SUMMARY:Book Launch: Love\, Class and Empire
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the publication of Love\, Class and Empire by A. James Hammerton.\nEarly twentieth-century Persia and the Persian Gulf presented a largely blank slate to the British\, best known only as a vital conduit to India and a site of contest – the ‘great game’ – with the Russian Empire. \nAs oil discoveries and increasing trade brought new attention\, the expanding telegraph and river shipping industries attracted resourceful men into junior positions in remote outposts. Love\, Class and Empire explores the experiences of two of these men and their families. \nDrawing on a wealth of personal letters and diaries\, A. James Hammerton examines the complexities of expatriate life in Iran and Iraq\, in particular the impact of rapid social mobility on ordinary Britons and their families in the late imperial era. Uniquely\, the study blends histories of empire with histories of marriage and family\, closely exploring the nature of expatriate love and sexuality. In the process\, Hammerton discloses a tender expatriate love story and offers a moving account of transient life in a corner of the informal empire. \nHousekeeping\nThis event will be in-person only. \nAt the RHSV refreshments are served from 6.30pm. \nAn automatic confirmation of your RSVP will be sent to you – please check your Spam or Junk Mail folder as these automated emails are often viewed as Junk by your email provider.

SUMMARY:RICHMOND: the half-forgotten world of "the Richmond Irish"
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Chris McConville and Robert Pascoe \nThe next talk in their series on Richmond’s villages will take Chris McConville and Robert Pascoe into the half-forgotten world of “the Richmond Irish”. This event will take place on Sunday 5 October. The first Irish in Richmond were the Anglo-Irish who settled Richmond Hill\, in streets like The Vaucluse and Erin Street\, in the colonial era. They were followed by the working-class Catholic Irish. The Loughnans\, the O’Connells\, the Cremeans — these clans came to define twentieth-century Richmond. Prominent Richmondites of Irish background also included Francis Bourke\, Jack Dyer (on his mother’s side)\, and Dan Minogue. Our suburb was shaped by their politics\, their language\, and their outlook on life. They bequeathed Richmond its glorious pubs\, its bitter-sweet humour\, and its inclusivity. Despite their relatively diminished numbers\, the Richmond Irish still make their presence felt in so many ways.
