More pointedly, however, he underlines the relative absence of factory studies in particular and the fact that this comparative approach to factories is the first (though hopefully not the last) of its kind. What emerges is a story of not one but two towns, Cork and Cobh (pronounced ‘Cove’), the latter of which was on an island in the Cork harbour estuary and was home to an Irish steel plant. In spite of being a nationalized industry with early trade union recognition, somewhat in contradistinction to Cork’s two private car manufacturers, Cobh’s Irish Steel workers evince noticeably less warm nostalgia for their old workplace. Undoubtedly, and as Cullinane demonstrates, this is in part tied to the subsequent fortunes of Cobh as a place haunted by de-industrialization whilst Cork grew and diversified during the Celtic Tiger years. Indeed, the history of the present if not the recent past suffuses much of this study in general, something that is paradoxically oral history’s perennial strength and weakness as a source, method and final product. One of the more interesting aspects of this book is the discussion around protectionism and its generally positive impact on sustaining these three factories. This contrasts with much that has been written about the tariff-driven economics of successive twentieth-century Irish governments up until the 1960s. If, of course, for a time it operated – like the Republic of Ireland’s corporation tax regime does today – to help attract and anchor businesses, it nonetheless did rather less for workers, who continued to emigrate in large numbers to find work, albeit some of it was provided in Ford’s Dagenham plant. It is, though, the workers’ memories that sparkle most in this book, most notably in the central spine looking at life in the three very different factories. They combine humour with pathos and show the ordinariness as well as the drama of the working lives within the plants. Cullinane here has produced a very democratic history in the service of his living sources and allowed them to speak not merely for themselves but for a long-silenced Irish working-class experience.","PeriodicalId":21866,"journal":{"name":"Social History","volume":"1 1","pages":"112 - 114"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76643385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An explosion of civil litigation was accompanied by unprecedented levels of imprisonment for debt, leaving many prisoners reliant upon a growing economy of prison charity. This article addresses the nature of such charity, its role in prison society and what it suggests about early modern attitudes towards imprisonment. It uncovers the range and scale of prison relief, from official aid to everyday begging and face-to-face alms. Charity was vital to prison life, and thus to securing growing credit networks. Yet by extension it was also a vector of moral judgement that left prisoners dependent, subordinated and subject to discipline. This article uncovers assumptions about the function of imprisonment for debt implicit in both practices of and commentaries on prison charity. The moral logic of early modern debt gave new disciplinary meaning to the prison, emphasized by the potential for social judgement inherent in charity. Theories of prisons’ punitive and reformative potential emerged to police social relations based on credit, trust and reputation. Thus, the ethical context of credit relations gave prisons new significance as institutions of moral judgement, punishment and rehabilitation.","PeriodicalId":21866,"journal":{"name":"Social History","volume":"1 1","pages":"1 - 34"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76298142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It reveals the significant role of fishing and fish weirs in the construction and reconstruction of social structures and cultural identities. It focuses on an enigmatic annual ceremony – the construction of the Horngarth or Penny Hedge at Whitby, North Yorkshire. The article begins by arguing that the ceremony descends from the construction of a medieval intertidal fish weir, before exploring the possible social and cultural contexts in which the fish weir originated and the social and cultural circumstances that perpetuated its construction to the sixteenth century. It proceeds to consider the social and cultural changes that undermined its original function and transformed its significance in the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and how a tradition invented about it became important to the local identity and national reputation of the town.","PeriodicalId":21866,"journal":{"name":"Social History","volume":"1 1","pages":"349 - 371"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82770888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Perhaps one important area of David Hey’s work that is underplayed in this volume is his important contribution to the study of family names, place names and the potential role of DNA analysis in historical studies. Hey argued that such research could significantly aid our understanding of population mobility and stability within a region. The final chapter of the volume, by George Redmonds, engages most closely with this material as he examines the links between personal names and settlement names in the south Yorkshire Pennines. Sadly, Redmonds died shortly after the conference took place in 2018 and his short chapter is based only on his conference presentation rather than being developed into a fuller paper. Further examples of this aspect of David Hey’s work would have created a more rounded volume. Other chapters in the book deal with the family history of the Cavendish family of Hardwick Hall (Peter Edwards), the creation and functions of deer parks in south Yorkshire (Melvyn Jones), the expansion of arable land for food production in Derbyshire during the First World War (Nicola Verdon), and the significance of boundaries and fragmented parishes in the English landscape, together with the repetition of some place names (John Broad). Overall, this is a well-presented volume containing a selection of carefully researched essays that recognize the diversity of David Hey’s research interests. The essays also reflect David’s devotion to the society, economy and landscape of south Yorkshire and Derbyshire. The book has a high standard of production with well-drawn maps. It is likely to be of interest not only to local historians of the Sheffield region but also more widely to social, economic and landscape historians who see the value of relating local studies to national processes. It is also a fitting tribute to the life and scholarship of David Hey.","PeriodicalId":21866,"journal":{"name":"Social History","volume":"54 1","pages":"467 - 469"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90834556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sense of hopelessness that pervaded the coalfields in the 1990s and early 2000s signalled seismic political shifts. Both Prime Minister Tony Blair and architect of New Labour policy Peter Mandelson held parliamentary seats in north-east England, which in 2019 were won by the Conservatives. The book explains in substantial detail that the decline of the Labour vote in former English coalfields was not a recent phenomenon. The Conservative vote was deeper in localities that had witnessed mine closures in the 1960s, and weaker, but still substantial, in those that retained mines into the 1990s. One lacuna here that is in need of further research is the role of English nationalism in fuelling support for the Conservatives. In the 1931 general election, the Labour vote in Durham fragmented, but in South Wales it held firm (26). Similar electoral outcomes were evident in local council elections in 2021. It would appear that labour culture retained some resonance as part of a broader Welsh identity, whereas in former coal communities in County Durham, the North East and the Midlands it has been fundamentally disconnected from a post-Brexit Englishness. The book is a major contribution to the historiography of the British coal industry, and the culture it produced. It should be required reading for historians of twentiethcentury Britain, but perhaps most importantly for those who are committed to reconnecting the Labour Party to the post-industrial working class. As the Brexit vote and the 2019 general election revealed, the ‘kings of the underworld’ were not quite banished to the realms of the history books, and the shadow of the mine continued to have a dramatic impact on British politics.","PeriodicalId":21866,"journal":{"name":"Social History","volume":"25 1","pages":"469 - 471"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85189629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They have not only dealt with unexplored research but have, above all, succeeded in doing so with great dexterity. With its focus on the labour movement and its relation to social change from the nineteenth century to the twentieth, the book is an invaluable contribution not only for Greek and Turkish studies scholars and students but also for researchers who focus on global labour history. I am confident that this well-written and superbly edited book will also attract a wide readership and become standard reading, as it integrates both countries into the global labour history tradition. It will undoubtedly be several years before this work is surpassed.","PeriodicalId":21866,"journal":{"name":"Social History","volume":"58 1","pages":"471 - 473"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75013143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
