We're on to Part II of The Making of the English Working Class. We cover chapter six and seven--"Exploitation" and "The Field Labourers," plus discuss the 1986 film Comrades, which follows the Tolpuddle Martyrs, a group of laborers who were transported to Australia for organizing an early trade union.No secondary reading this week, though if you can find Comrades online, watch it! In the United States at least, it's available on Vimeo. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
