We at Twentieth Century Communism journal are sad to hear of the passing of Quintin Hoare, the managing editor of New Left Review in the 1960s-70s and translator of Antonio Gramsci's works into English, which helped popularise Gramsci in Britain in the 1970s. lwbooks.co.uk/person/quint...

These two books from Lawrence & Wishart provide contemporary and historical accounts of the Grunwick strike. lwbooks.co.uk/product/grun... lwbooks.co.uk/product/stri...

This week in August 1976 saw the beginning of the strike at Grunwick Photo Processing Lab in north-west London. Led by South Asian women workers, the strike lasted almost two years, involving thousands, and is considered a turning point in the history of British trade unionism and race relations.
