  • The Women's Liberation Movement and the Politics of Class in Britain

    Martin PughARTICLEThe Journal of Modern History2023

  • Britain and Islam

    Open AccessMartin PughBOOKBritain and Islam2019

    In this broad yet sympathetic survey — ranging from the Crusades to the modern day — this book explores the social, political, and cultural encounters between Britain and Islam. The book looks, for instance, at how reactions against the Crusades led to Anglo-Muslim collaboration under the Tudors, at how Britain posed as defender of Islam in the Victorian period, and at her role in rearranging the Muslim world after 1918. It argues that, contrary …

  • Britain and its Empire

    Martin Pugh, R J B BosworthBOOKThe Oxford Handbook Of Fascism2012

    Traditionally, fascism in Britain has been seen in fairly narrow terms as a phenomenon of the 1930s associated with Sir Oswald Mosley and the British Union of Fascists (BUF). This approach to the subject made it easy to account for the fortunes of fascism as a movement essentially marginal to British society and thus of limited significance. The Union Movement that Mosley founded in 1948 campaigned for imperial control of Africa, a united Europe,…

  • Pacifists, Patriots and the Vote

    Martin PughARTICLEThe English Historical Review2009

    This book offers a detailed account of how the First World War divided the non-militant leaders of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies, involved them in patriotic war work, led some critics of war to break away to join other women's pressure groups (thereby weakening support for the electoral pact with the Labour Party), and left the ‘patriots’ in charge when the women's parliamentary vote was achieved in 1918. Although the book is e…

  • Hurrah For The Blackshirts

    Martin PughBOOKHurrah for the Blackshirts!2005

    Britain is celebrated for having avoided the extremism, political violence and instability that blighted many European countries between the two world wars. But her success was a closer thing than has been realized. Disillusionment with parliamentary democracy, outbreaks of fascist violence and fears of communist subversion in industry and the Empire ran through the entire period. Fascist organizations may have failed to attract the support they …

  • The National Government, the British Union of Fascists and the Olympia debate

    Open AccessMartin PughARTICLEHistorical Research2005References: 3

    This article reasserts the ‘revisionist’ view of responses to fascist violence at Olympia in 1934. It suggests that, as more collections of private papers become available, the close relations between Conservative politicians and fascist organizations have become increasingly clear. It argues that the relaxed attitude towards fascist methods is understandable in the context of long-term reliance on fascist stewarding by Tory politicians, and that…

  • Lancashire, Cotton, and Indian Reform

    Martin PughARTICLETwentieth Century British History2004Cited by: 3

    In re-examining the struggle within the Conservative Party over Indian constitutional reform in the face of pressure from Lancashire textile interests, this article argues that the India rebels never really exploited the economic grievances of Lancashire. It emphasizes that Tory MPs could be restrained by their local organizations as much as by pressure at Westminster; and it suggests that the underlying threat to them lay in the championship of …

  • Drowning not Waving

    Martin PughARTICLEJournal of Refugee Studies2004Cited by: 29

    Boat people, whether refugees or migrants, are protected by special provisions in custom and law relating to safety and rescue at sea. At the same time, the governments of coastal states have expressed concern about the arrival of boat people and have been robust in depicting and treating them as a threat. The questions addressed in this article are: how and why have boat people been regarded as a threat, and what challenges does this treatment p…

  • The March of the Women

    Martin PughBOOKThe March of the Women2002

    This book is the first comprehensive study of the campaign for women's suffrage to appear for over thirty years. It challenges the widely-held assumption that the Victorian suffragists underwent a decline during the 1890s, and sets out to prove that, on the contrary, they had effectively won the argument about votes for women by 1900. To support this view the author demonstrates how ineffective Anti-Suffragism was during this period; cites the im…

  • The Rise of Labour and the Political Culture of Conservatism, 1890–1945

    Open AccessMartin PughARTICLEHistory2002Cited by: 2

    Growing dissatisfaction among scholars over a class–based approach to electoral change has exacerbated the problem of finding explanations for the rise of the Labour Party in Britain. This article is intended to open the way to a more satisfying overall treatment by altering the perspective on the subject. It argues for the necessity of taking full account, not simply of the Liberal and socialist traditions in the Labour movement, but of Labour’s…

  • Working-Class Experience and State Social Welfare, 1908–1914

    Open AccessMartin PughARTICLEThe Historical Journal2002Cited by: 4

    The debate over the popularity or otherwise of state social reform has been inhibited by the lack of contemporary sources. This article seeks to advance our understanding of working-class experience of the 1908 pensions scheme by utilizing the material in Post Office archives and the local press. It argues that the scheme was implemented in ways calculated to reassure the beneficiaries, that it promoted the independence of the elderly, that it re…
