A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The London Years is the autobiography of a remarkable man and a window into a long-forgotten world. Introduction by Colin Ward Rocker was active at a time of mass immigration by impoverished Jews, who were persecuted by the right-wing press and an "anti-alien" movement which brought in the first immigration controls. Despite this difficult arena, Rocker united the tailoring trades in a mass general strike which abolished the sweatshop system in the UK. His movement was brought to a close by Government action that closed his journals and detained Rocker for years as an enemy alien. The London Years chronicles that time.

Revue de presse

Rocker expresses throughout his faith in the capacity of ordinary people to construct for themselves a world suited to their inner needs, to create and participate in an advancing culture of liberation in free communities. Rocker's vision stands in opposition to all the dominant tendencies in modern social and political thought. --Noam Chomsky
