Refugee Children and the Emotional Cost of Internationalism in Interwar Britain
This article explores the complexity surrounding the politics and emotions of internationalism and humanitarian work in interwar Britain by using as a lens the public and official responses to assisting “refugee children.” Analysis of British responses to refugee emergencies after the First World War, the Spanish Civil War, and the Nazi persecution of Jews and other minorities suggests that attitudes shifted dramatically between the arrival of Ba…
L ee J ackson . Palaces of Pleasure: From Music Halls to the Seaside to Football, How the Victorians Invited Mass Entertainment
Lee Jackson’s Palaces of Pleasure is a fascinating history of the evolution of social pleasures into profitable mass entertainment in the nineteenth century.

Most studies on this subject are confined to Britain, or to a single other colon…

As part of the infrastructure of war, the hostels were built to counter problems of transportation to and from remotely situated armament and tank factories. As a result, the hostels were hastily built close to the factories to decrease the amount of time spent on public transportation and to giv…
