Description
Providing a searing insight and honest portrayal of post-industrial communities ravaged by decades of abandonment, How Black Was My Valley is the story of lives defined by poverty, catastrophe and the fading dreams of better futures.
"Written with authentic authority. It is evocative and excellent in every possible way." – Neil Kinnock
How Black Was My Valley offers a raw, unforgettable look into the post-industrial landscape of South Wales, capturing the impact of poverty, disaster, and lost futures on communities that once fueled the British Empire. This powerful account intertwines personal stories with political insights, revealing the deep scars left by decades of economic abandonment.
This compelling people's history explores the former mining communities of South Wales, shedding light on the hardship, isolation, and despair endured by those who once powered two world wars. Blending empathy and brutal honesty, the book travells through the dark shadows of the valley's past and present, confronting structural violence, lost opportunities, and the tragic rise in drug abuse and suicide.
Rejecting narratives of resilience, How Black Was My Valley is a journey into a community's unhealed wounds—a poignant testament to voices once silenced, now demanding to be heard.
