‘Casualties Inevitable’ - Consumer Co-operation in British Africa, by Linda Shaw (410 kB)
Twenty-five years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the history of socialism and communism still presents itself as one of the most polarizing and controversial themes in Europe's culture of memory. While some countries of the former Eastern Bloc utilise their socialist past in the formation of national identities, others tend to construct nostalgic memories of their lived experiences in socialist times.
The Contemporary Social History Archives (ASKI,Greece/member of IALHI) has published a new brochure in English, which reflects its collections, activities and public history programs.
In 1961, Nikita Khrushchev hailed the development of a "world socialist system," which he defined as "a social, economic, and political community of free, sovereign nations [. . .] united by common interests and goals, by the close ties of international socialist solidarity." This day-long workshop will bring together an interdisciplinary group of early-career scholars to examine the socialist system from a global and transnational perspective.

THE HIDDEN ABODES OF PRODUCTION
LABOUR, COMMODITIES AND REPERTOIRES OF EVALUATION IN THE EUROPEAN EIGHTEENTH AND NINETEENTH CENTURIES
Indifference towards any specific kind of labour presupposes a very developed totality of real kinds of labour, of which no single one is any longer predominant. As a rule, the most general abstractions arise only in the midst of the richest possible concrete development, where one thing appears as common to many, to all. – Karl Marx
