Often terse and illuminating, displaying remarkably little disingenuousness or pure cant, it shows nicely that to wage the ideological struggle effectively need not require the relentless defence of one's own intellectual ego.'

The Times Educational Supplement. £3.50 paper covers £1.75 Marxist Introductions •. • Marxism and Literature Raymond Williams 'The creativeness and vitality of "new" post-Stalinist Marxism is now widely acknowledged, as are its fads and escapism. In Marxism and Literature Raymond Williams asserts, for the first time, that his own contribution should be considered a Marxist one. Williams has brought his authority and experience, established by his immense critical achievement, into the Marxist tradition:' New Society. £3.50 paper covers £1.75 Marxist Introductions ...... The Inequality of Pay Sir Henry Phelps Brown Why does or should one person earn several times as much as another?" ' The economist's answer relies mainly on the principles of supply and • demand in the labour market, whereas the sociologist finds more significance in the differentiation of the labour force by class, status, and power; and on his reckoning there is much greater possibility of reducing inequality. The aim of this book is to examine both ways of accounting for the inequality of pay, and to use the insights thus gained to assess the possibilities of achieving a more equal society. £7.95 Br.

Silvert "... these scholarly essays contain so many insights into Latin America that they •are truly timeless/' Library Joumal Essays in Understanding Latin America is Kalman Silvert's last book on the area to which he made such outstanding scholarly contributions. After discussing the role that the social sciences themselves must play in the complex web of research, politics, and policy, he goes on to criticize U.S. actions towards Latin America and to predict the future alternatives for the region.

Weinert "...this kind of work was badly needed.. .all the essays show notable concern with economic relations, avoiding the fallacy of viewing the political system as isolated from the rest of society."

Kern "It seems unlikely that this study will have any serious rival as a broad overall account of Spanish anarchism for some time." Stanley G. Payne In Red Years/Black Years Robert Kern has written a compelling yet balanced account that begins with the emergence of the Confederacion Nacional del Trabajo (CNT) in 1911 and ends with the collapse of the movement in 1937. It traces the early attempts to organize the working classes; the strikes, lockouts, and assassinations; the exile of the anarchists during the Primo de Rivera dictatorship; and finally the victory and the tragedy of the 1930's — a decade that saw the anarchists begin a social revolution in Catalonia, take positions of power in both the regional and national governments, and then lose it all almost overnight, in a bloody conflict with the communists and Catalan regionalists. The research for the book included interviews with surviving participants as well as a detailed examination of anarchist archives.

  • Mrs. Thatcher's Return to Victorian Values
    proceedings of the British Academy, 78, 9-29 Mrs. Thatcher’s Return to Victorian Values RAPHAEL SAMUEL University of Oxford I ‘VICTORIAN’was still being used as a routine term of opprobrium when, in the run-up to the 1983 election, Mrs. Thatcher annexed ‘Victorian values’ to her Party’s platform and turned them into a talisman for lost stabilities. It is still commonly used today as a byword for the repressive just as (a strange neologism of the 1940s) ‘Dickensian’ is used as a short-hand expression to describe conditions of squalor and want. In Mrs. Thatcher’s lexicon, ‘Victorian’ seems to have been an interchangeable term for the traditional and the old-fashioned, though when the occasion demanded she was not averse to using it in a perjorative sense. Marxism, she liked to say, was a Victorian, (or mid-Victorian) ideo1ogy;l and she criticised ninetenth-century paternalism as propounded by Disraeli as anachronistic.2 Read 12 December 1990. 0 The British Academy 1992.

  • Chapter 2. 1979-83: Weak Agency and Labour's Electoral Nadir
    Chapter 2. 1979-83: Weak Agency and Labour’s Electoral Nadir Introduction The period from 1979 to 1983 represented, in more ways than one, a nadir for the Labour Party. The 1974-9 government was brought down on a vote of no confidence following a winter of industrial action. Many felt that Callaghan should have called the election in late 1978, when Labour’s electoral prospects seemed better, and in hindsight it appears difficult to disagree. Nonetheless, on May 3, 1979, the Conservative Party won a majority of 43 seats in the House of Commons, and Margaret Thatcher became Britain’s first woman prime minister. Table 2.1: British General Election Results, 1979 and 1983.1 Party MPs % Share of Votes 1979 1983 1979 1983 Conservative 339 397 43.9 42.4 Labour 269 209 36.9 27.6 Lib/SDP Alliance 11 23 13.8 25.4 Plaid Cymru 2 2 0.4 0.4 Scottish National Party 2 2 1.6 1.1 Others 12 17 3.4 3.1 Total 635 650 100.0 100.0 Within the next four years things went from bad to worse for Labour. The Party experienced a period of intense in-fighting which undermined the Party’s credibility and led to the creation in 1981 of a new centre-left party in the shape of the Social Democratic Party (SDP). At the 1983 general election, as Table 2.1 shows, the Party barely managed to finish in second place behind the Conservatives in terms of votes won, and had its worst electoral performance (in terms of its share of total votes cast) since the First World War.

  • Oxfordcolleges
    Oxford colleges Oxford University is made up of different colleges. Colleges are academic communities. They are where students usually have their tutorials. Each one has its own dining hall, bar, common room and library, and lots of college groups and societies. If you study here you will be a member of a college, and probably have your tutorials in that college. You will also be a member of the wider University, with access to University and department facilities like laboratories and libraries, as well as hundreds of University groups and societies. You would usually have your lectures and any lab work in your department, with other students from across the University. There is something to be said for an academic atmosphere wherein everyone you meet is both passionate about what they are studying and phenomenally clever to boot.

  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain National Affairs A. HE DOMINANT POLITICAL EVENT of 1987 was the Conservative vic- tory in the general election in June. Margaret Thatcher entered an unprecedented third term as prime minister with a total of 375 seats, giving her a slightly reduced majority over the previous term. Labor won 229 seats, a small increase; and the Liberal-Social Democratic Alliance, 22, a slight drop. While the results clearly confirmed the success of the "Thatcher revolution" among the enlarged middle class, they also revealed the ongoing divisions in British society, geographic and economic. The Conservatives scored heavily in London, southern England, and the Midlands, while Labor was strong in economically depressed areas in Wales, Scot- land, and the north. In the election aftermath, the two parties constituting the Alliance, i.e., the Liberals and the Social Democrats, decided to go their separate ways, amid mutual recriminations, although an attempt was made by part of the Social Democrats to merge with the Liberals. On the Labor side, its third successive defeat gave impetus to a major reconsideration of traditional party policies. The Tory victory reflected satisfaction with a generally improved economy. In March the chancellor of the exchequer was able to reduce income taxes without imposing any further taxes on gasoline, tobacco, or liquor. Unemployment, which had reached 3.25 million in February, declined by the end of the year to 2.8 million, less than 10 percent of the working population. During the whole year there were fewer than 1,000 separate strikes—for only the second time since 1940.

  • Winter's Not Yet Gone
    Winter’s not yet gone Construction and Memory of the Winter of Discontent in Popular and Scholarly Discourse Sam Henick Columbia University Undergraduate History Thesis — Spring 2018 Seminar Convener: Professor Blackmar Second Reader: Professor Pedersen Introduction Control over the historiography is as important as control over the history itself. 1 — Donald McCloskey, If You’re So Smart (1990) On 28 March 1979, Margaret Thatcher, the leader of the Opposition, posed a vote of no confidence, declaring that: “The people witnessed the spectacle of a Government abdicating their authority to strike committees. The Prime Minister’s objectives were not achieved, and his strategy failed.”2 The motion passed 311 to 310, leading to the fall of the Labour government, the first administration to leave office because of a Commons division since 1924.3 How did the Labour Government find itself in this position five years after it had been elected? More specifically, how did the Government conduct itself leading up to and during the “Winter of Discontent” and how did the Government’s actions fit into broader narratives of economic decline and ungovernability? The Winter of Discontent is the name the British press assigned to the wave of industrial unrest that gripped the UK beginning at the end of 1978 and continuing through February 1979. January 22, 1979 was the biggest individual day of strike action since the General Strike of 1926, with an estimated 1.5 million public sector workers walking off their jobs. The strikes themselves and their coverage in the press reveal an underlying narrative; Colin Hay’s seminal article “Narrating Crisis” (1996) analyzes the discursive construction of the moment of “crisis” and the Winter of Discontent as “a strategic moment in the transformation of the British state.”4 The “metanarrative” of the crisis of ungovernability was established through the implicit linking of primary narratives of 1 Donald McCloskey, If You’re So Smart (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1990), 50.

  • PARTISANSHIP, PERFORMANCE and PERSONALITY Competing and Complementary Characterizations of the 2001 British General Election
    PARTY POLITICS VOL 9. No.3 pp. 317–345 Copyright © 2003 SAGE Publications London Thousand Oaks New Delhi www.sagepublications.com PARTISANSHIP, PERFORMANCE AND PERSONALITY Competing and Complementary Characterizations of the 2001 British General Election John Bartle ABSTRACT The study of voting behaviour is characterized by controversy about the ‘importance’ of various explanatory themes and specific variables, but there is a widespread reluctance to assess these hypotheses in a compre- hensive causal model. This article specifies a model of Labour and Conservative voting in the 2001 British General Election which incor- porates a whole series of competing and complementary hypotheses. The results suggest that partisanship, prospective evaluations of competence and favourable evaluations of Tony Blair all contributed to Labour’s victory, while retrospective evaluations of Labour’s record on crime and asylum-seekers reduced the size of Labour’s victory. Analyses that incorporate a new measure of party identification suggest that long- term partisanship may have contributed less and short-term factors correspondingly more to the aggregate election outcome. KEY WORDS causal modelling evaluations of party leaders party identification prospective voting retrospective voting Introduction In the wake of every general election, political commentators and party poli- ticians alike rush to offer ‘instant’ interpretations of the outcome on the basis of the impressions that they formed during the long or short campaigns.
