UPRISING tells the stories of black pioneers — the people of “global majority heritage” who have helped shape Britain’s labour movement from its infancy.
This first-of-its-kind book produced by the GMB, edited by the union’s first national race organiser Tyehimba Nosakhere and John Callow, brings together chapter-length biographies and autobiographies of these trailblazers — from the cabinet-maker and revolutionary William Davidson, executed and buried in an unmarked grave in 1820, to activists at the forefront of organising workers today like Elaine Daley and Robbie Scott.
It’s an accessible and fascinating read, but what does Nosakhere hope people will get out of it?
