Liquid Materialities
The material that we call milk is a food that has been revered and ignored, respected and feared, in almost equal measure. This book is a history of attempts to bring it under control, manipulate its naturally variable composition and, in effect, redraw the boundaries between nature and society. In the name of quality, attempts were made to purify it of dirt and disease, and to impose norms about fat content, but these were always constrained by …

Mother's milk and infant death in Britain, circa 1900-1940
My contribution to this journal issue is to reconstruct the darker side of the most popular of infant foods. I will give a brief overview of contamination and disease in Britain's milk supply between 1880 and 1940, with particular reference to the impact upon infants. Not surprisingly, young children consumed a substantial proportion of market milk and, as a result, they seem to have suffered heavily from diseases such as bovine tuberculosis and …
A geography of the sex ratio in India / Une géographie du sex-ratio en Inde
A Geography of the Sex Ratio in India. The 1991 Census of India found that for every 1000 males there were only 927 females. This sex ratio shows that the country has one of the lowest proportions of girls and women in its population in the world. The paper seeks to explain why and also broadens the discussion by investigating the male/female balance in different regions, between the city and the countryside, and among scheduled castes and tribus

Where Angels Fear to Tread? Mapping Women and Men in India
The authors have produced the Atlas of Women and Men in India, using material from the 1991 Census, mainly at district level. The Atlas may be unacceptable to Indian geographers because it seeks to question the authority of numerical data and of maps, and to Western geographers because this is "mapping before we understand the process". The authors introduce maps of the sex ratio in India and explore through a map of changes in the sex ratio 1981…

White Poison? The Social Consequences of Milk Consumption, 1850–1930
This paper seeks to adduce evidence on the social consequences of milk consumption in the period 1850–1930. It is shown that the poor quality of supply partly resulted from the nature of the marketing system, with adulteration and the use of chemical preservatives as other factors. Local authority regulation and central government legislation were very slow in controlling the cleanliness of production and sale. Milk was heavily contaminated with …

Sophistication detected: or, the adulteration of the milk supply, 1850-1914 But the milk . . . should not pass unanalysed, the produce of faded cabbage leaves and sour draff, lowered with hot water, frothed with bruised snails; carried through the streets in open pails, exposed to foul risings discharged from doors and windows, spittle, snot, and tobacco quids, from foot-passengers; overflowings from mud carts, spatterings from coach wheels, dirt…

The spatial configuration of class solidarity in London's West End 1792–1939
For more than two hundred years after the Glorious Revolution, the British aristocracy gained control of ‘every aspect of government, both executive and legislative. They dominated the Cabinet, the highest ranks of the armed forces, the civil service and, to a lesser extent, the judiciary’. During the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries there was a shift in their centre of gravity from that of a rural elite, to a group whose influence was m…
