Focusing on the issues of leadership and revolt, class organization, and the dynamics of protest, this book showcases a range of critical interpretations of class struggle and socialist history. Comparing the Chartists, the new unionism of the 1880s, and the Seattle protests of 1999, the arguments presented suggest that even though moments when social changes arise are not predictable, the character and subsequent development of the movements are shaped by their prehistory. Specific case studies are offered that analyze rank-and-file organizations, the leadership of trade unionist Terence Powderly, class politics during the American Civil War, and left-wing organization in post-1945 Egypt.
