BOOK REVIEW

Pete Thomas, The Coalminers of Queensland: A Narrative History of the Queensland Colliery Employees Union, Volume 2: The Pete Thomas Essays, CFMEU Queensland District Branch, Spring Hill, 2007. pp. v + 476. $39.95 paper.

The history of coal mining unions is a fundamental feature of labour history in Australia and internationally. A multitude of popular, accessible texts have been published which celebrate the actions and achievements of rank and file miners and their communities, through the support and militant activity of their unions. The Coalminers of Queensland, Volume 2 adds to this popular narrative. This text focuses on a period of coal mining history which is often overlooked in Australia, the 1960s to the 1980s.
