Publisher's Synopsis
The Workers Education Association has touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in New South Wales. Every year, up to 20,000 adults enrol in courses that cover a bewildering range of subjects, from the Crusades to Creating Websites. Darryl Dymock's well-researched text traces the history of this much-loved institution through the second half of the 20th century. Many well known Australian identities - both in the educational and the politial spheres - play key roles in the WEA story, in which thwarted ambitions, political intrigue and power games figure prominently.
