Content: After the First World War, Britain faced a number of challenges as it sought to adapt to domestic conditions of mass democracy whilst maintaining its position in the empire in the face of national independence movements. As politicians at home and abroad sought to legitimise their position, new efforts were made to conceptualise nationality and citizenship, with attempts to engage the public using mass media and greater emphasis on governing in the public interest. Brave New World reappraises the domestic and imperial history of Britain in the inter-war period, investigating how ‘nation building’ was given renewed impetus by the upheavals of the First World War. The essays in this collection address how new technologies and approaches to governance were used to forge new national identities both at home and in the empire, covering a wide range of issues from the representation of empire on film to the convergence of politics and ‘star culture’.

Content: In 1908 Ellen Wilkinson, a fiery adolescent from a working-class family in Manchester, was "the only girl who talks in school debates." By midcentury, Wilkinson had helped found Britain's Communist Party, earned a seat in Parliament, and become a renowned advocate for the poor and dispossessed at home and abroad. She was one of the first female delegates to the United Nations, and she played a central role in Britain's postwar Labour government. In Laura Beers's account of Wilkinson's remarkable life, we have a richly detailed portrait of a time when Left-leaning British men and women from a range of backgrounds sought to reshape domestic, imperial, and international affairs. Wilkinson is best remembered as the leader of the Jarrow Crusade, the 300-mile march of two hundred unemployed shipwrights and steel workers to petition the British government for assistance. But this was just one small part of Red Ellen's larger transnational fight for social justice. She was involved in a range of campaigns, from the quest for official recognition of the Spanish Republican government, to the fight for Indian independence, to the effort to smuggle Jewish refugees out of Germany. During Wilkinson's lifetime, many British radicals viewed themselves as members of an international socialist community, and some, like her, became involved in socialist, feminist, and pacifist movements that spanned the globe. By focusing on the extent to which Wilkinson's activism transcended Britain's borders, Red Ellen adjusts our perception of the British Left in the early twentieth century....

Content: Wenn heute die Fragilität der Demokratie wieder in den politischen Horizont rückt und von »gefährlichen Zeiten« für die Demokratie die Rede ist, lohnt sich ein Blick zurück auf die Zeit nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg. In vielen europäischen Gesellschaften wurde die Demokratie damals gleichzeitig zur Regierungs- und Lebensform, machte den Schritt vom politisch Neuen zur Normalität. Aber diese Normalität war nicht ohne Fragilität zu denken. Der Blick zurück eröffnet vor allem Einsichten in die erstaunliche Wandlungs- und Handlungsfähigkeit von Demokratien - sie überstanden auch extreme ökonomische und politische Krisen - aber auch in die Bedingungen für einen Zusammenbruch. Historiker_innen aus zahlreichen europäischen Ländern und aus Amerika befassen sich mit Kernfragen der vergleichenden Demokratieforschung: mit der gesellschaftlichen Akzeptanz der Demokratie, der Vielfalt ihrer Ausdrucksformen in Politik und Alltagsleben oder der Ausbildung eines dauerhaften demokratischen Erwartungshorizonts. Sie gehen der Frage nach, wie die Demokratie selbstverständlich wurde und es auch in existenziellen Krisen blieb - und warum sie dennoch in einigen Fällen zerstört wurde

Note: Die moderne Demokratie ist noch eine junge Erfindung. Sie war das politisch Neue, das Charakteristische und Dynamische des Zeitalters nach dem ersten Weltkrieg. In diesen Jahrzehnten wurde Demokratie zur Normalität, zur umfassenden Regierungs- und Lebensform, deren Ablösung undenkbar schien. Und diese Entwicklung fand in vielen, vor allem in europäischen Gesellschaften gleichzeitig statt. Historikerinnen und Historiker aus zahlreichen europäischen Ländern und aus Amerika befassen sich mit Kernfragen der vergleichenden Demokratieforschung: mit der gesellschaftlichen Akzeptanz der Demokratie, der Vielfalt ihrer Ausdrucksformen in Politik und Alltagsleben oder in der Ausbildung eines dauerhaft demokratischen Erwartungshorizonts. Sie gehen der Frage nach, wie die Demokratie selbstverständlich wurde und es auch in existenziellen Krisen blieb - und warum sie dennoch in einigen Fällen zerstört wurde. In der Zusammenschau werden die transnationalen Gemeinsamkeiten und Gleichzeitigkeiten sichtbar, aber auch dir durch die nationalen Kontexte bedingten Unterschiede. Demokratie erweist sich dabei als doppelgesichtig, geprägt von Instabilität als auch von Stabilität. Wenn heute die Fragilität der Demokratie wieder in den politischen Horizont rückt und von »gefährlichen Zeiten« für Demokratie die Rede ist - dann bietet der Blick zurück in die Epoche, in der die Demokratie zur Normalität wurde, aber diese Normalität nicht ohne Fragilität zu denken war, erstaunliche Erkenntnisse auch für die heutige Zeit. - Demokratie ist stets doppelgesichtig, geprägt sowohl von Instabilität als auch von Stabilität. Heute ist es die Fragilität, die mit der Rede von der bedrohten Demokratie in den politischen Vordergrund rückt. Der Blick zurück in die Epoche, in der die Demokratie das politisch Neue war und zur Normalität wurde, als sie in vielen europäischen Gesellschaften gleichzeitig zur Regierungs- und Lebensform wurde, führt nicht
