SUMMARY:Tyneside Irish Centre\, Dr Martin O’Donoghue will talk about The Anglo Irish Treaty and its Consequences
DESCRIPTION:“Full Canadian powers” or “Ireland’s right\, full independence and nothing short of it”? The Anglo-Irish Treaty and its consequences. \nOn 6 December 1921\, Irish negotiators signed the Anglo-Irish Treaty providing for the establishment of the Irish Free State as a dominion of the British Empire. One of the most controversial documents in modern Irish history\, the Treaty led to a split in the Sinn Féin party\, and ultimately\, civil war. Examining the nature and measure of sovereignty desired by different Irish nationalists imagining self-government\, this lecture will consider the arguments made for and against the Treaty\, and analyse the longer-term significance of both the document and the split in the decades after 1922. \nDr Martin O’Donoghue is a teaching associate in Modern British and Irish History at The University of Sheffield and has previously held appointments at Northumbria University and the University of Limerick. \nHis research examines the dynamics of political activism in modern Ireland\, the development of party politics\, Irish-British relations\, the Irish revolutionary period (1912-23)\, and commemoration. His first book\, The Legacy of the Irish Parliamentary Party in Independent Ireland\, 1922-1949\, was published by Liverpool University Press in 2019 and was highly commended for the British Association of Irish Studies Book Prize. \nOctober 19 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm at Tyneside Irish Centre\, 43 Gallowgate\, Newcastle upon Tyne\, NE1 4SG \nFree

SUMMARY:Two Book Launch Events: Ed Waugh's Geordie Plays (Volume One)
DESCRIPTION:From Ed Waugh \nI worked with Dave Harker who kindly allowed me to use his incredible research for my play The Great Joe Wilson. Many of you came to see the show (and Mr Corvan’s Music Hall\, based on Dave’s excellent book about Ned Corvan) so you may be interested in Geordie Plays (Volume One). \nThe book comprising Hadaway Harry\, The Great Joe Wilson and Carrying David is out now and was recently included in a small time capsule buried by Newcastle Cathedral. It won’t be opened until June 2121\, which will mean these fantastic stories of forgotten Geordie heroes will be available for future generations. I doubt I’ll be around to see that\, though. \nIf you want to attend the official book launch in October (Saturday 16) at Newcastle City Library there will be two talks. One at 2pm which will be an illustrated talk and costs nothing. The second will take place at 7pm and will include songs and entertainment from the cast. A show! Tickets for this performance will be £3. \nObviously\, this is subject to what happens with the pandemic and could change but we are very confident the talks will go ahead on that date. If you let me know how many tickets you need and the time (2pm or 7pm\, or both) I’ll pass your email on to Derek Tree from Tyne Bridge Publishing so you are guaranteed a ticket(s). \nCarrying David is touring the North East in September and Hadaway Harry next June. Both are going to London. \nhttps://www.wisecrackproductions.co.uk/carrying-david \n https://www.hadawayharry.co.uk/tour-dates \nYou may also be interested in two new plays – Wor Bella and Howay The Lasses. Both deal with munitionette footballers in World War One. Hundreds of women’s football teams were formed nationally (many dozens in the North East) and raised money for charity. Matches attracted hundreds\, even thousands\, of spectators\, including 20\,000 at St James’ Park Newcastle in 1918 for the Munitionettes Cup final and 23\,000 at Ayresome Park\, Middlesbrough\, for the replay. \nThe story of these brave and selfless working class women (munitionettes) who saved the war effort in WW1 is incredible and intriguing – a story that has been largely ignored\, especially by the educational establishment. \nHoway the Lasses is a Durham Gala production and a generic story\, based on actual events locally and nationally. \nhttps://galadurham.co.uk/galapost/howay-the-lasses \nWor Bella is a Wisecrack production about Bella Reay\, the star of Blyth Spartans Ladies who scored 133 goals in 30 matches and is known as “the Alan Shearer of her day”. \nwww.worbella.co.uk \nBoth shows will rock! \nEd \nhttps://www.wisecrackproductions.co.uk/ \nThe book can be bought from the Tyne Bridge Publishing websitehttps://www.newcastle.gov.uk/www.tynebridgepublishing.org.uk and online at Waterstones\, Blackwell’s\, WH Smiths\, Amazon\, Wordery and Foyles. \nIt is available in shops: Waterstones\, Meander\, The Baltic and Newcastle City Library (soon). \nOther shops and museum shops around the region will be supplied by Northern Heritage\, a book distributor.

SUMMARY:Tyneside Irish Festival: Film – Kathleen and Me (Talk and Q and A from writer and actor Janet Behan)
DESCRIPTION:A film by Janet Behan about her grandmother\, Kathleen Behan. Not just a portrait of this extraordinary woman\, but a vivid\, eye-witness account of the birth of the Irish Republic. It’s full of great stories and songs\, some of them written by Kathleen’s brother\, Peadar\, writer of the lyrics to The Soldier’s Song. Kathleen also talks candidly and movingly about her son\, “little poet\,” Brendan. \nAt the age of 91\, Kathleen Behan was persuaded to record her memories on tape by her son Brian. That same year she recorded the ballads and rebel songs she’d been singing all her life. The memories became a book\, the songs an LP. \nKathleen lived through the Easter Rising\, the War of Independence and the Civil war. She took an active role in the fight for an Irish Republic\, surviving near starvation and grinding poverty and holding her family together through thick and thin. Her ‘golden boy’ Brendan\, became famous worldwide for his plays and books only to die tragically young. But\, as Kathleen says\, “You may as well sing grief as cry it…”Combining source material with her own memories of her grandmother\, Janet Behan with Jessica Higgs have created ‘Kathleen and Me’ — a memoir of this indomitable woman. \nOctober 14 @ 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm – Tyneside Irish Centre. This event is on a pay as you feel basis. Suggested donation £5. Doors open 7pm. Talk and Film 8pm.

SUMMARY:Frank Palmeri will talk about Newcastle born eighteenth century satirist and utopian writer Thomas Spence
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Spence has been recognised as the most important socialist thinker of the 1790s. He was also a strong satirist of aristocracy and of land-holders generally. \nThis talk will consider Spence as a satirist and utopian writer\, and will conclude by considering parallels between the thought and writing of Spence and of William Morris a century later. \nFrank Palmeri is Emeritus Professor of English at the University of Miami. \nTo join us for this talk\, which is running only online\, please click on the link below shortly before 2pm on Wednesday: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86919364393?pwd=K2ZSVjc1NlFnUHJWdzdzaDJnOUpDQT09 \nMeeting ID: 869 1936 4393\nPasscode: 363581 \nThe talk will also be recorded for later viewing on our YouTube channel. \nThomas Spence \nThomas Spence was born in Newcastle in 1750. Spence was the leading English revolutionary of his day\, with an unbudgeable commitment to individual and press freedom and the common ownership of the land. \nHis tracts\, such as The Rights of Man (Spence was\, perhaps\, the first to use the phrase) and The Rights of Infants\, along with his utopian visions of ‘Crusonia’ and ‘Spensonia’\, were the most far-reaching radical statements of the period. Spence was born in poverty and died the same way\, after long periods of imprisonment\, in 1814. \nAlthough sometimes hailed as England’s ‘first modern socialist’\, Spence is not easily corralled by later ideologies. He was a mortal enemy of tyranny and what he called ‘giantism’ of all kinds.

SUMMARY:North East Labour History Annual General Meeting. Huw Beynon and Ray Hudson (both former Durham University) on their new book\, The Shadow of The Mine
DESCRIPTION:Join Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/88917964686?pwd=QkJPMDl3Z3IyUnJneTlaQTl5bkZIZz09 \nMeeting ID: 889 1796 4686\nPasscode: 611389 \nThe rise and fall of Britain’s most important industry. No one personified the age of industry more than the miners. The Shadow of the Mine tells the story of King Coal in its heyday—and what happened to mining communities after the last pits closed. \nCoal was central to the British economy\, powering its factories and railways. It carried political weight\, too. In the eighties the miners risked everything in a year-long strike against Thatcher’s shutdowns. Defeat foretold the death of their industry. Tens of thousands were cast onto the labour market with a minimum amount of advice and support. \nToday\, British politics all of a sudden revolves around the coalfield constituencies which lent their votes to Boris Johnson’s Conservatives in 2019. Even in the Welsh Valleys\, where the “red wall” still stands\, support for the Labour Party has halved in a generation. \nHuw Beynon and Ray Hudson draw on decades of research to chronicle these momentous changes through the words of the people who lived through them.

SUMMARY:Berwick Literary Festival\, Mike Fraser lectures: History Through a Northumbrian Lens
DESCRIPTION:Book at http://berwickea.org/event/history-through-a-northumbrian-lens-part-two/ \nThis is a series of three one-hour lectures by Mike Fraser\, organised in association with Berwick Literary Festival. Patrons of the Festival are entitled to a 50% discount on tickets for the full course (see Tickets). This listing is for the full course; you can book individual lectures here. \nThe lectures are on Saturdays: Sept 4\, Sept 18 and Oct 2. \nOur earlier event\, History through a Northumbrian Lens: Part One looked at Sir William Beveridge\, Sir Edward Grey and Sir Charles Trevelyan. \nIn Part Two Mike will discuss John MacKay Wilson\, Lord Walter Runciman\, Thomas Burt and Mabel Philipson to similarly illuminate key issues in British history from electoral reform to the position of women in society. \nJohn MacKay Wilson\, best known for his Tales\, was also a successful Editor of the Berwick Advertiser. Discussion of his powerful editorials will provide a radical perspective on events at the time of the Great Reform Act 1832. \nLord Walter Runciman from Doxford Hall was a rather undistinguished politician when he was sent by Chamberlain to Czechoslovakia in August 1938\, but his subsequent report was crucial to the latter’s “Peace in our time” Munich agreement with Hitler. \nFinally\, Mike discusses the careers of two significant Northumbrian MPs. When Thomas Burt was elected as Liberal MP for Morpeth in 1874\, he was the first working class man to enter Parliament. In 1923 Mabel Philipson replaced her husband as MP for Berwick to become the third female MP to sit in the Commons. The first to be elected\, an Irish Nationalist\, had refused to take her seat. \nSept 4 – John MacKay Wilson \nSept 18 – Lord Walter Runciman \nOct 2 – Thomas Burt and Mabel Philipson \nMike will deliver illustrated talks and there will be ample time for debate about the contributions of these individuals during crucial periods of British history. \nLectures will be delivered via Zoom. If you haven’t used Zoom before\, please go to www.zoom.us and look at the tutorials. Once you have booked\, you will find the Zoom invitation in the Online Event Page on Eventbrite. You will also receive an email with the invitation 24 hours before the event. If you can’t find the invitation\, please email berwickea@gmail.com. \nIf you book this course online\, we will hold your personal data in accordance with our privacy policy.

DESCRIPTION:Zoom link:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/82172314164?pwd=YVd1SVlSdnFXaUdFY3Q1bFBsL2d2dz09\nMeeting ID: 821 7231 4164\nPasscode: 025456 \nMargaret Llewelyn Davies was General Secretary of the Women’s Co-operative Guild between 1889 and 1921\, a tumultuous period of social and political change. \nHer leadership was crucial to the Guild’s development into a unique national organisation of working class wives and mothers; as the Russian revolutionary Alexandra Kollontai said\, it gave the lie to the accepted wisdom that housewives could not be politicised. \nIn her time Margaret was a well known and highly respected campaigner both within and outside the Co-operative movement\, but she has since been undeservedly forgotten. \nThis talk will explore Margaret’s fascinating life\, her contribution to the Guild’s development and the pioneering campaigns which she led\, reflecting her particular combination of feminism and ethical socialism. These ranged from pressing for a Co-operative boycott of ‘sweated’ goods and for better pay for women employees to battling for votes for women\, for liberalised divorce laws\, state maternity provision – and more. \nTo illustrate it we will discuss the campaign to extend Co-operation to poor areas\, in the course of which she worked with the local Co-operative society in an experimental store and settlement in Sunderland. \nRuth is the author of Margaret Llewelyn Davies: With Women for a New World. Publisher’s information: “Margaret Llewelyn Davies (1861-1944)\, a co-operator\, feminist and socialist\, was well known in her time as the outstanding leader of the Women’s Co-operative Guild. This first full scale biography chronicles her life and achievements\, intertwining activity among working class women with her personal story. Margaret Llewelyn Davies’ system of education\, discussion and campaigning opened doors. Women became impressive activists\, committed to change both in the co-operative movement and the wider public world. As one Guild member put it\, ‘from a shy\, nervous woman the Guild made me a fighter’. The Guild flourished\, developing what has been termed a distinctively working class feminism. By 1914 the Manchester Guardian could describe it as ‘probably the most remarkable women’s organisation in the world’. The Guild pressed for boycotting ‘sweated’ goods\, supported trade unions\, battled for a minimum wage\, fought for the vote\, new divorce laws and for state maternity benefit to be paid to the wife. Cohen draws on original research: in newspapers\, the women’s pages of the Co-operative News\, Guild records\, unpublished papers\, and more. This book breaks new ground\, providing not only compelling insights into Margaret Llewelyn Davies’ life and politics\, but a fresh perspective on working class women’s activism\, rediscovering their words\, lives\, ideas and campaigns.” \n

The lettering and International Brigade crest are hand painted. It shows the International Brigades crest\, the names of ten volunteers who fell\, an inscription and a list of XV Brigade Battle Honours. \nThe text of the inscription reads: \nTO DEFEND LIBERTY  . . . they typified the real Britons’ hatred of the tyrant\, they went to safeguard peace and the arts of peace that humanity might go forward. They went to help the defenceless Spanish people fight the invading armies. They went to save their loved ones and us from the horrors of fascism because they loved peace they went out to fight from . . . TEES-SIDE \n The idea for a memorial arose during a 1939 meeting in the offices of the Young Communist League (YCL) in Middlesbrough\, on Marton Road\, it was to be a memorial to their friends and comrades who lost their lives fighting fascism with the International Brigades.

SUMMARY:Durham University: Radical Histories panel discussion
DESCRIPTION:Radical Histories\, an online panel discussion as part of the History Now! series of public talks organised between the Durham University History Department and the Gala Theatre\, Durham\, takes place on Tuesday 4 May between 5.30 and 6.30pm. Register here – all welcome! \nHere’s the link on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/events/1051430605260613 \nRadical political movements today are often articulated via references to historic struggles in the past. Activists look to lost comrades and lost friends\, to generations of forebears that can offer powerful examples for the present. \nFinding friends in the past provides emotional sustenance and historic legitimacy for radical movements\, and uncovering radical pasts is a way of disrupting histories and narratives that insist on the marginalisation of certain stories. Study of these pasts can reveal the agency of ordinary people\, the brutality of elites\, and the victories achieved – as well as defeats suffered – by past radical movements. \nJohn Charlton\, Laura Forster\, and Theo Williams will discuss what radical history means to them in their work on labour history in the north east\, transnational political activism in the nineteenth century\, and Pan-Africanism and anti-imperialism. How might radical histories inform the radical movements of today? Can academic history be ‘radical’? What role do regional historical societies and community organisations play in preserving radical pasts? \nThe panellists will consider all of these questions and more as they explore the uses of radical history\, its limitations\, and its futures.

SUMMARY:Book launch: Sylvia Pankhurst Natural Born Rebel
DESCRIPTION:Online book launch of this major new biography with author Rachel Holmes in conversation with historian Mary Davis \nRegister here https://www.marx-memorial-library.org.uk/event/289 \nBorn into one of Britain’s most famous activist families\, Sylvia Pankhurst was a natural rebel; a talented artist\, prolific writer and a newspaper editor. A free spirit and radical visionary\, history placed her in the shadow of her famous mother\, Emmeline\, and elder sister\, Christabel. Yet Sylvia Pankhurst was the most revolutionary of them all. \nSylvia found her voice fighting militantly for votes for women\, but the vote was just the beginning of her lifelong defence of human rights. From her early warnings of the rise of fascism in Europe\, to her campaigning against racism and championing of the liberation struggles in Africa and India\, Sylvia’s adventures in America\, Soviet Russia\, Scandinavia\, Europe and East Africa made her a true internationalist. She was one of the great minds of the modern era\, engaging with political giants\, including Churchill\, Lenin\, Rosa Luxemburg\, George Bernard Shaw\, W.E.B. Du Bois and Haile Selassie. \nHolmes argues that Pankhurst’s campaigning reached far beyond the suffragette movement and in Sylvia Pankhurst she interweaves the personal and political to reveal Sylvia Pankhurst as never before. \nAttendees will receive the zoom link via eventbrite 24 hours in advance.

SUMMARY:Second Tuesday: Professor Ralph Darlington\, Analysing the Contexts and Causes of the 1910-14 Labour Revolt
DESCRIPTION:Join Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85812281578?pwd=WG90Y1Y5UFJYM1Vva003amYvcHBaQT09\nMeeting ID: 858 1228 1578\nPasscode: 383471 \nThe ‘Labour Unrest’ – or what more precisely should be termed ‘Labour Revolt’ – that swept Britain in the years leading up to the First World War between 1910 and 1914 was one of the most sustained\, dramatic and violent explosions of industrial militancy and social conflict the country has ever experienced. Most explanations for the causes of this strike wave have tended to focus almost exclusively on economic factors\, on the way in which the decline in real wages and purchasing power after 1900 and the sudden upturn in trade and employment after 1910 provided the major economic impetus for a series of wage demands that lead to strike action. Yet arguably\, even if the most commonly reported single cause of strikes was pay\, this hardly offers an adequate explanation\, by itself\, for the scale\, insurgent nature\, rank-and-file dynamic and broader political challenge of the industrial rebellion that swept Britain during this period. \nThis talk attempts to provide an understanding of the way in which there was a coalescence of a multifaceted set of interconnected contextual and casual elements (structure and agency) contributing to the process. Specifically it examines six features: the economic\, industrial and social backcloth; industrial relations and trade union framework; political context; bargaining capacity; leadership and mobilisation resources; and broader zeitgeist of defiance of the authorities and rule of law. In the process\, it assesses the limits and potential of George Dangerfield’s depiction in his celebrated book The Strange Death of Liberal England of a conjunction of three rebellions – by workers\, women and Irish nationalists – that had the cumulative effect of placing the country on the verge of semi-revolution. And there is consideration of the extent to which workers’ readiness to engage in militant strike action depended upon the subjective element – the encouragement they received from the minority of uncompromising working class socialist and syndicalist agitators and propagandists within their own ranks. \nRalph Darlington is Emeritus Professor of Employment Relations at the University of Salford. His research is concerned with the dynamics of trade union organisation\, activity and consciousness within both contemporary and historical settings. He is the author of The Dynamics of Workplace Unionism (Mansell 1994) and Radical Unionism: The Rise and Fall of Revolutionary Syndicalism (Haymarket 2013)\, co-author of Glorious Summer: Class Struggle in Britain 1972 (Bookmarks 2001) and editor of What’s the Point Of Industrial Relations: In Defence of Critical Social Science (2009). He is currently researching to write a book on the 1910-14 Labour Revolt to be published by Pluto Press. \n  \n
