hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Making Do: Britons and the Refashioning of the Postwar World examines how ordinary people in Britain adapted to the profound social and economic changes that followed the Second World War. Historian Peter Mandler explores how citizens navigated rationing, reconstruction, new welfare policies, and shifting cultural expectations, showing how everyday choices helped shape the emerging modern Britain. Drawing on rich archival sources and personal accounts, the book reveals how Britons balanced tradition with innovation, scarcity with creativity, and national ideals with lived experience. Insightful and deeply human, itâs an essential study of how a society rebuilds itself from the ground up. Artikel-Nr. mon0001642406

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Imagine a world in which clothing wasn't superabundant - cheap, disposable, indestructible - but perishable, threadbare and chronically scarce. Eighty years ago, when World War II ended, a textile famine loomed. What would everyone wear as uniforms were discarded and soldiers returned home, Nazi camps were liberated, and millions of uprooted people struggled to subsist In this richly textured history, Carruthers unpicks a familiar wartime motto, 'Make Do and Mend', to reveal how central fabric was to postwar Britain. Clothes and footwear supplied a currency with which some were rewarded, while others went without. Making Do moves from Britain's demob centres to liberated Belsen - from razed German cities to refugee camps and troopships - to uncover intimate ties between Britons and others bound together in new patterns of mutual need. Filled with original research and personal stories, Making Do illuminates how lives were refashioned after the most devastating war in human history. Artikel-Nr. 9781009464284
