Neighbours, Distrust, and the State

What the Poorer Working Class in Britain Felt about Government and Each Other, 1860s to 1930s

Beschreibung

Neighbours, Distrust, and the State shows that in the past, just like now, many poor people 'wanted something done' by government in their communities, examining how they thought about such things as the role of the police, compulsory schooling, housing estates, and other state provisions.

Autor

Now retired from the University of Oxford, after a teaching career in the UK and Australia, Marc Brodie has worked and published extensively on the political ideas of the poorer working class in Britain. He is the author of the Politics of the Poor: The East End of London 1885-1914 (OUP, 2004), described by one reviewer as 'a brilliant attempt to understand the "personal" in the "political"'. He lives in Oxford.
