Neither Power Nor Glory
Author: Paul StrangioPublisher: Melbourne Univ. Publishing
ISBN: 0522862128
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 394
Book Description
When Frank Hardy published Power Without Glory, his notorious novel about corruption and venality in the Victorian Labor Party, it quickly came to be seen as a true account of the party. Until now, there has been no authoritative chronicle of the struggles of political Labor in Victoria, from its origins in the mid-nineteenth century through to the calamitous split of the 1950s. By conventional measures these were fallow years. Ensnared by the colony's powerful liberal protectionist tradition in the late nineteenth century, Victorian Labor then found itself hindered by a grossly unfair electoral system and the lack of a constituency outside Melbourne's industrial suburbs. But exile from government also meant that the party developed its own distinctive traditions and culture. It was a unique and intriguing species among the state Labor parties. Meticulously researched and elegantly written, Neither Power Nor Glory fills an important gap in Australian political history and our understanding of the Labor Party. It is also a timely antidote to nostalgia about Labor’s past. In Victoria at least, that past was anything but golden. WINNER OF THE 2013 HENRY MAYER PRIZE
Renegades and Rats
Author: Jacqueline DickensonPublisher: Academic Monographs
ISBN: 0522853099
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
Accusations of betrayal played a significant role in the shaping and maintenance of solidarity in socialist and other modern radical political organisations in Australia and Britain. This fascinating study of trust and betrayal focuses on case studies of 6 'rats' or renegades: H.H. Champion; William Trenwith; John Burns; Albert Victor Grayson; Adela Pankhurst Walsh; and Ada Holman. Renegades and Rats will appeal to scholars of history and sociology alike, and to anyone intersted in the subject of trust: what it is, and how it is lost.

Book Description
The road that led to the inauguration of the Australian nation on 1 January 1901 was by no means smooth traveling. Alfred Deakin later noted that the Federation "must always appear to have been secured by a series of miracles." Here is a entertaining view of Federation through the lives of the key individuals involved.
