Opis

Voices of Guinness tells the story of work in the twentieth and early twenty-first century through one plant-the former Guinness brewery at Park Royal West London. It reflects on questions of industrial citizenship, work meaning, identity, loss, deindustrialization, and change through powerful oral histories with a wealth of archival and photographic materials.

This is oral history at its very best!
