A succinct, urgent and never-before seen collection of Berger's writing on mineworkers and miners' strikes celebrating both his acclaimed writing and deep-rooted politics The Underground Sea is a succinct, urgent collection of writing from John Berger's archive. It brings together for the first time his work on mineworkers and the miners' strikes and has been edited as a set of actions for today: a time when people are rediscovering the necessity, power and possibilities of collective action.
Including essays, transcripts, interviews and images, it places itself in the heart of a Derbyshire mining village, with reflections on the everyday life of a typical pit community.
