First in government from 19351949, Labour set the terms of economic and social policy for over 40 years only to then struggle to define itself during the 1950s and 60s.

Helen Clark's nine-year reconciliation of social democracy and globalisation followed, proving across the century that Labour has consistently represented a broad-based party of reform. Labour: The New Zealand Labour Party 19162016 shows how Labour builds on a long tradition of radical and democratic agitation, and how members and activists from all walks of life fought for their their economic and social visions.

An essential read for all with an interest in New Zealand's political history, this ...
