Come along to celebrate celebrate the publication of two books from Historians working in the Department of History at the University of Liverpool.
Anna Bocking-Welch will introduce British Civic Society at the End of Empire: Decolonisation, Globalisation and International Responsibility (MUP, 2018).
In what ways did the British public imagine themselves as important actors on a global stage in the late twentieth century?
Samantha Caslin will then outline aspects of Save the Womanhood! Vice, Urban Immorality and Social Control in Liverpool, c. 1900-1976 (LUP, 2018).
How did twentieth century anxieties about changing sexual practices, female immigration, white slavery and the rise of new consumer cultures play out at street level, and what were the consequences for women in Liverpool?
