Chamberlain, Houston Stewart (1855–1927)
A leading publicist of Wagnerism, H. S. Chamberlain, after 1900, became the most successful race popularizer in Central Europe. Heralded by the Nazis as a spiritual forerunner, his writings were underpinned by a racial vision that emphasized the dangers of miscegenation and viewed history as a titanic struggle between German or Aryan and Jew. His success illustrates the extent to which racial thinking pervaded the outlook of contemporaries.

This issue celebrates the fortieth anniversary of International Labor and Working-Class History . A relative youngster, it was a product of the second of two waves that resulted in the foundation of many labor history journals and societies. 1 The first wave, between roughly 1956 and 1962 included the Dutch-based International Review of Social History; 2 the Feltrinelli Institute's Annali in Italy ; Le mouvement social in France; Labor History in…
Civilians in Uniform”
The essay examines the British army's transformation from a small professional force into a mass conscript army between 1939 and 1945. Battlefield defeats and criticism of the nation's conduct of the war acted as a stimulus to reform in the early years. Examining such areas as officer selection, discipline, and the expansion of army education services (ABCA), the essay shows how the military adapted to the recruitment of millions of “civilians in…
Labor and the Military
The military and the working class have intersected in myriad ways, especially in the era of mass conscription. Millions of workers served in, fought in, and died in the armed services. They brought their political and cultural values into armies and their military experiences back into labor movements and working-class communities. Militaries have been large employers of civilians, on bases in home countries and abroad, directly and indirectly, …
Editors' Remarks
Observant readers of ILWCH will have already noticed some recent changes in the ranks of our editors. They reflect a larger goal of moving towards a periodic rotation which we believe is the best way to bring fresh ideas and approaches and wider regional expertise to the journal
Nights Underground in Darkest London
After the tragic events of September 11, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani at once saw parallels in the London Blitz, the German air campaign launched against the British capital between September 1940 and May 1941. In the early press conferences at Ground Zero he repeatedly compared the bravery and resourcefulness of New Yorkers and Londoners, their heightened sense of community forged by danger, and the surge of patriotism as a town and its population cam…

Signs of Crisis, Fin-de-Siècle Doldrums, of Middle Age
The New Labor History has, unexpectedly but inevitably, become middleaged. The mirror shows the same basic form, though more capacious and less taut than before. But the energy level is definitely lower; some of the enthusiasm is gone; newer, younger groups on the street have more “élan and purpose,” and are more fired up and politically engaged. There's pride in past achievements, of course, and plenty of consolation that the stuff now being tur…
Social Patriotism and the British Working Class
The study of patriotism and national identity, once left to the likes of Sir Arthur Bryant, has been rediscovered by the mainstream of British historians. One source of this change is the growing influence of anthropology and literary theory on the discipline, encouraging closer attention to ritual, myth, and language. Another is a renewed focus on the modern state and the mechanisms by which it “intervenes” in civil society
Perspectives on the Working-Class Family in Wartime Britain, 1939–1945
In the late 1940s the British people seemed preoccupied with family and children to an unprecedented degree. A similar revival of family life occurred in other European countries, testimony to the common legacy of the war years, during which private life had been broken apart by death, forced separations, constant anxiety, and unaccustomed privation. But the specific form of postwar familial ideology in Britain reflects the complex circumstances,…
