Inhaltsangabe

For nearly 2,000 years, London has been a breeding ground for radical ideas, home to thinkers, heretics and rebels. A People’s History of London presents fascinating portraits of the heroic idealists who made the city their home. Lindsey German and John Rees bring to life the dissident priest John Wycliff and the Levellers’ Civil War struggle. They delve into the travails of the silk weavers, match girls and dockers who crusaded for workers’ rights. And they recount the Battle of Cable Street, where East Enders took on Oswald Mosley’s Blackshirts. This updated edition recounts the battles of recent years: the Grenfell disaster, the inspiring Palestine movement, and the fight for a city fit for its people, not one hobbled by developers and landlords.
