This book argues that coal miners occupy a central position in Scotland’s economic, social and political history, and highlights the role of miners in formulating labour movement demands for political-constitutional reforms that eventually resulted in the establishment of the Scottish Parliament in 1999. The book also uses the struggle of the mineworkers to explore working class wellbeing more broadly during the prolonged and politicised period of deindustrialisation that saw jobs, workplaces and communities devastated. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKey features\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eExamines deindustrialisation as long-running, phased and politicised process\u003cbr\u003eUses generational analysis to explain economic and political change\u003cbr\u003eRelates Scottish Home Rule to long-running debates about economic security and working class welfare\u003cbr\u003eAnalyses the longer history of Scottish coal miners in terms of changing industrial ownership, production techniques and workplace safety\u003cbr\u003eRelates this economic and industrial history to changes in mining communities and gender relations\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57317496914302,"sku":"NW9781474452328","price":23.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781474452328.jpg?v=1778251798","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/scottish-coal-miners-in-the-twentieth-ce","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
