Description

Jason Zuckerbrod, of our own Columbia University, contributes an excellent paper on consensus politics in Britain during the Second World War. Zuckerbrod uses a small but carefully analyzed selection of newspaper articles in prominent journals to explore how different ideological orientations from the right to the left understood and came to support educational programs for the military. Against interpretations that emphasize the Labour’s post-war ascendancy, Zuckerbrod’s analysis cautions against simplistically equating agreement over particular policies with ideological consensus.
