Description

Ayrton has achieved something very rare and powerful in this book, a brilliantly edited collection of fiction. Cable Street, though, also raises questions about the nature of cultural and collective memory and the role archives and documentary evidence play in maintaining or challenging that memory.

After studying and briefly teaching philosophy, a period of left-wing tourism in France and Italy led to his learning to read and converse in these languages, and to take part in the intense, opaque discourses of Marxism. Brother civilian, the underhand offensive of 'white peace' will attack you in turn; and like me you must stand firm and vanquish. But I really think that the heart of it, the most basic reason for men and women signing up, can be found in the poem The Volunteer by Cecil Day Lewis: ‘ We came because our open eyes could see no other way’.

His attention was first attracted by on of these cards mentioning a "concentration camp", a term which, even if it doesn't means by itself extermination, was already used in nazi Germany. Perhaps Demissie and Iglikowski should have noted Sir Phillip Game’s words (at page 10 of his report reproduced above) ‘there were many cries of “Shame” when it was learned that the march and meetings had been banned’.It’s a reminder that as long as racism, bigotry and oppression exist, the war fought by those in Spain is one that we must still fight today. REEL 1 Aspects of period as political commissar with No 1 Coy, British Bn, XV International Bde in Spain, 5/1938-9/1938: background to involvement in Spanish Civil War; support for Republican Spain; opinion of Spanish peasants/workers willingness to defend the republic. This was often organised through Trade Unions, and we have several banners from the Printers Union highlighting not only their support for the Republican’s, but the amount of money they provided as well.

Frank Graham was later an important publisher on Tyneside, championing amongst other things the works of Jack Common. I hope you would agree that we picked our wording carefully for this post – by using the word ‘disrupted’ we did not suggest no march took place, or even that there was a direct confrontation between marchers and counter-demonstrators.In our collections, we have several objects from two particular prominent men who volunteered: Jack Jones and Bob Edwards. The BUF intended to celebrate their summer campaign on 4 October with the march and meetings in Shoreditch, Limehouse, Bow and Bethnal Green. Poignant stories from real people - and brilliant insight into a war that should never have happened. Similarly, during the disturbances at Cable Street Mosley had said to Sir Phillip Game ‘we always do what the police want us to do’ (HO 144/21061).
