In Clearing the Air, Gregory Wood examines smoking's importance to the social and cultural history of working people in the twentieth-century United States. Now that most workplaces in the United States are smoke-free, it may be difficult to imagine the influence that nicotine addiction once had on the politics of worker resistance, workplace management, occupational health, vice, moral reform, grassroots activism, and the labor movement. The experiences, social relations, demands, and disputes that accompanied smoking in the workplace in turn shaped the histories of antismoking politics and tobacco control.The steady expansion of cigarette smoking among men, women, and children during the first half of the twentieth century brought working people into sustained conflict with managers’ demands for diligent attention to labor processes and work rules. Addiction to nicotine led smokers to resist and challenge policies that coldly stood between them and the cigarettes they craved. Wood argues that workers’ varying abilities to smoke on the job stemmed from the success or failure of sustained opposition to employer policies that restricted or banned smoking. During World War II, workers in defense industries, for example, struck against workplace smoking bans. By the 1970s, opponents of smoking in workplaces began to organize, and changing medical knowledge and dwindling union power contributed further to the downfall of workplace smoking. The demise of the ability to smoke on the job over the past four decades serves as an important indicator of how the power of workers’ influence in labor-management relations has dwindled over the same period.

Описание: At the time of his death, William Francis Hare (1906-1997), fifth Earl of Listowel, was the longest serving member of the House of Lords and the Privy Council. His career, recorded through these memoirs, both witnessed and influenced some of the most remarkable events in twentieth-century British history.
The 1890s was a decade of deep and widespread progressive thinking about how the ills of late-Victorian society might be amended. One group of Christian Socialists, known as the Brotherhood Church, fired by the writings of Leo Tolstoy, set out to build a collective and co-operative alternative to the harsh realities of life in the rapidly expanding town of Croydon. Among many initiatives, their mission led them to seek out a place where, as a colony, they could live out their beliefs, going 'back to the land', seeking self-sufficiency and equality of labour and reward. Their search for land led them to Purleigh in Essex, deeply rural and in the midst of a depression. Despite the commitment, enthusiasm and sheer hard work poured into it, the colony lasted barely three years, though it went on to have an influence on many progressive thinkers and experiments in the following decades.
This detailed study opens by looking at the background of 'progressivism' during the late-Victorian period and the initial ambitions of the founding fathers of the Brotherhood Church concept. It then explores the initiatives and enterprises set in place in Croydon and the aspirations underlying the search for a colony. In Purleigh, it examines the challenges for survival which the colonists met along the way, the issues which divided them and the complex personalities who built and ultimately led to the downfall of the colony
During the life of both the Croydon and Purleigh phases, the leading figures in the colony had met and were in regular contact with Tolstoy, whose ambivalent attitudes to the experiment and confusing commitments to the participants merely added to the problems. Through Tolstoy the Purleigh colony became involved in the fate of the persecuted Russian sect, the Doukhobors, while the involvement of the leading protagonist, John Coleman Kenworthy, with British anarchists kept the colonists under the watchful eye of both the British and Russian secret services.
Finally, the book considers the after-effects of the colony, both on the later lives of the colonists themselves and on other idealistic experiments and campaigns which followed. It concludes that, despite its relatively short life, the example provided by the Purleigh Brotherhood Colony and the lessons learned from its failure radiated far and wide among those bent on finding a better way of living, both for individuals and for society at large.
