In every neighborhood, there are the activists, the ones who raise their voices. Myfanwy Tristram visited the Rhondda Valley in South Wales, inviting local people to recount their memories of the times they'd refused to take things lying down. \u003ci\u003eThe Noisy Valley\u003c\/i\u003e is the result: a graphic retelling of protests both past and present. The area is best known for the miners' strikes of the '80s, (and their support from the LGBT movement as documented in the film \u003ci\u003ePride\u003c\/i\u003e) but the spirit of dissent runs deeply whenever there is injustice. These stories tell how communities and individuals pushed back on a landfill site that poisoned local streams, a waste-processing plant that destroyed an area of natural beauty, sexism in the workplace and the closure of the local hospital. We dip into the historic Aldermaston marches and the Greenham women's peace camp, too. \u003ci\u003eThe Noisy Valley \u003c\/i\u003eis a testament to protestors who--whatever the changes in the law--have believed in their power to get things changed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Myfanwy Tristram\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1914224434\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781914224430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Selfmadehero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/09\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Myfanwy Tristram","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48587576738047,"sku":"9781914224430","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/noisy-valley-myfanwy-tristram-9781914224430","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
