Transformative Propaganda: Opening the Archives of the British Safety Council
Autor Mike Esbesteren Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 noi 2018
In 2014, a long-lost collection of posters, papers and letters were found gathering dust in a warehouse. The British Safety Council, wanting to mark its 60-year history and its role in reducing deaths at work, decided to preserve the collection and commissioned historian Mike Esbester to trace the history of health and safety in Britain from the late 1960s through the posters and photographs of the time.
Transformative Propaganda: Opening the Archives of the British Safety Council offers a fascinating and vivid insight into the social and political realities of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s through a wealth of historical documents, press cuttings, correspondence, photographs and posters. It offers a truly extraordinary window onto the evolution of health and safety within the UK and richly deserves a place on the bookshelf of every safety professional.

Notă biografică
Dr Mike Esbester is Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Portsmouth. His research explores the history of safety, risks and accident prevention in modern Britain, including a focus on why persuasive techniques (such as education) have been used, what messages they have conveyed, what they say about British society and what people thought of them. He is particularly interested in the role of non-governmental organisations like the British Safety Council, with whom he has been working for a number of years, including the initial enquiries that led to the rediscovery of the British Safety Council’s archive upon which this book is based.
