JEREMY DELLER
The English Civil War Part II:
Personal accounts of the 1984-85 miners’ strike
Initiated by artist Jeremy Deller, The Battle of Orgreave was a partial re-enactment of one of the most violent clashes between striking miners and police during the 1984-85 miners’ strike. The original standoff took place on 18 June 1984, the re-enactment some seventeen years later, on 17 June 2001.
The English Civil War Part II contains a series of personal accounts by people who were all in different ways involved with the strike and the re-enactment. The texts are accompanied by a wealth of images, pamphlets, news clippings, photos from personal scrapbooks, song texts, and a selection of photographs of the re-enactment. The accompanying CD contains over an hour of interviews with former miners and their wives.
