The Return of Spring: The Labour Movement's Green Roots

'The Return of Spring' brings together a powerful series of essays that explore the deep and ongoing relationship between environmentalism and the labour movement. From the earliest labour campaigns in the 19th century, advocating for cleaner working conditions, to the labour-led land reforms of the 1940s and 1990s questioning "who is Britain’s environment for?" — these essays show that environmentalism has always been a core part of the fight for workers' rights and justice.
