It shows that, although perceived as a source of weakness, those inner conflicts have also been a source of creative tension, at times generating significant breakthroughs. The book brings together labour historians and political scientists who provide a range of case studies as well as more wide-ranging assessments of recent trends in labour organising. It will therefore be of interest to academics and students of history and politics, as well as to practitioners, in the British Isles and beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: The British labour movement between unity and division - Emmanuelle Avril and Yann Béliard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: Labour’s first century: disputed solidarities\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 The Grand National Consolidated Trades’ Union, 1833-1834.
