Seven Lives from Mass Observation: Britain in the Late Twentieth Century
James Hinton uses the Mass Observation project to explore how seven people - the wife of a small businessman, a teacher, a social worker, an RAF wife, a mechanic, a lorry driver, and a City banker - reacted to the rapidly changing society after the war years, through the increasingly tolerant sixties, to the rise of Thatcherite neo-liberalism.

Über den Autor
James Hinton, Professor Emeritus at the University of Warwick, has published widely on the social history of twentieth-century Britain. His early work in labour history included The First Shop Stewards' Movement (1973) and Labour and Socialism (1983). A spell of intense political activism in the 1980s anti-nuclear movement was reflected in Protests and Visions: Peace Politics in Twentieth-Century Britain (1989). Turning his attention tothe 1940s, he published two monographs on contrasting groups of active citizens: Shop Floor Citizens: Engineering Democracy in 1940s Britain (1994); Women, Social Leadership, and the Second World War (2002). Since retiring in 2004 he has worked on Mass Observation, publishing Nine Wartime Lives: Mass-Observation and the Makingof the Modern Self (2010) and The Mass Observers: A History, 1937-1949 (2013).
