English Working–Class Radicalism and the Irish, 1815–50
A lively controversy is now developing about the extent of the Irish presence in English popular radicalism in the first half of the nineteenth century. The recent call for a reassessment of Irish involvement in English protest is the product of a new approach to the study of popular movements and forms an integral part of a wider re-evaluation of the strength of the working-class challenge in early industrial England. Traditional studies, based …
J effrey H ill . Learie Constantine and Race Relations in Britain and the Empire
By no means forgotten after his sporting days were over, Learie Constantine, a famous Black cricketer, progressed to heightened levels of prosperity and public esteem. Having been propelled to celebrity status by his remarkable fielding skills and all-round prowess on the cricket pitch, he continued to traverse geographical, social, cultural, and racial boundaries within and across the British Empire. Trinidad born and bred—his mother and father …

Urban Redevelopment and Modernity in Liverpool and Manchester, 1918–39, by Charlotte Wildman
In a spirited re-reading of regional modernity, Charlotte Wildman dispenses with traditional images of decay, depression and the dole forever associated with inter-war Liverpool and Manchester. Without denying the economic, social and political turbulence of the times, Wildman shows how local politicians, business figures and religious leaders responded to adversity in dynamic and innovative ways. Under their aegis, and with the support of the lo…

Before the Windrush: Race Relations in 20th-Century Liverpool
Based on extensive primary sources, this study brings historical perspective and context to debate about race and immigration in Britain. The focus is on Liverpool and its pioneer but problematic race relations as the once proud Edwardian cosmopolitan ‘second city of empire’ transmogrified into the shock city of post-colonial, post-industrial Britain. As the gateway of empire, the great seaport of Liverpool attracted significant numbers of ‘colou…
Hub and Diaspora: Liverpool and Transnational Labour
As the human and commercial entrepot linking the old world and the new, nineteenth-century Liverpool is an important laboratory for historical investigation of transnational mobility, networks, and developments. The paper pays particular attention to the increasing number of Irish arrivals who chose to remain in this port of entry, stigmatized at the time (and since) as a kind of under-class, unable, unwilling, or unsuited to take advantage of op…
Irish, Catholic and Scouse: The History of the Liverpool-Irish, 1800-1940
Irish, Catholic and Scouse: The History of the Liverpool-Irish, 1800-1940
Irish, Catholic and Scouse highlights the complex interplay of cultural and structural factors experienced by the most significant ethnic group in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century pre-multicultural Britain: the Irish in Liverpool. Drawing upon new approaches to our understanding of diasporas, this study emphasises the role of ethnic agency as Catholic migrants and their descendants made Irishness their own. Belchem looks in detail at those…
Merseypride: Essays in Liverpool Exceptionalism
Liverpool defies historical categorization. Located at the intersection of competing cultural, economic, and geo-political formations, it stands outside the main narrative frameworks of modern British history. What was it that established Liverpool as different or apart? In exploring this proverbial exceptionalism, the chapters in this book show how a sense of apartness has always been crucial to Liverpool's identity. While repudiated by some as …

Priests, Publicans and the Irish Poor: Ethnic Enterprise and Migrant Networks in Mid-Nineteenth-Century Liverpool
Part of the outreach mission of one of the earliest Catholic parishes in Irish Liverpool, the St Patrick's Society developed into one of the largest collecting societies in Victorian Britain, offering burial benefit to tens of thousands of poor Irish migrants beyond the reach of organised labour or industrial insurance. Growth soon led to scandal and litigation, revealing a number of fault lines within the migrant community. Catholic clergy withd…

The Little Manx Nation: Antiquarianism, Ethnic Identity, and Home Rule Politics in the Isle of Man, 1880–1918
As imperial pride flourished in the racial discourse of late Victorian British politics, ethnic revival and Celtic nationalism also gained purchase and resonance. These complex and seemingly competing issues of identity extended beyond the “four nations” of the United Kingdom to the Isle of Man, a crown dependency constitutionally outside the United Kingdom but at the very center of the British Isles. In this “land of home rule,” adrift in the Ir…

Freedom and Friendship to Ireland”: Ribbonism in Early Nineteenth-Century Liverpool
The paper examines the role of “nationalist” secret societies among the rapidly growing Irish community in Britain in the 1830s and 1840s. The main port of entry, Liverpool occupied a pivotal role as the two main “Ribbon” societies developed secret networks to provide migrant members with political sanctuary and a range of “tramping” benefits. Through its welfare provision, offered irrespective of skill or trade, Ribbonism engendered a sense of i…

Republican spirit and military science: The ‘Irish brigade’ and Irish-American nationalism in 1848
Little has been written of the optimism and excitement among Irish immigrants and other Americans during the revolutionary months of 1848, the European ‘springtime of the peoples’. Studies of Irish-American nationalism hasten over the mobilisation of funds and arms to register the impact of failure. The ignominious collapse of the Young Ireland rising in Widow McCormack’s cabbage patch was to compel Irish-Americans to reconstruct their identity, …

Chartist Informers in Australia: The Nemesis of Thomas Powell
In an earlier article I raised the question of how informers who had been forced to emigrate fared in their new lands.1 Evidence has come to hand which suggests that in one dramatic instance at least anonymity and refuge could not be guaranteed even on the other side of the world.2 Thomas Powell, the most infamous Chartist 'spy', chose South Australia as his bolt-hole after his prominent role in the Chartist trials of 1848 during which, as F.

This book provides the reader with a wide-ranging social history of the English working class from 1750 to 1900, and brings a new perspective to historical debate about the industrial revolution and the making of the English working class. The study is divided into three sections ranging from a consideration of the classic industrial revolution, 1750-1850, through the mid-Victorian boom, 1850-1875, to the late-Victorian Great Depression of 1875-1…
