Rethinking Labour's Past
Editat de Nathan Yeowellen Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 feb 2022
Reframing the span of Labour history and its effects on contemporary British politics, the book provides fresh thinking and analysis of various traditions, themes and individuals. These include the shifting significance of 1945, the need for more grounded interpretations of Tony Blair's legacy, and the enduring importance of place, identity and aspiration to the evolution of the party. Contributions from leading historians such as Patrick Diamond, Steven Fielding, Ben Jackson, Glen O' Hara and Florence Sutcliffe-Braithwaite are supplemented by those with experience of Labour electoral politics, such as Rachel Reeves and Nick Thomas-Symonds.
The result is an intellectually rich and politically relevant roadmap for Labour's future.

Recenzii
The book all wings of the Labour Party have needed for years. Lively, rigorous, and robust, Nathan Yeowell has assembled a timely corrective to the factional mythmaking that is too often an impediment to the candour required to make sense of a contested history. Those serious about interrogating the party's traditions - and remaking them for the 2020s - should start here. A breath of fresh air.
A captivating, kaleidoscopic collection, packed with fresh thinking and new insights. Few volumes range as widely across Labour history, or bring together such an impressive range of authors. Rethinking Labour's Past is essential reading for anyone interested in the past, present or future of the Labour Party.
Charting how leaders, intellectuals and activists navigated previous hinge points in Labour history, this excellent collection reconnects the party's present period of transition with those of generations past. Its cast of contributors showing renewed signs of life on the centre-left, Rethinking Labour's Past reveals how, for successive modernizers, the starting point has been to first interpret a shifting world as a springboard to change it.
If Labour is again to win political power it faces hard choices, as it has in the past. The essays in this well-written volume show how Labour has succeeded when it has faced up to those challenges, and not ducked them - and why it has to do that again now.
As a historian, a Fabian and, latterly, a bit-player in some of this, I found every section a learning experience, and only regret this street map was not available earlier.
