Abstract

This review of Laura Carter's ground-breaking 2024 paperback book, 'Histories of Everyday Life: The Making of Popular Social History in Britain, 1918-1979', considers her attention to locality-based, or concrete, history teaching in Britain in the twentieth century. I address Carter's work on the varied intentions underpinning this style of teaching, as well as the other modes of understanding history and history teaching that were marginalised on account of its dominance. I pay particular attention to Carter's findings in relation to teacher and student autonomy in the context of CSE teaching in the 1960s and 1970s. Some links are made between the teaching of history in the twentieth century and the 2013 history curricula reforms. This connects to Carter's reflections on the relationship between multicultural societies, and concrete teaching styles. In classrooms of individuals with diverse cultural identities, what becomes the role of local history in the construction of the self?
