Australian workers were organisiing well before the gold rushes, and later a mass labour movement confronted the employers across the continent, opening the way for bitter confrontations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eControversy surrounds the colonial labour movement because of its racism and sexism, but this book sheets home the main blame for both reactionary ideologies to the ruling class. And despite many criticism, the author renews pioneering labour historian Brian Fitzpatrick's argument that 'the effort of the organised working class...was an effort to achieve social justice'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom O'Lincoln\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 064525357X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780645253573\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Interventions Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/29\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.42d","brand":"Tom O'Lincoln","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47001209471231,"sku":"9780645253573","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ee471e88-e7e8-4b1a-b46a-869948fd5a47.jpg?v=1751600384","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/united-we-stand-tom-olincoln-9780645253573","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
