  • Rebuilding ministry in UK state schools

    Open AccessSarah E Holme, David Howell et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Religious…2024

    This exploratory study investigated the disruption to schools ministry caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Perspectives of church leaders, Christian parents, Christian teachers and organisations involved in schools ministry were consulted using online surveys, interviews and focus groups, to examine how schools ministry could be rebuilt, incorporating reflective practice and hence bringing positive change. The severe impact of extensive school closu…

  • The British Home Front and the First World War

    Open AccessC Pennell, Heather Jones et al.BOOKBritish Home Front and the First…2023

    The First World War required the mobilisation of entire societies, regardless of age or gender. The phrase 'home front' was itself a product of the war with parts of Britain literally a war front, coming under enemy attack from the sea and increasingly the air. However, the home front also conveyed the war's impact on almost every aspect of British life, economic, social and domestic. In the fullest account to-date, leading historians show how th…

  • Expanding Heritage Horizons through the Cheltenham

    Open AccessDavid HowellARTICLEPresent Pasts2020

    This article considers the Cheltenham: Diaspora project, an exploration and promotion of migration heritage narratives in Cheltenham (UK). Cheltenham has a diverse history, but heritage provision in the locality has been consistently concentrated on 18th and 19th century Regency architecture. This has led to a marginalisation of non-elite heritage narratives, with no permanent platform for culturally diverse heritage themes in the region. In addi…

  • The Great Labour Unrest

    Open AccessDavid HowellARTICLEThe English Historical Review2018

    This meticulously researched and carefully crafted book makes a significant contribution to the literature on the prospects for Edwardian Liberalism and for Labour as an independent force. Lewis Mates offers his study as building on and revising Duncan Tanner’s seminal work, Political Change and the Labour Party 1900–18. He also builds on Roy Gregory’s pioneering work, The Miners in British Politics 1906–14. He focuses on the Durham coalfield and…

  • Alternatives to State-Socialism in Britain

    Open AccessDavid HowellARTICLETwentieth Century British History2017

    This collection excavates ‘Other Worlds of Labour’ seeking to elucidate a pluralist liberal tradition that offered an alternative to state-socialism. The editors claim that this tradition has deep roots in popular associational movements and has demonstrated both change and continuity through the ‘short twentieth century’ of British state collectivism, 1918–79. The text is a sequel to Eugenio Biagini and Alastair Reid's collection Currents of Rad…

  • Mosley and British Politics 1918–32

    Open AccessDavid HowellBOOKMosley and British Politics 1918-322015

  • Creativities in Contexts

    David HowellARTICLEContemporary British History2014References: 7

    Edward Thompson's The Making of the English Working Class (London: Gollancz, 1963) was a creative work in both substance and methodology. The insistence on recovering the neglected experience of a class through history from below was complemented by a methodological commitment. The latter agenda was elaborated briefly and assertively in the Preface and subsequently practised throughout the richly detailed text. Actors must be understood in contex…

  • Attitudes Towards Migrant Workers in the GCC

    Abdoulaye Diop, Mark Tessler et al.ARTICLEJournal of Arabian Studies2012

    With the majority of Qatar’s total population made up of foreigners (high-skilled and low-skilled migrant workers), Qatari nationals may feel that there are significant challenges for their society; despite the absence of employment competition, this may lead many Qataris to see problems as well as benefits in the presence of these migrant workers in their country. Using a split-sample technique, Qataris’ attitudes towards these foreigners were a…

  • Arthur Horner

    David HowellARTICLETwentieth Century British History2011

    Nina Fishman’s posthumously published biography of Arthur Horner, the South Wales miners’ leader and Communist who became General Secretary of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM), was a long time in the making. Despite some inaccuracies that may reflect the difficult circumstances of its final preparation, the resulting text justifies this lengthy gestation. It is constructed meticulously out of the extensive exploration of diverse archives r…

  • The Sheik … A Valentino in Real Life

    David HowellARTICLEContemporary British History2009

    Sir Oswald Mosley's New Party initiative was shaped significantly by his experiences in the Labour Party. These experiences are situated within the complexities of that party's culture. The degree to which Mosley's political identity can be regarded as distinctive within this culture is assessed. This helps to elucidate the strengths and limitations of his appeal to the diverse elements within the party
