Neighbours, Distrust, and the State overturns many of our ideas about how the poorer working class lived together, and thought about each other, from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. The reality was quite different to what has been the accepted historical belief; that of an unbreakable solidarity between neighbours against ''outsiders'', particularly in rejecting any interference by government in their lives and communities. But the views of women and others who were less powerful in these neighbourhoods have often been ignored. This study shows the diversity of opinion-and tensions and fears-that existed. In fact, many of the poor wanted the authorities to have a bigger role, particularly to deal with neighbourhood problems and the personal failings and untrustworthiness of those they saw around them.

Neighbours, Distrust, and the State overturns many of our ideas about how the poorer working class lived together, and thought about each other, from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. The reality was quite different to what has been the accepted historical belief; that of an unbreakable solidarity between neighbours against ''outsiders'', particularly in rejecting any interference by government in their lives and communities. But the views of women and others who were less powerful in these neighbourhoods have often been ignored. This study shows the diversity of opinion-and tensions and fears-that existed. In fact, many of the poor wanted the authorities to have a bigger role, particularly to deal with neighbourhood problems and the personal failings and untrustworthiness of those they saw around them. Many people also just wanted better provision of services by the state. As well as being a direct challenge to much that has been written about this issue, this study is also timely because of its contemporary political relevance. Many of the points it makes are important to challenge the idea that comprehending a ''lost'' solidarity of working-class neighbourhoods is the only way to understand current political developments in those areas. It looks at issues such as: relationships with the police; friendly societies; housing; compulsory education; and the extent to which Labour politicians did or did not represent the views of the poor.

Produktinformasjon

Utforsk 'Neighbours, Distrust, and the State'

Har du noen gang lurt på hvordan den **fattigere arbeiderklassen** virkelig opplevde hverdagen? 'Neighbours, Distrust, and the State' gir deg svaret ved å avdekke en ny, overraskende virkelighet fra midten av det 19. århundre til midten av det 20. århundre. Dette banebrytende verket snur opp ned på den tradisjonelle oppfatningen av ubrytelige bånd mellom naboer og deres motstand mot myndighetene.

Hva handler boken om?

Gjennom grundig forskning kaster **'Neighbours, Distrust, and the State'** lys over de ofte oversette, men viktige stemmene fra kvinner og de marginaliserte i disse samfunnene. Her er noen sentrale temaer som boken tar opp:

  • Politiforhold: Hvordan opplevde folk møte med myndighetene?
  • Vennskapsforeninger: Rolle og betydning i arbeiderklassens liv.
  • Boligforhold: Erfaringsutveksling i trange kår.
  • Utdanning: Obligatorisk skolegang og dens implikasjoner.
  • Politisk representasjon: I hvilken grad føler de fattige at deres meninger er representert?

En ny forståelse av naboskap

Boken utfordrer mye av det som tidligere har blitt skrevet om solidaritet i arbeiderklassen. Visste du at mange i de marginaliserte samfunnene faktisk ønsket **en større rolle fra myndighetene** for å håndtere lokale problemer? Boken avdekker en kompleks virkelighet der bekymringer om tillit og samfunnssikkerhet ble delt, og etterspørselen etter bedre offentlige tjenester var utbredt.

Relevans i dagens samfunn

Med paralleller til dagens politiske klima, er 'Neighbours, Distrust, and the State' ikke bare en historisk analyse, men en kilde til innsikt for nåtiden. Boken stiller spørsmålet: Kan forståelsen av fortidens samfunnsbånd hjelpe oss med å forstå nåtidens politiske utviklinger? Dette er en reading for alle som er opptatt av samfunnsforhold, politikk og historie.

Ta med deg denne **omfattende studien** hjem i dag, og oppdag hvordan naboskap, mistillit og statlig innflytelse har formet samfunnet vårt. En bok som både skal utfordre og inspirere, er klar til å bli en del av ditt bibliotek.
