The radical response to conservative heritage tours and banal
day-tripper guides, Rebel Footprints brings to life the history of
social movements in the capital. Transporting readers from well-known
landmarks to history-making hidden corners, David Rosenberg tells the
story of protest and struggle in London from the early nineteenth to
the mid-twentieth century.
From the suffragettes to the socialists, from the Chartists to the
trade unionists, the book invites us to step into the footprints of a
diverse cast of dedicated fighters for social justice.
Self-directed walks pair with narratives that seamlessly blend
history, politics and geography, and beautifully illustrated maps
immerse the reader in the story of the city. Whether you are visiting
it for the first time, or born and raised in it, Rosenberg invites you
to see London as you never have before: the nation’s capital as its
radical centre.
