When a young socialist activist asked me for some suggested reading on Australian labour history it started me wondering what would be a good starting point. I ended up suggesting Humphrey McQueen's A New Brittania (1970) because it was a critique of previous writing on Australian labour history from a perspective that recognised the impact of imperialism and racism on the development of the Australian labour movement.
