Featuring accounts from Ayrshire to the South Wales Valleys, each chapter offers a different perspective of the industry. Britain’s last deep coalmine closed in 2015, yet just 50 years ago the mining industry was a juggernaut, employing over 250,000 workers. Combining interviews with extensive archival research, the author illuminates the extraordinary history of the industry once considered the backbone of Britain. By situating the miners’ strike of 1984-85 in a longer history of the coalfields, we can understand why miners and their families fought so hard against pit closures, and what happened after the pit wheels stopped turning. Vivid, evocative and richly alive with minute detail, ‘Mining Men’ explores what the mining industry once meant to its workers and their communities, and what Britain lost when it was gone.

We’ve learned that the way to get ahead is through strong will, grit and naked ambition. The belief that self-interest makes the world go round has served us well: it has helped make societies more affluent. More and more often however, financial success comes down to being seen as passionate, not a grim determination to be successful for the sake of success itself. In ‘Beyond Self-Interest’, Krzysztof Pelc argues that those who prosper increasingly do so by spurning prosperity, or by convincing others that they are pursuing passion, purpose, love of craft – anything but their own self-advancement.

An in-depth exploration of the importance of the North of England in the modern era, ‘The North Will Rise Again’ covers the colourful adventures of its inhabitants, the expansiveness and optimism that defines Northern culture and the recurrent sense of failure and despair that is at the heart of one of the West’s most impoverished regions. By telling the story of the North in the last few decades, author Alex Niven goes in search of answers to some of the big questions at the forefront of British politics and society today, touching on live issues including the North/South divide, austerity, the impact of Brexit, the collapse of Labour’s ‘Red Wall’, and calls for regional devolution.

Miles, a successful lawyer, is mistaken for the waiter at a networking event. Femi is on the verge of breakdown having been consistently overlooked for promotion at her university. Nigel’s emails, repeatedly expressing concern about his employer’s forthcoming slavery exhibition, are ignored. Carol knows she can’t let herself relax at the work Christmas party. This is racism. It is not about the overt acts of random people at the fringes of society. It’s about the everyday. It’s the loaded silence, the throwaway remark, the casual comment or a ‘joke’ in the workplace. It’s everything. ‘The Racial Code’ is a examination of the hidden rules of race and racism that govern our lives and how they maintain the status quo.
