Rebel Footprints: A Guide to Uncovering London’s Radical History
Autor David Rosenberg Cuvânt înainte de Michael Rosenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 sep 2026
‘Rosenberg reminds us of the strong tradition of dissent that has shaped our history and made us who we are’ Billy Bragg
‘This book is a call to walk the streets, and learn their histories, so that we might just one day run this city’ Ash Sarkar
The radical response to banal day-tripper guides, Rebel Footprints brings to life the history of social movements in the capital.
Transporting readers from well-known landmarks to history-making hidden corners, David Rosenberg tells the story of protest and struggle in London from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries. From suffragettes to socialists, Chartists to trade unionists, the book invites us to step into the footprints of a diverse cast of characters who have fought for social justice. Self-directed walks pair with narratives that seamlessly blend history, politics and geography, and beautifully illustrated maps immerse the reader in the story of the city.
Whether you are visiting it for the first time, or born and raised in it, Rosenberg invites you to see London as you never have before.
David Rosenberg is an educator, writer and tour guide. He is the author of Battle for the East End. Since 2008, he has led tours of key sites in London’s social and political history.

Recenzii
"Rebel Footprints reminds us that famous locations such as Trafalgar Square are not just empty platforms on which politics occur, but spaces that contain politics – in their history and even in their design."
