Harold Wilson’s labour governments 1964-1970, 1974-1976

الملخص EN

The article deals with the Labour governments, 1964-70, 1974-1976 and concentrates on Britain's domestic policy during Harold Wilson's tenure as Prime Minister.

It discusses, in particular, how the Labour party tried to come to terms with the 1960s 'political revolution'.

It is grounded in original research, takes a unique account of responses from Labour's grassroots and from Wilson's ministerial colleagues, and constructs a total history of the party at this critical moment in history.

It focuses on how the party approached issues such as the apparent transformation of the class structure, the changing place of women, rising black immigration, the apparently widening generation gap, and increasing calls for direct participation in politics.

It provides an unrivalled insight into the development of Britain under Harold Wilson's governments.
