|aGender, Labour, War and Empire offers a collection of original essays by a lively mix of scholars interested in the cultures of nineteenth and twentieth-century Britain. Topics range from prostitution and earlynineteenth-century slavery to responses to inter-racial marriage in the postwar era. In particular, the volume focuses on the Second World War and its aftermath, including its effectson decolonization. Inspired by the work of Sonya O. Rose, it provides a critical examination of howstudies of gender, labour, and war have transformed the history of modern imperial Britain.
