NEW BOOK: SOLIDARITY - SELECTED ESSAYS BY DAN GALLIN

LabourStart is pleased to announced the publication today of its fourth book, Solidarity: Selected Essays by Dan Gallin.

Solidarity is a collection of 19 essays by the former general secretary of the Geneva-based International Union of Food workers (IUF).

The essays include two autobiographical articles, three pieces from the late 1950s and early 1960s, and the remainder from the last two decades.

Gallin writes about a broad range of issues including the Algerian revolution, the French Left, Victor Serge, Scandinavian social democracy, the international labour movement, domestic work, the informal sector and much more.

Often controversial, always interesting, this is essential reading for social change activists, trade unionists and everyone on the left.

The book will be formally launched at the LabourStart Global Solidarity Conference in Berlin (23-25 May) - http://www.labourstart.org/2014

Review copies are available upon request as PDF files.

LabourStart, which was founded in 1998, is the the London-based news and campaigning website of the international trade union movement. It has a network of over 125,000 supporters around the world.
