For too long the collective struggles of the oppressed over welfare provision and welfare settlement have been ignored, yet such struggles punctuate recent British history. By presenting a series of case studies of episodes of collective action from the field of social policy and social welfare, this book aims to rediscover this "hidden history." Organized chronologically, the book covers some of the most important welfare struggles from the nineteenth century to the present.
