Sometimes antagonistic, sometimes ardently sympathetic
Most sociological and anthropological studies of UK race relations produced in 1950s stress the wide spectrum of British reactions to new migrants. Yet, recent historians have tended to focus on the racism and xenophobia of the research and period, on the ‘antagonisms’. The ‘ardently sympathetic’ responses referred to by Ruth Glass in 1960, which were evident also in 1950s fiction, film and radical political movements, have often been ignored or …

Visceral Cosmopolitanism
Cultural theorist Mica Nava makes an original and significant contribution to the study of cosmopolitanism by exploring everyday English urban cosmopolitanism and foregrounding the gendered, imaginative and empathetic aspects of positive engagement with cultural and racial difference. By looking at a wide range of texts, events and biographical narratives, she traces cosmopolitanism from its marginal status at the beginning of the twentieth centu…
Gender and Racial Others in Postwar Britain
Caryl Phillips, the respected black British Caribbean novelist and political essayist, argued in 2004 that most white British writers of fiction and drama of the 1950s and early 1960s ignored questions of race and the growing presence in the UK of new migrants from the colonies and the Commonwealth. Even where the newcomers were acknowledged, it was difficult, according to Phillips, for a white English writer to engage imaginatively with a black …
Cosmopolitan Modernity
Debates about cosmopolitanism in the spheres of political philosophy, sociology and postcolonial criticism have on the whole ignored specific histories of the cosmopolitan imagination and its vernacular expressions in everyday life. This article draws on aspects of the urban and often feminized worlds of entertainment, commerce, the arts and the emotions in metropolitan England during the first decades of the 20th century, in which an interest in…

The Cosmopolitanism of Commerce and the Allure of Difference
This article engages with postcolonial theorizations of orientalism and challenges assumptions about the pervasiveness of imperial ideologies in Britain at the beginning of the century by exploring the adherence of Selfridges department store to the principle of ‘cosmopolitanism’. The aesthetic and libidinal economy of this popular modernist commercial formation, and the distinctive positioning of women consumers within it, is investigated in rel…

Consumerism reconsidered
Consumerism has become a powerful and evocative symbol of contemporary \ncapitalism and the modern Western world. Indeed, in the climate of 1991, faced by the crisis of the environment and the radical transformations in Eastern Europe, it is perhaps the most resonant symbol of all. Highly visible, its \nimagery permeates the physical and cultural territories it occupies. Modern \nidentities and imaginations are knotted inextricably to it. This mu…

Gender and Education
The women's liberation movement has always recognized schooling as a significant site in the socialization process of boys and girls into their appropriate gender roles. Over the last dozen years a number of studies have been carried out, particularly in the United States, demonstrating different aspects of this process. Attention has been drawn to the unequal provision for girls, as well as to the more subtle ways in which sex-stereotyping takes…
