J. T. Murphy was one of the most important worker-intellectual figures in the history of labour in early twentieth-century Britain. Using material from the Communist Party of Great Britain's archives and the Russian Centre for the Preservation and Study of Recent History in Moscow, this book not only tells the story of Murphy's political trajectory, but also provides a critical re-examination of the historical and social significance of the early British revolutionary movement in which he played such a prominent role.Less

This chapter focuses on La Rosca de Investigación y Acción Social, an organisation that functioned in the early 1970s in various locations in Colombia, its purpose to cooperate with indigenous and peasant organisations in the reconstruction of memory and the reintroduction of practices and institutions that would strengthen resistance to large landowners and the state. In particular, the chapter explores La Rosca’s work with the National Association of Peasant Users (ANUC) in the Caribbean coastal region. looking at: (1) how historical material was collected and the role of the different parties in the research process, (2) the process of interpretation of this historical material and the role of ‘science’ as it was articulated by the external researchers, (3) the methodologies employed in the writing/setting on paper in visual or written form of these interpretations, and (4) the life-spans and political trajectories of the results.Less

This chapter summarises the discussions presented in the preceding chapters. It emphasises that this book is primarily concerned with the interaction of social and migration policies in specific social, political, and economic contexts, which affect the welfare, inclusion, and well-being of migrants. Several concepts, such as the labour market and employment; welfare systems and social rights; and migration, social protection, and the challenges of integration, are discussed and reviewed. The chapter concludes with some general reflections on policy and political trajectories and challenges in the field of migration, migration policy, and social protection.Less

This chapter investigates burial practices and cultural identity at the cemetery of Langada on Kos and discusses the evidence for diachronic changes in the context of Koan Late Bronze Age society. More specifically, through an in-depth study of excavation data, this contribution reconsiders three significant aspects of the Langada burial arena. The first one concerns tomb type, size, shape, and spatial distribution. The second and the third aspects concern, respectively, evidence for tomb reuse and mortuary treatments. The analysis of these features is used to compare burial practices, characterize societal structure, and better understand cultural developments. The results of this research imply that the gradual formation of a Mycenaean identity on Kos was the outcome of a long-term process of integration between Greek mainland and local funerary traditions, which came to fruition during Late Helladic IIIA2 and Late Helladic IIIB. During these phases, Mycenaean identity functioned to bind a well-organized Koan society. In the successive Late Helladic IIIC period, on the other hand, the identification of greater variability in material evidence and burial practices suggests that, while Mycenaean culture remained important, Koan society had a more fluid character and a looser structure.Less
