Abstract: The paper explain how the Workers' Education Association's accomodation of apparently divergent imperial influences from the UK and the USA prevented a long-lasting compact between its labour movement and middle class membership. In the aftermath of World War ONe, conflict between the competing ideologies of social transformation and social harmony climaxed not just in a contest over the orientation and golas of workers' eduaction, but in a broader struggle over political citizenship.
