters the accepted history of the labour movement in Britain. ...

Along the way he would go on a joyride with Kinshasa`s feral children, fend off its women desperate for an escape route, & travel with an Indian businessman hunting for his fortune. ...

Andrei Sinyavsky wrote Strolls with Pushkin while confined to Dubrovlag, a Soviet labor camp, smuggling the pages out a few at a time to his wife. His irreverent portrait of Pushkin outraged emigres & Soviet scholars alike, yet his ”disrespect” was meant only to rescue Pushkin from the stifling cult of personality that had risen up around him. Anglophone readers who question the longstanding adoration for Pushkin felt by generations of Russians will enjoy tagging along on Sinyavsky`s strolls with the great poet, discussing his life, fiction, & famously untranslatable poems. This new edition of Strolls with Pushkin also

Includes:: a later essay Sinyavsky wrote on the artist, ” Journey to the River Black.”
