This is a study of popular politics in Belfast from 1905 23. It looks at the dominant nationalist and unionist movements, but also at the attempt of labour to assert itself in the Edwardian years during the unionst mobilisations against home rule, World War I, and the national revolution. The author also examines the political careers of the socialist leaders William Walker, James Larkin, and James Connolly.

Bringing It All Back Home

<p>Bringing It All Back Home uses the intimate arena of the household as the unique setting for a groundbreaking study of the relationships between class, gender and power today. The authors - and the feminist scholars who offered responses to their critique - integrate the rich traditions of Marxism and feminism, and more recent developments in Marxian theory and Lacanian psychoanalysis, to theorise a new approach to the contemporary crisis of the family.</p>

The Car Society (Alternative Transport Strategy for the Twenty-First Century)

Winfried Wolf examines current policies on transport in Europe and North America and assesses the future for road and rail systems in the West. He analyses the social costs of our current transport system in the context of health, disintegration of lifestyle and ecology. Through a detailed comparison of the costs of passenger and goods transport – both road and rail – he demonstrates how the forces behind the relentless drive to increase motorization are rooted in the requirements of the market and multinational concerns, rather than in human need or social development. Wolf makes a penetrating examination of some of Europe's major transport projects, such as Eurotunnel, high-speed trains, Alpine tunnels, and Scandinavian bridge and tunnel links, as well as rail privatization. He also examines the ecological and social consequences of mass motorization in the developing world, the former-Soviet bloc and China, and considers alternatives to present transport structures.
