The inter-war period (1918–1939) is still remembered as a period of mass deprivation – the 'hungry thirties'. But how did this impression emerge? Thousands of conversations about life in the inter-war period – between parents and children around the dinner table; among workmates at the pub – shaped these understandings. In turn, these fed into popular politics. Challenging accounts of widespread political disengagement in the twentieth century, this book shows how re-telling family stories about the inter-war period offered ordinary people an accessible way of engaging in politics.
