Political Activism : Socialist History 32 (9781854891693)



Lifting the lid on four different political organizations—the Communist Party, the Labour Party, the Cooperative movement, and the British Union of Fascists—this edition of Socialist History Journal examines the Representation of the People Act in order to celebrate, analyze, and assess the experiences of the rank and file. The Fourth Reform Act, as it was otherwise known, was thought to bring about an age of mass democratic politics in Britain and with the widening of the franchise to include all men over 21 and most women over 30, political parties sought to open their doors to the new electorate. While most historians have focused mainly on the leaders and thinkers who shaped the political hierarchy, this account looks to those who dedicated their lives to creating, projecting, and sustaining a variety of political ideals.

Boxing : A Cultural History (9781789140514)

Throughout history, potters, sculptors, painters, poets, novelists, cartoonists, song-writers, photographers, and filmmakers have recorded and tried to make sense of boxing. From Daniel Mendoza to Mike Tyson, boxers have embodied and enacted our anxieties about race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality. In her encyclopedic investigation of the shifting social, political, and cultural resonances of this most visceral of sports, Kasia Boddy throws new light on an elemental struggle for dominance whose weapons are nothing more than fists. Looking afresh at everything from neoclassical sculpture to hip-hop lyrics, Boddy explores the ways in which the history of boxing has intersected with the history of mass media. Boddy pulls no punches, looking to the work of such diverse figures as Henry Fielding and Spike Lee, Charlie Chaplin and Philip Roth, James Joyce and Mae West, Bertolt Brecht and Charles Dickens in an all-encompassing study that tells us just how and why boxing has mattered so much...
