Representing 'White Slavery' in Britain C.1880 – 1912 Vice Beyond the Pale: Representing ‘White Slavery’ in Britain c.1880 – 1912 Rachael Claire Attwood UCL 1 This thesis is submitted for the degree of PhD I, Rachael Claire Attwood, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract This thesis will explore the discourses of ‘white slavery’, as used to represent the traffic in women and girls for the purposes of sexual exploitation during the first chapter of the history of trafficking in Britain between c.1880 and 1912. It will trace the reconfigurations to these discourses and seek to locate their wider significance(s). How did ‘white slavery’, as a means of thinking about sexual danger in specific times and places, function and why was it made to function in this way? What does its application tell us about the society in which discourses of ‘white slavery’ had resonance? What is the significance of sex trafficking in modern Britain? It will approach this task by analysing, contextualizing and comparing the discourses of ‘white slavery’ that emerged during each of three distinct moments in the history of trafficking in Britain, namely, the scandal over the exploitation of British girls on the near Continent between 1880 and 1882, the proliferation of an international anti-trafficking movement in an age of mass-migration between 1899 and 1910, and the struggle for a Criminal Law Amendment Act to combat trafficking in 1912. Focus will be on the discourses of the individuals and groups rallying against trafficking but the discourses of those dismissive of the need for action against such exploitation will also be considered for the insight these negative voices provide into perceptions of trafficking. This process not only promises to improve our understanding of the nature and implications of the phenomenon of trafficking throughout the years under examination. It also promises to improve our understanding of organized responses to systematic sex crimes against women in modern British history and, moreover, our understanding of the nature of hegemony and the loci of power in society during turn-of-the-century Britain. 3 Table of Contents Abstract 3 List of Graphs & Illustrations 5 Acknowledgements 6 Abbreviations 8 Introduction 9 Section One Re-scripting Sexual Exploitation: The Belgian Affair & the Birth of Britain’s Campaign Against Trafficking, 1880 – 1882 Chapter One 45 Chapter Two 70 Section Two Unwelcome Departures?

My principal supervisor, Catherine Hall, has shown me exceptional kindness and patience throughout my time at UCL. It was Catherine who inspired me to set off on the path to becoming an historian when she taught me as an undergraduate at UCL, and it is thanks to her guidance and constructive criticism that I have become the historian I am today. I am also deeply thankful to Anne Summers, whose enthusiasm for my research project, sound advice and generosity both in reading my work and sharing her own with me, have helped beyond measure in writing this thesis. We joked about it at the time, but I was honoured that you signed that copy of the History Workshop Journal offprint for me! Keith McClelland has been an invaluable source of encouragement and expertise since my undergraduate days, and has offered me much support in my role as teaching assistant. My secondary supervisor, Axel Körner, has given me useful feedback and much needed reassurance, and so too has Carol Dyhouse, especially in discussing the ‘white slave’ question with me. A big ‘thank you’ must also be extended to the staff of The Women’s Library, and to Teresa Doherty in particular, for so patiently helping me over the past few summers. I am also grateful to UCL for assisting me in completing my research by awarding me the Simeon Shoul scholarship. The Institute of Historical Research’s Reconfiguring the British and Modern British History seminars have helped me to think about trafficking in Britain in a broader context, and I am thankful for being given the opportunity to present my work at each seminar. My work has also benefited from the feedback I have received at the Women’s History Network and Social History Society conferences, as well as from the ideas and interpretations of modern British history from the two classes of undergraduates I have taught at UCL. Many thanks are due to Esme Cleall, Simone Borgstede, Anna Gust, Liz Harvey, and John Stevens for showing me the ropes as a UCL postgraduate; to Laura Ishiguro and Hilary Ingram for reading my work and offering me advice at key moments; and to Kate Donington and Charlotte Lydia Riley for their support and friendship. Outside of academia, I owe my sanity to, among other people, Elizabeth Minor, Rosie and David 6 Cutts, and Stuart Hallifax. Paul Rollason has shown me great kindness in difficult times, and this will never be forgotten. Eric has helped me complete this thesis and has, along with a certain Mlle. Camille, changed history for me. Ultimately, I owe a debt of gratitude to my parents. My mother, who is one of the strongest women and feminists in the world without knowing it, has shown me unwavering love and support. My father, a formidable ‘radical retiree’, has patiently read through the various parts of this thesis, offering me advice and invaluable guidance on the way. Both have taught me determination and conviction. Both have given me the chance to pursue my studies and I am conscious that this opportunity is something that past generations of my family have not been fortunate enough to have. ‘Thank you’ does not cover it.

Just as their peers would do, and had done for some years, throughout Britain’s colonies, dominions and dependencies under the auspices of the League of Empire, they gathered to manifest their pride in Britain’s imperial status and to demonstrate the ‘oneness in diversity of the British brotherhood’. A vibrant pageant ensued to the sounds of the bands from the Thirteenth Battalion London Regiment and Queen Victoria’s Rifles. Presided over by the Lord Mayor of London, the Duchess of Argyll, Lord Meath and a number of other elite members of the League and imperial representatives, a Union Jack was hoisted aloft from a central flagstaff and sixty-five standard-bearers representing each of Britain’s imperial territories marched in front of it, lowering their colours in salute to the British flag. Then, to drum rolls from the bands and patriotic cries from the audience, all of the young attendees made a pledge of loyalty to the flag before marching in columns past the central flagstaff. With the fervour of the occasion reaching fever pitch, the grand finale began. The imperial standard bearers marched past the Union Jack once again, this time to the sound of a song that had been reserved for that moment.1 And so rang out the Georgic air, written by James Thomson and set to music by Thomas Arne in 1740, which had come to represent Britain’s alternative national anthem: When Britain first, at Heaven’s command, Arose from out the azure main; This was the charter, the charter of the land, And guardian angels sang this strain: ‘Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves: Britons never shall be slaves’ 1 See: The Times (20 May 1912); The Advertiser, Adelaide, SA (21 May 1912) 9 The nations, not so blest as thee, Must, in their turn, to tyrants fall; While thou shalt flourish great and free, The dread and envy of them all.

  • 'White Slavery': Trafficking, the Jewish Association, and the Dangerous
    DOI: 10.14197/atr.20121777 Looking Beyond ‘White Slavery’: Trafficking, the Jewish Association, and the dangerous politics of migration control in England, 1890-1910 Rachael Attwood Abstract This article seeks to revise Jo Doezema‘s suggestion that ‗the white slave‘ was the only dominant representation of ‗the trafficked woman‘ used by early anti-trafficking advocates in Europe and the United States, and that discourses based on this figure of injured innocence are the only historical discourses that are able to shine light on contemporary anti-trafficking rhetoric. ‗The trafficked woman‘ was a figure painted using many shades of grey in the past, with a number of injurious consequences, not only for trafficked persons but also for female labour migrants and migrant populations at large. In England, dominant organisational portrayals of ‗the trafficked woman‘ had acquired these shades by the 1890s, when trafficking started to proliferate amid mass migration from Continental Europe, and when controversy began to mount over the migration of various groups of working-class foreigners to the country. This article demonstrates these points by exploring the way in which the Jewish Association for the Protection of Girls and Women (JAPGW), one of the pillars of England‘s early anti-trafficking movement, represented the female Jewish migrants it deemed at risk of being trafficked into sex work between 1890 and 1910. It argues that the JAPGW stigmatised these women, placing most of the blame for trafficking upon them and positioning them to a greater or a lesser extent as ‗undesirable and undeserving working-class foreigners‘ who could never become respectable English women.

    Women's Experimental Autobiography from Counterculture Comics to Transmedia Storytelling: Staging Encounters Across Time, Space, and Medium Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Ohio State University Alexandra Mary Jenkins, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Jared Gardner, Advisor Sean O’Sullivan Robyn Warhol Copyright by Alexandra Mary Jenkins 2014 Abstract Feminist activism in the United States and Europe during the 1960s and 1970s harnessed radical social thought and used innovative expressive forms in order to disrupt the “grand perspective” espoused by men in every field (Adorno 206). Feminist student activists often put their own female bodies on display to disrupt the disembodied “objective” thinking that still seemed to dominate the academy. The philosopher Theodor Adorno responded to one such action, the “bared breasts incident,” carried out by his radical students in Germany in 1969, in an essay, “Marginalia to Theory and Praxis.” In that essay, he defends himself against the students’ claim that he proved his lack of relevance to contemporary students when he failed to respond to the spectacle of their liberated bodies. He acknowledged that the protest movements seemed to offer thoughtful people a way “out of their self-isolation,” but ultimately, to replace philosophy with bodily spectacle would mean to miss the “infinitely progressive aspect of the separation of theory and praxis” (259, 266). Lisa Yun Lee argues that this separation continues to animate contemporary feminist debates, and that it is worth returning to Adorno’s reasoning, if we wish to understand women’s particular modes of theoretical ii insight in conversation with “grand perspectives” on cultural theory in the twenty-first century.

ABSTRACT The thesis argues that the most distinctive feature of the Labour Church was Theological Socialism. For its founder, John Trevor, Theological Socialism was the literal Religion of Socialism, a post-Christian prophecy announcing the dawn of a new utopian era explained in terms of the Kingdom of God on earth; for members of the Labour Church, who are referred to throughout the thesis as Theological Socialists, Theological Socialism was an inclusive message about God working through the Labour movement. By focussing on Theological Socialism the thesis challenges the historiography and reappraises the significance of the Labour

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) dr section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages, This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
