Cet article retrace l’idéologie et les usages de la propagande britannique durant les premières années du plan de Colombo pour le développement coopératif économique en Asie du Sud et du Sud-Est. Au début des années 1950, les dirigeants britanniques espéraient que le plan de Colombo, via leur recours stratégique à la propagande, pourrait aider le Royaume-Uni à maintenir une influence en Asie durant la décolonisation et la Guerre froide.

A Cultural History of Shopping in the Age of Revolution And Empire
Shopping emerged as a special pleasure and problem during the period between the revolutionary upheavals of the late 18th century and the opening salvoes of the Great War. New shops, new products, new class and gender ideologies, new standards of comfort and hygiene, and rising living standards for some meant that people, especially women, spent more time shopping and engaging in consumer-oriented activities beyond the walls of the shop. At the s…

Matt Houlbrook. Prince of Tricksters
I suspect that it was very difficult for Matt Houlbrook to come up with a title for his compelling study of Netley Lucas. A figure who adopted dozens of names and several “careers,” Lucas was almost as difficult to find in the historical record as the Higgs boson has been for particle physicists. As Houlbrook makes clear in Prince of Tricksters: The Incredible True Story of Netley Lucas, Gentleman Crook, Lucas’s life story demonstrates the quanda…

Sacred and Useful Pleasures
This essay argues that the strict branch of the temperance movement helped create and spread an idea of a sober consumer culture in early Victorian Britain. It specifically examines the material and gustatory, political, and religious culture of the mass temperance tea parties that emerged in the 1830s and the 1840s. Supported by middle- and working-class followers, evangelicals, and liberals, the strict branch of the temperance movement insisted…

Imperial Possessions, Cultural Histories, and the Material Turn:Response Erika Rappaport (bio) What we might call the material turn in history—richly displayed at this year's NAVSA Conference, in several important recent publications, and in forthcoming journal issues—is not new. It is, indeed, a cliché to say that the Victorians themselves were fascinated by things. And it has been nearly two decades since Asa Briggs asked historians to contempl…
Packaging China
In 1826 the Quaker, abolitionist and parliamentary reformer John Horniman began selling tea in pre-weighed and sealed packages. Packet tea took some time to become established, but within a few decades this innovation secured Horniman’s position as a leader in the trade. By the 1880s the practice be
The Bombay Debt’
Between 1856 and 1861 Minnie Blane and her husband, Captain Archibald Wood, wrote dozens of letters from India to the Minnie's mother in England. These letters and those associated with a military investigation into the couple's relationship in the 1860s detail the connections between the breakdown of the East India Company's rule in India and Minnie Blane's marriage. In particular, this correspondence shows some of the ways in which bourgeois id…

Shopping for Identities
Consumer culture is ubiquitous; it has no certain historical origins and no clear social boundaries. In the United States, where consumer society was ostensibly invented as a way to wage the cold war, shopping is the number two leisure activity after watching television. Young Japanese women who arrive in the United States as exchange students list shopping as their number one hobby. Is shopping women's work or a form of leisure activity for the …
Shopping for Pleasure
In Shopping for Pleasure, Erika Rappaport reconstructs London's Victorian and Edwardian West End as an entertainment and retail center. In this neighborhood of stately homes, royal palaces, and spacious parks and squares, a dramatic transformation unfolded that ultimately changed the meaning of femininity and the lives of women, shaping their experience of modernity. Rappaport illuminates the various forces of the period that encouraged and disco…
The Halls of Temptation
On Guy Fawkes Day in 1876 an angry mob of retailers staged a charivari in the fashionable shopping promenade of Westbourne Grove in Bayswater. Their demonstration targeted William Whiteley, a linen-draper rapidly expanding his shop into London's first department store. With his recent addition of a meat and green grocery department, Mr. Whiteley "had made himself exceedingly distasteful" to the "provision dealers in the district." This distaste t…
