Title: | Introducing the 'rough reds': Invisible, international, and inter-generational | Contributor(s): | Boughton, Robert George (author)![]() |
Publication Date: | 2003 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/2918 | Abstract: | Since the Communist Party of Australia (CPA) officially wound up its affairs in 1991, a steady stream of memoirs and reflection have emanated from some of its leading officials, which put considerable critical distance between the writers and the experiences they recall. This collection is not like that. It unashamedly celebrates a tradition of rank and file activism by Australian communists and those who, while affiliated to other parties and organisations, associated closely with the CPA. These stories are extremely important, not just for labour historians, but for labour and social movement activists who today are trying to maintain and build a militant opposition to globalising capitalism in Australia and the region. | Publication Type: | Book Chapter | Source of Publication: | A few rough reds: Stories of rank and file organising, p. 6-11 | Publisher: | Australian Society for the Study of Labour History | Place of Publication: | Canberra, Australia | ISBN: | 0909944083 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 220202 History and Philosophy of Education | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 930102 Learner and Learning Processes | HERDC Category Description: | B1 Chapter in a Scholarly Book | Publisher/associated links: | http://nla.gov.au/anbd.bib-an25130981 http://roughreds.com/onepdf/rough_reds1.pdf |
