Abstract "The inter-war period (1918-1939) is still remembered as a period of mass deprivation - the 'hungry thirties'. But how did this impression emerge? Politics of the Past explains how stories about the interwar working-class experience in industrial areas came to appear commonplace nationwide"-- Provided by publisher.
