Stories of Solidarity

Stories of Solidarity includes writings, lectures and speeches by Hywel Francis over the last five decades. A historian, political activist and former Member of Parliament, he describes and celebrates the struggles of the working class of the South Wales Valleys and asks if their solidarity and collective memory will survive and re-invent itself. Professor Francis asks important questions about the current relevance of the miners' strikes and of the core values of the NHS. This is an essential and inspiring book for all interested in recent Welsh social and general history. -- Publisher: Y Lolfa
