The Little Moscows came to public attention during the 1920s as industrial localities noteworthy for political and industrial militancy. In such places, the working class displayed unusual determination to improve wages and conditions. Originally published in 1980, the book discusses the experience of three Little Moscows: Mardy in South Wales, Lumphinnans in Fife, and the Vale of Leven in the West of Scotland. Comparative analysis of various aspects of local life is also covered: work and unemployment, women and the family, police and the courts, religion and education. Drawing on an extensive range of documentary, ephemeral and oral material, the book throws light on a neglected corner of social history. It will be of interest to social historians and those with an interest in the British working class and labour movements.
