Abstract

"Working-class heroes is an organic melding of history, music, and politics that demonstrates with colorful evidence that workers everywhere will struggle to improve their conditions of life. And among them will be workers who share an insight: in order to better our lot, we must act collectively to change the world. This profusely illustrated treasury of song sheets, lyrics, photographs, histories, and biographical sketches explores the notion that our best hope lies in the capacity of ordinary working people to emancipate ourselves and all of humanity. Featuring more than a dozen songwriters, from Joe Hill to Aunt Molly Jackson, Working-class heroes delivers a lyrical deathblow to the myth that so-called political songs of the 20th century were being written by intellectuals in New York. The songs collected here have a striking relevance to current affairs and invite us to explore the historical conditions that inspired their creation: systemic crisis, advancing fascism, and the threat of world war. These working-class songwriters showed courage and heroism that is immortal, and such heroes and their work should be celebrated still today."--Adapted from page [4] of cover.

Abstract

The Refuge is a memoir by Jenny Smith, recounting her personal experiences growing up in a working-class family in a Derbyshire mining village. The narrative focuses on Jenny's childhood, shaped by her mother's dedication and the values instilled by her parents. Through vivid descriptions of family life and community, the book explores themes of resilience, love, and the power of familial bonds. Jenny's story is not only a tribute to her mother's unwavering strength and nurturing presence but also a reflection on the social norms and challenges of her time. The memoir is intended for readers interested in personal histories, family dynamics, and the cultural heritage of mid-20th century England.
