Description:
The essays in this volume were first presented as papers at the Co-operative History Workshop held as part of the 1994 celebrations of the Rochdale Pioneers 150th anniversary, and show the wide range of interests and enthusiasms of co-operative historians. They appear with a lively introduction by Tony Benn, and an overview by the editors. Subjects range through local beginnings and developments in different parts of Britain; the Co-operative Women’s Guild; the Co-operative Party; biographies; consumer co-operation in the postwar period and internationalisation.
