The past and present collide, and intersect, in this groundbreaking study of the achievements of Global Majority workers in the GMB trade union. Based upon historical sources, as well as contemporary interviews, Uprising provides a comprehensive account of trailblazing lives on the Left: from William Cuffay and the Black Chartists to Jayaben Desai and the Grunwick strikers.

If you want to learn something of the struggles and triumphs of Global Majority union members, of their hopes and dreams, then this is the book for you, providing a wonderful mosaic, comprising all the colours and creativity of a myriad of different lives. For the GMB, it marks the beginning of the task of addressing the crisis of visibility of Global Majority people in the Labour Movement and within our own union.
