Twenty Years On! The Great Miners Strike in Historical and International
Perspective
Saturday November 1st 2003, Institute of Historical Research, Malet St,
London
March 2004 marks the twentieth anniversary of the start of the 1984/5
British miners strike, one of the great labour struggles of the second
half of the twentieth century.
This conference seeks to mark the event by placing miners strikes and
mining trade unionism in an historical and international perspective. One
strand will focus specifically on the British miners strikes of 1972, 1974
and 1984/5 and how the left related to them. A second section will relate
these conflicts to the longer history of coal- mining in Britain. A third
strand will aim to put these epic labour struggles into an international
perspective by examining the experiences of South African, American and
Zambian miners. This day- conference will be organised by the London
Socialist Historians' Group.
