ABSTRACT Although the second Marquess of Bute is often described as the “father” of modern Cardiff, this article will show that Bute was able to use his position to manipulate town affairs and exercise total political and economic control over the urban settlement. Likewise, in the neighbouring county of Monmouthshire, the fifth Duke of Beaufort used his authority in a similar manner to maintain his influence over the boroughs of Newport, Monmouth and Usk. Using newspaper articles, borough records and private correspondence, it will be shown that these aristocratic landowners were able to consolidate their authority over the urban environment during the nineteenth century. As the owners of vast estates, both men had enormous personal fortunes and access to powerful and influential networks that enabled them to threaten livelihoods, rig elections and thwart urban and economic developments in order to manipulate the structures of urban governance for their own gain.

ABSTRACT This article examines the efforts of Elías and Felipe Sapag to mobilise support among the local electorate of Neuquén Province, Patagonia, in the context of Perón’s return to power in Argentina in 1973. Their efforts illustrate how ethnic minorities used their identity as provincial inhabitants to cope with the context of socio-political crisis and uncertainty. From this perspective, this article introduces discussion on provincial differences into the study of ethnic minorities’ political experiences, including how the local political participation of ethnic minorities affected processes of identification in Argentina.

ABSTRACT The centenary of the First World War has brought about increased scholarly interest in the Dominions and their contribution to the war effort. It is now time to ask what impact the many Dominion soldiers had on the British towns where they were garrisoned. This article will focus on Canadian soldiers based in the Sussex town of Bexhill-on-Sea. Drawing on local newspapers, the article utilises the Maple Leaf Empire paradigm developed by Johnathan F Vance. It seeks to understand how the Canadians were perceived by the locals and whether the Canadians, in Vance’ words, “reverse-colonised” the town leading it to resemble a Canadian enclave in Britain. The article suggests that the Maple Leaf Empire typology has credence, but it is a stretch to say that it applies to Bexhill in any meaningful way. While the Canadians had an impact on the town, it was not wide-ranging enough to claim reverse-colonisation.
摘要第一次世界大战一百周年使学术界对自治领及其对战争的贡献越来越感兴趣。现在是时候问问许多自治领士兵对他们驻扎的英国城镇产生了什么影响了。这篇文章将聚焦于驻扎在苏塞克斯海滨小镇贝克希尔的加拿大士兵。这篇文章借鉴了当地报纸，采用了Johnathan F Vance开发的枫叶帝国模式。它试图了解当地人对加拿大人的看法，以及用万斯的话来说，加拿大人是否“反向殖民”了这个小镇，使其看起来像是加拿大在英国的飞地。这篇文章表明，枫叶帝国的类型学是可信的，但如果说它以任何有意义的方式适用于贝克希尔，那就太夸张了。虽然加拿大人对该镇产生了影响，但其影响范围还不够广泛，不足以宣称反殖民。

ABSTRACT The enormous demographic and economic disturbances caused by World War I forced participating governments to drastically restrict market freedoms. In particular, the state began intervening actively in the housing market. For the first time, Ukraine, as a part of the then Russian Empire, implemented rent controls and protection of tenants from eviction. This paper concentrates on interventions in the rental housing market of Right-Bank Ukraine during the war. It identifies the factors triggering intervention in the landlord-tenant relationship; analyses changes in the housing legislation; and assesses the effectiveness of the regulations.

ABSTRACT The need to tell or correct a narrative about a totemic moment in the history of a place is brought to the fore in this article. It tells the story of a series of meetings in 2015 with older residents of Canvey Island in Essex who had asked for a chance to share individual experiences of ‘that night’ of flooding in 1953. A need to seize one last chance to tell the story, or tell it for the first time, is found in the recollections of other older people experiencing traumatic events. The article details the gathering of profound and painful narratives that had previously remained hidden and were fragile to loss forever. It reflects on the importance of protecting the older persons’ narrative when gathering collective memory. The events at the heart of the narratives occurred in 1953 but their potency is not diminished by the passing of time.

ABSTRACT Between 1922 and 1931, Dundee elected Britain’s only ever Prohibitionist MP. Despite its success in entering parliament, the Scottish Prohibitionist Party failed to make an impact in any other part of the country. This paper seeks to explain why the party’s success was limited to the city. It examines the nature of the party, and its role within wider political changes affecting Scotland in the interwar period. It will explore the extent to which its political philosophy was particularly well suited to Dundee, and the importance of the party’s organisation and charismatic leader Edwin Scrymgeour to its achievements. Through this, it will shed light on both the nature of Scottish politics in this period, and the extent to which localised political phenomena are the result of environmental factors or the agency of political actors.
