Content: "Between 1945 and the new century millions of women, including mothers and migrants, joined the labour force. These changes are brought to life through the stories of migrant women, working in factories and hospitals, banks, care homes, shops and universities over a period of 60 years. Migrant Women's Voices is an autobiography of the post-war period as Britain became a multi-cultural society and waged work the norm for most women. McDowell illustrates the shift in migration patterns as post-imperial migrants to the UK replaced the immediate post-war pattern of migrants from war-torn Europe and who were then themselves joined by migrants from an increasingly diverse range of countries as the 20th century drew to a close."--Bloomsbury Publishing

Series Statement: Studies in imperialism

Content: Popular culture is invariably a vehicle for the dominant ideas of its age. Never was this more true than in the late-19th and early 20th centuries, when it reflected the nationalist and imperialist ideologies current throughout Europe. This text examines the various media through which nationalist ideas were conveyed in late-Victorian and Edwardian times - in the theatre, "ethnic" shows, juvenile literature, education and the iconography of popular art. Several chapters look beyond World War I, when the most popular media, cinema and broadcasting, continued to convey an essentially late-19th-century world view, while government agencies like the Empire Marketing Board sought to convince the public of the economic value of empire. Youth organizations, which had propagated imperialist and militarist attitudes before the war, struggled to adapt to the new internationalist climate

Series Statement: Studies in imperialism

Content: Exhibiting the empire considers how a whole range of cultural products – from paintings, prints, photographs, panoramas and ‘popular’ texts to ephemera, newspapers and the press, theatre and music, exhibitions, institutions and architecture – were used to record, celebrate and question the development of the British Empire. It represents a significant and original contribution to our understanding of the relationship between culture and empire. Written by leading scholars from a range of disciplinary backgrounds, individual chapters bring fresh perspectives to the interpretation of media, material culture and display, and their interaction with history. Taken together, this collection suggests that the history of empire needs to be, in part at least, a history of display and of reception. This book will be essential reading for scholars and students interested in British history, the history of empire, art history and the history of museums and collecting

Content: Examines various ways in which the Empire was displayed in Britain between the eighteenth and early twentieth centuries, looking at music, satirical prints, exploration, battles and even nascent nationalism

Series Statement: Studies in imperialism

Content: Between 1800 and 1900 popular perceptions of the military underwent a significant transformation. The reputation of the 'rapacious and licentious soldiery' was replaced by a widerspread enthusiasm for the soldier as patriot and hero, as personified in Kipling's 'Tommy Atkins'. This more positive attitude towards the military was also accompanied by greater popular support for warfare itself. This book examines the military and cultural background to the shift in popular reactions and traces the manner in which new values were inculcated through a variety of media. 'Popular imperialism and the military' demonstrates forcefully how changing attitudes towards the military were inseparably bound up with the dominant ethos of imperialism. Perceptions of warfare became shaped by the predominantly colonial location of British war in the late nineteenth century, with these 'small wars' against 'unequal' foes being greeted by contemporaries with heightened enthusiasm and greater confidence in success. This ideological current of imperialism, together with Social Darwinian thought and the Victorian rediscovery of military chivalry combined to transform the relationship between war and society. Changing ideologies did not develop spontaneously, however, and this volume traces the ways in which new images were conveyed to the public through popular culture. The chapters cover media as diverse as music and ceremony, the music hall, juvenile literature, military art, open-air theatrical displays and RAF pageants. The contributors show how these media established a tradition that was to survive until the mid-twentieth century. This inter-disciplinary study will appeal to students and specialists interested in imperial history, literary and cultural studies and military history

Series Statement: Studies in imperialism

Content: Museums and Empire is the first book to examine the origins and development of museums in six major regions if the British Empire in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It analyses museum histories in thirteen major centres in Canada, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, India and South-East Asia, setting them into the economic and social contexts of the cities and colonies in which they were located. Written in a lively and informative style, it also touches upon the history of many other museums in Britain and other territories of the Empire. A number of key themes emerge from its pages; the development of elites within colonial towns and cities; the emergence of the full range of cultural institutions associated with this; and the reception and modification of the key scientific ideas of the age. It will be essential reading for students and academics concerned with museum studies and imperial history and to a wider public devoted to the cause of museums and heritage

Series Statement: Studies in imperialism

Content: Imperial studies have recently moved in new and exciting directions, embracing the history of the natural sciences, geography, medicine and conservation. This collection of essays illustrates the remarkable work currently being undertaken in these areas. Western science, medicine, geographical ideas and environmental assumptions were all vital to the creation of the imperial world system, so important in understanding the modern world order. The contributors to this volume illustrate strikingly new approaches to the study of conservation, botany, geology, economic geography, state scientific endeavour, and entomological and medical research in relation to the imperial rule of both Britain and France. In his introduction the editor argues that scientific, medical and environmental issues are central to a full understanding of imperialism, particularly in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The collection should appeal to scholars and students concerned with historical geography, the history of science, medicine, and environmental issues, as well as imperialism itself

Series Statement: Studies in imperialism

Content: This study assesses the significance of the hunting cult as a major element of the imperial experience in Africa and Asia. Through a study of the game laws and the beginnings of conservation in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the author demonstrates the racial inequalities which existed between Europeans and indigenous hunters. Africans were denied access to game, and the development of game reserves and national parks accelerated this process. Indigenous hunters in Africa and India were turned into poachers and only Europeans were permitted to hunt. In India, the hunting of animals became the chief recreation of military officers and civilian officials, a source of display and a symbolic dominance of the environment. Imperial hunting fed the natural history craze of the day and many hunters collected trophies and specimens for private and public collections as well as contributing to hunting literature. John MacKenzie also connects hunting and game conservation to concepts of masculinity, attitudes towards diet, and the development of western tourism

Series Statement: Studies in imperialism

Content: It has been said that the British Empire, on which the sun never set, meant little to the man in the street. Apart from the jingoist eruptions at the death of Gordon or the relief of Mafeking he remained stonily indifferent to the imperial destiny that beckoned his rulers so alluringly. Strange, then that for three-quarters of a century it was scarcely possible to buy a bar of soap or a tin of biscuits without being reminded of the idea of Empire. Packaging, postcards, music hall, cinema, boy's stories and school books, exhibitions and parades, all conveyed the message that Empire was an adventure and an ennobling responsibility. Army and navy were a sure shield for the mother country and the subject peoples alike. Boys' brigades and Scouts stiffened the backbone of youth who flocked to join. In this illuminating study John M. Mackenzie explores the manifestations of the imperial idea, from the trappings of royalty through writers like G. A. Henty to the humble cigarette card. He shows that it was so powerful and pervasive that it outlived the passing of Empire itself and, as events such as the Falklands 'adventure' showed, the embers continue to smoulder

Content: Matthew McCormack re-examines the debates on the 18th-century militia, and argues that military reform was informed and driven by concerns about politics, nationalism, and gender, taking examples from areas of military life such as physical training, masculine honour, material culture, self-identity, and citizenship.
