‘Free at last!’
‘Free at last!’ The words come from Reverend Martin Luther King’s famous speech ‘I have a dream’ from August 1963.2 The speech and those words evocate all what the sixties stand for – but also some of the dilemmas and paradoxes of the historiography of the period. The religious dimension in the speech is evident. However, there is virtually no room for religion in the general (political, social and cultural) historiography of the 1960s,3 and inso…
The ‘European’ in the Boxer Movement
At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Boxer movement broke out in China. European countries were the main powers involved in the intervention and suppression of the Boxer movement. In their cooperation, European countries displayed unconscious European identity. This paper analyzes under which circumstances did Europeans use the ‘European’ instead of nationality? What does the identity ‘European’ entail? And what unites them together as …
The EC/EU between the Art of Forgetting and the Palimpsest of Empire
The history of European integration is usually presented as both a peace project and an economic endeavour. What is largely ignored is that it also had a colonial dimension. This article first recalls this largely forgotten history, asking why and how it could be erased from memory. It then explores ways in which the EU and its predecessors constituted a new postcolonial identity and how colonial legacies somehow reappear in policies and represen…

Epilogue
WW II signalled the end the European colonial era, although it took a decade or more before Europeans realized how much the world had changed. Italy lost its colonial possessions: Libya and Ethiopia became independent, while Eritrea, at first occupied by the British, was finally invaded by Ethiopia. Italian Somaliland, also conquered by the British, became a Trusteeship of the UN but under Italian administration, before gaining independence toget…
Imagining European Unity since 1000 AD
European unity is a dream that has appealed to the imagination since the Middle Ages. Its motives have varied from a longing for peace to a deep-rooted abhorrence of diversity, as well as a yearning t
Formations of European Modernity. Cosmopolitanism, Eurocentrism and the Uses of History
InFormations of European Modernity, Gerard Delanty, one of the foremost social theoreticians of Europe, offers a historical-sociological assessment of the idea of Europe as the development of modernity from a cosmopolitan perspective. With this book, based upon a broad and impressive discussion of sociological and historical literature, Delanty somewhat comes back from his earlier constructivist approach in favour of a theory that emphasizes the …
Christian Homes
Gender and Christianity in Modern Europe
Since the 1970s the feminization thesis has become a powerful trope in the rewriting of the social history of Christendom. However, this ‘thesis' has triggered some vehement debates, given that men have continued to dominate the churches, which have reacted to the association of religion and femininity by explicitly focusing their appeal to men. The authors critically reflect upon the use of concepts like feminization and masculinization in relat…

A Century of International Trade Unionism
The International Confederation of Free Trade Unions. [By] Anthony Carew, Michel Dreyfus, Geert Van Goethem [and] Rebecca Gumbrell-McCormick. Marcel van der Linden (Ed.) [International and Comparative Social History, vol. 3.] Peter Lang, Bern [etc.] 2000. 624 pp. S.fr. 117.00; DM 147.00; S 975.00
The Interwar Origins of International Labour's European Commitment (1919–1934)
The article argues that the democratic international trade union federations developed a keen interest in European economic co-operation after 1922, at first rejecting economic nationalism and advocating free trade; then, from the late 1920s onwards, stressing the need for an organised European economy. Remarkably, however, when discussing social issues, unions emphasised the national or universal level, as opposed to the regional one
