Historical Studies in Ethnicity, Migration and Diaspora: Some New Directions
The emergence of British fascism in the early 1920s was a response to perceived, related external and internal threats to the United Kingdom and its Empire. From 1921, Ireland, in alliance with international communism, was seen to threaten to further constitutional upheaval. The literature on British fascism, however, has traditionally accorded relatively little attention to Ireland, though that is now changing. This paper, focusing on Rotha Lint…
Sporting Nationalisms: Identity, Ethnicity, Immigration and Assimilation
This volume examines the ways in which sport shapes the experiences of various immigrant and minority groups and, in particular, looks at the relationship between sport, ethnic identity and ethnic relations. The articles in this volume are concerned primarily with British, American and Australian sporting traditions and the themes covered include the consolidation of ethnic identity in host societies through participation immigrant sports and exc…
Gypsy Identities 1500-2000
Gypsies have lived in England since the early sixteenth century, yet considerable confusion and disagreement remain over the precise identity of the group. The question 'Who are the Gypsies?' is still asked and the debates about the positioning and permanence of the boundary between Gypsy and non-Gypsy are contested as fiercely today as at any time before.This study locates these debates in their historical perspective, tracing the origins and re…

Egyptians and vagabonds: Representations of the gypsy in early modern official and rogue literature’
From the time of the Gypsies’ first appearance in England in the early sixteenth century they have excited the attention of legislators, playwrights, novelists, artists, evangelists and a diverse body of writers devoted to the academic study of the group. Inevitably this has generated a wide and varied body of literature in which Gypsies feature as main or subsidiary characters. From the pens and paintbrushes of these non‐Gypsies have emerged som…

Rescued from the shadows of exile: Nellie driver, autobiography and the British union of fascists
The article critically uses the unpublished memoirs of Nellie Driver, Woman District Leader of the Nelson branch of the British Union of Fascists, in order to focus upon the nature of provincial Fascism in one of the main centres of Lancashires's textile industry and also to locate the experience of Fascist activity in the life of an individual. Autobiographies are shown to have both empirical and theoretical value to the historian by informing d…
Lorist, reformist and romanticist: The nineteenth‐century response to Gypsy‐travellers
Gypsy‐travellers have always occupied an uncertain and contradictory position in sedentary‐based societies. Although performing significant economic and social functions this contribution was more usually overshadowed by the points at which they clashed with the structures and ideologies of the dominant and ‘host’ society. In the nineteenth century the Gypsy‐travellers were popularly presented in two distinct ways: as a Romany race and as degener…
