An invitation from Bridget Williams Books
Lectures by Helen Kelly and Cybèle Locke
Please come to these free public lectures and the launch of Cybèle Locke's Workers in the Margins: Union Radicals in Post-War New Zealand.
WELLINGTON:

St Andrew's on the Terrace, 30 The Terrace
AUCKLAND:

New Zealand is entering a new phase of industrial unrest. These lectures will connect today's challenges with Cybèle Locke's account of 'marginal workers' in the late twentieth century.
As Erik Olssen says, Workers in the Margins 'recaptures the mood and texture of a radical movement' and is 'a substantial contribution to New Zealand scholarship that will be of great interest to all those concerned with social justice'.
