Recently, we have been informed that the article by Matthew Thomas, “Anarcho-Feminism in Late Victorian and Edwardian Britain, 1880--1914”, in International Review of Social History, 47 (2002), pp. 1--31, contains a number of pieces of text, in particular in the section “Motherhood, Childcare and Housework” (pp. 15--17), copied from an article by Judy Greenway, “Sex, Politics and Housework”, in: Christine Coates et al. (eds), The Diggers and Dreamers 94/95: Guide to Communal Living (1993), pp. 39-45, without the author having given any proper acknowledgement or reference to this article. Although our Instructions for Contributors clearly state that an author is fully responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce any material in which they do not hold the copyright and for ensuring that the appropriate acknowledgements are included, we deeply regret this incident, for which we would like to apologize to Judy Greenway. In the light of this information, the editors have decided, in agreement with Matthew Thomas, to withdraw the electronic version of the article from CJO. The original pagination of the issue, however, is preserved.

After fulfilling the position since 1987, Marcel van der Linden stepped down as executive editor of the International Review of Social History in July 2007. Over the past two decades the Review has developed into one of the leading journals in the field of international, and increasingly global, social history. For anyone who has kept track of the journal in this period, the contribution Marcel van der Linden has made to the journal's development will be clear. He remains involved with the Review in a different role. From February 2008 onward, he will be the permanent Chair of the journal's Editorial Committee, and as such will continue to be engaged in the development of the journal.

Human Social Life

AbstractAlthough community is a core sociological concept, its meaning is often left vague. In this article it is pointed out that it is a social form that has deep connections with human social nature. Human social life and human social history can be seen as unflagging struggles between two contradictory behavioral modes: reciprocity and status competition. Relative to hunter-gatherer societies, present society is a social environment that strongly seduces to engage in status competition. But at the same time evidence increases that communal living is strongly associated with well being and health. A large part of human behavior and of societal processes are individual and collective expressions of on the one hand succumbing to the seductions of status competition and one the other hand attempts to build and maintain community. In this article some contemporary examples of community maintaining, enrichment and building are discussed. The article concludes with a specification of structural conditions for community living and a short overview of ways in which the Internet affects these conditions.

This issue, and the supplement published simultaneously, conclude the fiftieth volume of the International Review of Social History. In 1956 when the first issue appeared, A.J.C. Rüter, director of the International Institute of Social History (IISH) at the time, provided three reasons for launching the journal. He observed that the “rather meagre” interest in social history in the current journals (including the French Annales) was “a fact readily explained by the space available on the one hand and the supply of manuscripts on the other”. He believed, moreover, that there was a demand for an international medium, where social historians from different countries and continents could exchange views on mutual similarities and differences. Finally, Rüter noted that social historiography, which had slowly come to fruition under the protective aegis of economic historiography, had become emancipated and had acquired its own dynamics.
