Published in 1985, "Badges Of Labour, Banners Of Pride" by Ann. Stephen is a compelling non-fiction exploration into the rich visual and cultural history of working-class movements. This significant work delves into the unique ways labour groups and unions have expressed their identity, solidarity, and aspirations through public display and celebration.

Categorised under Art & Culture and History, the book provides an insightful look at the often-overlooked artefacts and traditions that underpinned the working class's collective spirit. It serves as a vital historical document for understanding the social dynamics and artistic expressions of organised labour.

• The Iconography of Labour: The volume meticulously examines the design and powerful symbolism of badges and banners, showcasing how these visual elements served as crucial markers of belonging, protest, and pride within labour communities. The illustrated content brings these historical artefacts to life.
• Historical Narratives of Solidarity: Through its focus on 'aspects of working-class celebration,' the book uncovers the rituals, events, and communal practices that fostered a sense of unity and collective identity among workers. It provides a valuable historical account of how these celebrations evolved and functioned.

An essential addition for collectors and scholars alike, this original 1985 edition offers profound insights into the artistic and social history of labour movements, making it a valuable acquisition for those interested in cultural heritage and social justice.
