SOLIDARITY INDEX (1972)

The following is a list of the main articles published in SOLIDARITY over the last 12 years (i.e. between October 1960 and October 1972), and of various Solidarity pamphlets and books published during this period.

The classification of the articles is somewhat arbitrary and an occasional item will be found under two different headings. The list, which does not claim to be comprehensive, will give new readers and subscribers some idea of our range of interests and activities over the past decade. The articles are listed in chronological sequence, under the following headings:

  1. About ourselves
  2. Cartoons
  3. Civil Rights
  4. Documents
  5. General
  6. Historical
  7. Industrial (excluding motors)
  8. International
  9. Ireland
  10. Labour Party
  11. Motors
  12. Nonsense … or is it?
  13. Peace Movement
  14. Racialism
  15. Reviews (books and films)
  16. Scientists
  17. Songs and poems
  18. Students, youth
  19. Tenants and homeless struggles
  20. Theoretical
  21. Women’s Lib. etc.
  22. Workers’ Control

It will be seen that the considerable number of articles relating to the car industry has necessitated a special section on ‘Motors’ - which has in turn been further subdivided in relation to the main car firms.

References take the form volume number, issue number and page number. (For instance 3.7.19 means page 19 of issue no. 7 of volume 3.)

The first 5 issues of volume I of our paper appeared under the name ‘AGITATOR’. From issue no.6 on, the paper was called ‘SOLIDARITY’. Complete series of ‘ Solidarity’ and of ‘Solidarity’ Pamphlets will be found at the Library of the International Institute of Social History (Herengracht 262-266, Amsterdam C, Holland) and at the British Museum. Rather less complete series are also available at the Bodleian library, Oxford; at the University Library, Cambridge; at the National Library of Scotland, Edinburgh; at the Library of Trinity College, Dublin; at the Library of the London School of Economics, Houghton St., London WC2, and at University of Michigan Library (Labadie Collection), Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104, USA.
 

 
The papers and pamphlets referred to in this bibliography are those produced by the original ‘Socialism Reaffirmed’ group - which early in 1965 became the ‘Solidarity’ group, and in 1969 the ‘Solidarity’ (North London) group. Other, entirely autonomous, ‘Solidarity’ groups have come and gone over the last 12 years. A number are active in various parts of the country, and are engaged in various types of agitational and propaganda work. Some have produced their own ‘Solidarity’ journals and pamphlets. An acceptance of the statement ‘As We See It’ - and of its implications - is the basis of recognition of these groups as part of a ‘Solidarity’ movement. Details concerning the publications of these various autonomous groups can be obtained by writing to them directly, at the addresses listed in each issue of ‘Solidarity’(London).

Communications about the present bibliography - or about our own pamphlets and books - should be addressed to ‘Solidarity’(London), c/o 27 Sandringham Road, London N.W.11.
 
August 1972.

On the following pages is a list and brief description of the pamphlets we have produced (or in the production of which we have been associated) during the last years. Also listed are some of the pamphlets produced by other Solidarity groups.

 

Many of our pamphlets have been repeatedly reprinted, in fact until the stencils literally fell to pieces. Others are out of print and unlikely to be republished. Those still obtainable - or likely to be available shortly are marked with an asterisk. (Information about pamphlets produced by other Solidarity groups cannot be guaranteed as accurate and should be confirmed from the groups themselves.)

 

A complete recosting of all Solidarity (North London) productions is now being undertaken and we cannot at the moment quote costs for various items, except in very general terms:the prices will probably vary between 1/- (5 new pence) and 5/- (25 new pence).

 

Please write to us for further details.
