Publication
by Jörg Arnold
- offers a new interpretation of the place of the miners in late twentieth-century Britain
- Embeds the story of Britain's miners in an innovative methodological framework that shows how understandings of time were themselves historically contingent
- Uses the methodological framework to challenge teleological readings of late twentieth-century British history
- Reinserts the 1970s into the story of the coal industry, showing that the miners were admired and feared long before they came to be patronised and pitied
- Draws on the rich archival holdings of the National Union of Mineworkers' archive, much of it previously inaccessible, as well as a wealth of other primary source material
