The radical response to conservative heritage tours and banal
day-tripper guides, Rebel Footprints brings to life the history of
social movements in the capital. Transporting readers from well-known
landmarks to history-making hidden corners, David Rosenberg tells the
story of protest and struggle in London from the early nineteenth to the
mid-twentieth century. From the suffragettes to the socialists, from
the Chartists to the trade unionists, the book invites us to step into
the footprints of a diverse cast of dedicated fighters for social
justice.
Self-directed walks pair with narratives that
seamlessly blend history, politics and geography, and beautifully
illustrated maps immerse the reader in the story of the city. Whether
you are visiting it for the first time, or born and raised in it,
Rosenberg invites you to see London as you never have before: the
nation's capital as its radical centre.
