Photographic Iconoclasm
On 16 August 2017, the Mayor of Baltimore, Catherine Pugh, ordered the removal of a monument to Generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson from Wyman Park Dell, a public park in the centre of the city. With almost no prior notice and no definitive plan for their future, the figures were taken down overnight and moved to an unspecified location. In addition to the monument to Lee and Jackson, Pugh also ordered the removal of the Confederate Sold…
Denying the right to work. German trade regulation and anti-Gypsy policy 1871–1914
This article examines the role that a discriminatory application of the German Trade Code (Gewerbeordnung) played in the ‘Gypsy’ policy of the German Second Empire. It argues that the Code became central to the legalistic and bureaucratic form that their persecution assumed in this period, serving to criminalise the itinerant lifestyle of the Sinti and Roma and contributing greatly to their social and economic marginalisation
Internationalism, Peace, and Reconciliation
This article examines the close relationship that existed between the English and Welsh Youth Hostel Association ( YHA ) and the Deutsche Jugendherbergswerk ( DJH ), the German pioneer movement, between 1930 and 1950, a period in which the hostelling movement also emerged as a transnational organization. It emphasizes the importance of shared cultural values and the influence that the German DJH had on the YHA from its beginnings. It argues that …
Philosophy for Non-Philosophers

Woman's Work in the Service of Empire
The presence of single and also of married British women in overseas colonies, especially those employed by or married to men in the Colonial Service in the later colonial period, has been the subject of scholarly enquiry. Their lives, roles and values and their distinctive contribution, if any, to the development of empire and of its ending have been debated. Their gendered roles were usually subordinate in a masculine culture of empire, and esp…

Governor Sir John Field in St Helena
In the age of decolonisation, Whitehall generally accepted the case for political advancement even in small British colonies like St Helena judged too lacking in resources to become independent states, provided this could be granted without risk to good government. The previous experience of Sir John Field in West Africa and his sensitivity to UN expectations lay behind the democratic reforms he introduced, which by 1968 had established an electe…

Particularities of Persecution. The Policing of Gypsies in Saxony 1871–1914
This article identifies the mechanisms by which governments in the Saxon region sought to eradicate the lifestyle of travellers they labelled ‘Gypsies’ (Zigeuner). It argues that much of this policy rested on legislation that was already in place to regulate the itinerant poor, including both the restrictions governing itinerant trade and begging and vagrancy laws, but that the precise pattern of implementation for ‘Gypsies’ was nonetheless disti…
If an inhabitant attacks, wounds or kills a soldier, the whole village will be destroyed’
This paper discusses the significance of phrasebooks produced for soldiers who fought in the Great War. With particular reference to texts published in Germany, it argues that their historical importance lies in the manner in which they helped to transmit to soldiers expected norms of conduct for the engagement with civilian populations; that for German soldiers, the scenarios and dialogue of phrasebooks functioned as a kind of virtual-training, …

War of Words
This article explores the different ways in which soldiers in the First World War communicated with the enemy. Drawing, in particular, on accounts of capture and captivity recorded in interview with escaped and exchanged British prisoners of war, it argues that language was central to these experiences, and that a soldier’s ability to understand, and make himself understood, was often pivotal to the question of whether he survived or perished

The Homecoming Migrant
Substantial numbers of empire migrants, to all destinations, returned ‘home’. For some, including indentured and other non‐white migrants, return was the always‐intended outcome, especially if the accumulation of wealth had been their principal objective. The successful invested their gains in material goods and perhaps higher social status. But among homecoming migrants were the disappointed, including defeated ‘remittance men’, unlucky gold pro…

Monarchy and constructing identity in ‘British’ Gibraltar, c.1800 to the present
British Gibraltar began as a fortress, and royal coronations, jubilees and visits were initially celebrated in Gibraltar primarily by the British military and the colonial government. However, a substantial civilian population developed, to service the garrison and engage in trade. Sections of this civil community, not British-by-birth, increasingly demonstrated their loyalty to the crown on such royal occasions, in order to raise their status in…
Migrant Labour in the German Countryside
This article concerns social relations in the estate villages of northern Germany between 1890 and 1923. It focuses primarily on the strategies adopted by seasonal labourers from Russian Poland in their relations with estate managements. Using police and union reports, and the letters and accounts of the migrants themselves, it argues that seasonal workers cannot simply be viewed as exploited, passive victims of this phase of agricultural moderni…

The role of migration and settlement in the system's sustenance continued deep into the 20th century.
