Description

Examining working class welfare in the age of deindustrialisation through the experiences of the Scottish coal miner

Throughout the twentieth century Scottish miners resisted deindustrialisation through collective action and by leading the campaign for Home Rule. This book argues that coal miners occupy a central position in Scotland's economic, social and political history, and highlights the role of miners in formulating labour movement demands for political-constitutional reforms that eventually resulted in the establishment of the Scottish Parliament in 1999. The book also uses the struggle of the mineworkers to explore working class wellbeing more broadly during the prolonged and politicised period of deindustrialisation that saw jobs, workplaces and communities devastated.

Key features

  • Examines deindustrialisation as long-running, phased and politicised process
  • Uses generational analysis to explain economic and political change
  • Relates Scottish Home Rule to long-running debates about economic security and working class welfare
  • Analyses the longer history of Scottish coal miners in terms of changing industrial ownership, production techniques and workplace safety
  • Relates this economic and industrial history to changes in mining communities and gender relations
