This social investigation examines the struggles of the coal miners and glass workers of Carmaux and Albi, France in the late 19th century, as they push back against oppressive working conditions and unjust compensation. Léon de Seilhac offers a thorough analysis of the economic, political, and social forces at play, as well as the personal stories of the workers involved. This book sheds light on a lesser-known yet vital chapter in the history of labor rights and social justice.
