Established by local artists soon after the Aylesbury’s opening in 1974, the Walworth and Aylesbury Community Arts Trust (WACAT) ran a multifaceted arts project on the estate until the early 1990s. Through an examination of WACAT’s changing aims, outputs and engagements with tenants, this article presents new ways of thinking about life on an inner urban estate. For many participants, the project was not only a focus of sociability and creative expression, but a way of making sense of rapidly changing material and social circumstances. The article further shows how art-making was used to both facilitate and oppose the estate’s ongoing demolition, and of contesting stereotypical representations of the estate that went hand in hand with the process of state-led ‘regeneration’.","PeriodicalId":46051,"journal":{"name":"Twentieth Century British History","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49310588","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}

While there is now a substantial body of scholarship articulating the continuities between Victorian liberal imperialism and the liberal internationalism of the early twentieth century that gave rise, most notably, to the League of Nations’ mandates system, parallel developments within socialist thought in Britain have been less readily noted. Critically, leading Fabian Society intellectuals reaffirmed the late nineteenth-century belief that European powers had the legal as well as moral right to partition and internationalize territories and markets in the name of preserving peace and advancing prosperity. Indeed, in the drive to produce conceptually robust positions on problems of world order, in certain respects socialists went furthest in scope and ambition. An aspect of this dynamic is explored here by paying particular attention to the place of the Ottoman Empire in socialist discussions of international government and the mandates system.","PeriodicalId":46051,"journal":{"name":"Twentieth Century British History","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45507909","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}

These may have been supposed to foster new patterns of female mobility. Yet studies of women's intergenerational mobility are rare and tend not to focus on education. This article develops a historically informed gauge of educational attainment-the Educational Cohort Code (ECC). Applying that gauge to the experiences of women in twentieth-century UK, we make two key claims: first, that despite the prevalence of narratives of progress and mobility in individual and collective accounts of women's education, there were considerable intergenerational continuities in women's educational status across the period. Second, that the expansion of educational opportunities across the twentieth century had a differential impact for women and for men and that this differentiation destabilizes categorizations of class solely based on male occupational hierarchies. By applying the ECC method to family data, rather than focusing only on individuals, the article identifies trends within families and the possible influence of family cultures of education and employment on intergenerational mobility.</p>","PeriodicalId":46051,"journal":{"name":"Twentieth Century British History","volume":"1 1","pages":"345-368"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10652814/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62113311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So far as the Affluent Worker study is concerned, such a consideration has not always been adequate, and with untoward consequences. Further, where, as with the Affluent Worker study, the original research was of a survey-based, quantitative kind, serious methodological differences regarding data analysis can arise.

The first section provides an overview of the scheme and its North American origins. The second half of the article explores the scheme in the context of London's electoral geopolitics, and considers how the relationship between the boroughs and the GLC influenced housing policy across the capital. The article then locates the scheme within the context of the 'inner city', and explores the complex relationship between race, homeownership, and the Conservative Party during the late 1970s. Finally, the article identifies the formation of a Conservative urban imaginary that envisioned London as a 'city of villages', resurrecting the brick terraced street as the ideal domestic form, in opposition to the high-rise housing of welfare state modernism-and in so doing, drew on a growing sense of popular individualism during the decade. To conclude, the article proposes that the GLC's Homesteading scheme was a striking prefiguration of the kinds of urban interventions in British cities that characterized Thatcher's premiership, and that it has significance for understanding a range of diverse, intersecting urban issues during the period.</p>","PeriodicalId":46051,"journal":{"name":"Twentieth Century British History","volume":"1 1","pages":"319-344"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62113775","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}
