Critical and iconoclastic, Comrade or Brother? traces the history of the
British Labour Movement from its beginnings at the onset of
industrialisation through its development within a capitalist society,
up to the end of the twentieth-century. Written by a leading activist in
the labour movement, the book redresses the balance in much labour
history writing. It examines the place of women and the influence of
racism and sexism as well as providing a critical analysis of the rival
ideologies which played a role in the uneven development of the labour
movement.
