Jake Hall: Shoulder to Shoulder, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

This is a love letter to the pioneers of solidarity and coalition: It's the story of those who sacrificed individual gains to fight for collective freedom.

Spanning movements from the Black Panthers coalition with the Gay Liberation Front in the US, to the Pride support for miners strikes in the UK, Shoulder to Shoulder transports us through time and shows how marginalised activists have always been intertwined in their pursuit of joint liberation.

Through astounding research and fascinating storytelling, Shoulder to Shoulder celebrates our often chaotic, and always messy, human history and those incredible, ordinary people who pushed for equality no matter the cost. Exploring both the inexplicable joys and brutal realities of the fight for justice, this book is perfect for anyone hungry for a fresh perspective on our shared human history.
