  • 1 Katrina Navickas What Happened to Class? New Histories of Labour and Collective Action in Britain. Recently, My Family Called
    1 Katrina Navickas What Happened to Class? New Histories of Labour and Collective Action in Britain. Recently, my family called me a „labour historian‟. A „labour historian‟ is one of the last epithets I would give to my thoroughly bourgeois self, so I considered why they made that association. In 2005, I published an article rethinking Luddism, the machine– breaking outbreaks of 1812. It stuck out somewhat incongruously as an old–fashioned topic, although I had reworked it with a postmodernist nod towards the agency of language.1 In the heyday of labour history in the 1960s and 1970s, it was a natural assumption to connect the study of trade unions and the Labour party with labour‟s more troublesome sister, social movements and popular protest. Yet over the past couple of decades, labour history has changed. Many of its historians no longer regard the labour (and Labour) movement as the be–all and end–all of the history of the working class. Their interests have diversified, shedding new light on identities and activities that are not completely subsumed by a narrative of class. Perhaps, indeed, I had mistaken myself for a labour historian of the old sort, even though methodologically and culturally I was far from being so. Although I did not realise it at the time, however, protest history had begun to be rethought and revived in a new direction. This is a review of recent developments in British labour and collective action history. In 2009, I returned to mythical leaders of machine–breakers. This time they were in the form of „Captain Swing‟, that head of the eponymous rural agitation of the early 1830s.

  • The Revolt of the Fields in East Anglia 4/- 50 (Alf Peacock)
    I N M E M O R I A who has been Secretary of the History Group of the Communist Party for several years, died on Tuesday, 19th April. Without his lively interest and constant practical help OUR HISTORY would not have appeared, nor would the other activities of the History Group have taken place. He was typical of the best in the British working-class, a lifelong Communist, educated by the Communist Party and by his own wide experiences and self-study. In recent years he had been responsible for many developments in the educational and cultural work of the Party. His vast knowledge of people and his deep humanism, was always at the service of professional and specialist groups. His modesty was an example to all who worked with him; it cloaked but did not conceal from the perceptive a penetrating mind and considerable learning. We shall miss him greatly,: His monument is in the developing influence of Marxist ideas in many varied aspects of our culture. Page One FOREWORD Mr. Peacock's "Bread or Blood" (Gollancz, 1965) did not receive the attention which it deserved. We suspect because its combination of massive documentation in the local press and local records with unwavering sympathy for the cause of the exploited and oppressed made the academic and reviewing establishment uneasy. Mr. Peacock has now turned his attention from the 'agrarian riots in East Anglia in 1816' to 'the agricultural trade unionism of the 1870s' in the same area. (l) We are pleased to be able to publish this study, although Mr.

Roger Louis Based on archival work in England, Scotland, the United States, Canada and Australia, my dissertation expands the traditional purview of diplomatic history into the international dimensions of the social and cultural realms. My study treats doomed attempts to reconstruct previously-held notions of hierarchy and deference as encapsulated in the Empire Settlement Act (ESA) in the wake of the dramatic changes to the world order resulting from World War I. To counter the emergence of Japan as a world power, under the auspices of the ESA, British Columbia and Western Australia, the two most distant outposts of the “white” British Empire in the Pacific, imported poor Celtic farmers and militiamen from northern Scotland in an attempt to retain their iv “British” identity, which they felt was threatened by Japan on the one hand, the Japanese in their midst on another, and local “nationalisms” on a third.
