        My Father's Secret

        The BND, my family and I

        by Corinna von Bassewitz

        For a long time, Corinna von Bassewitz believed her father was a soldier, later on that he was a diplomat. Then, at the age of 16, she learnt something unbelievable: he had been a secret agent for the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND, Germany's Federal Intelligence Service). Once the secret had been at least partly uncovered, she became something of a spy herself and eventually found some confidential documents in her parents' attic. Later, she realised that her father had been living as a double agent for the FRG and the GDR. So what effect does it have on a girl if her father conceals his true identity and eventually disappears without trace? Along with her family history, the author provides multi-layered and exciting insights into the historical context of the Cold War. A very personal book, intriguingly told and emotionally touching.

        Engendering whiteness

        White women and colonialism in Barbados and North Carolina, 1627–1865

        by Cecily Jones

        Engendering whiteness represents a comparative analysis of the complex interweaving of race, gender, social class and sexuality in defining the contours of white women's lives in Barbados and North Carolina during the era of slavery. Despite their gendered subordination, their social location within the dominant white group afforded all white women a range of privileges. Hence, their whiteness, as much as their gender, shaped these women's social identities and material realities. Crucially, as the biological reproducers of whiteness, and hence the symbolic and literal embodiment and bearers of the state of freedom, they were critical to the maintenance and reproduction of the cultural boundaries of 'whiteness', and consequently the subjects of patriarchal measures to limit and control their social and sexual freedoms. Engendering whiteness draws on a wide variety of sources including property deeds, wills, court transcripts, and interrogates the ways in which white women could be simultaneously socially positioned within plantation societies as both agents and as victims. It also reveals the strategies deployed by elite and poor white women in these societies to resist their gendered subordination, to challenge the ideological and social constraints that sought to restrict their lives to the private domestic sphere, to protect the limited rights afforded to them, to secure independent livelihoods, and to create meaningful existences. A fascinating study that with be welcomed by historians of imperialism as well as scholars of gender history and women's studies.

        Les secrets cachés de la capoeira

        by Mestre Ricardo (Cachorro)

        La capoeira, cette inconnue Les secrets cachés de la capoeira brésilienne originale par Mestre Ricardo (Cachorro) La capoeira est un art martial développé par les esclaves africains au Brésil à partir du 16ème siècle, résultant de la fusion de différents groupes ethniques qui avaient originellement apporté avec eux leur propre identité culturelle en Amérique du Sud, en même temps que leur esprit de liberté. En dépit de la forte évidence des influences d'une diversité d'autres formes des anciens arts martiaux africains, la capoeira est essentiellement une expression originale brésilienne avec de nombreux adeptes et de fans enthousiastes sur tous les continents. Bien que la capoeira tienne en haute estime ses aspects culturels et historiques, il ne faut pas s'y tromper : il s'agit d'une méthode de combat efficace et mortelle ! A la suite de son développement au long des années, la capoeira est devenue l'art martial le plus riche, le plus spectaculaire et le plus beau de la planète. Cependant, ce que même la plupart des capoeiristas ne savant pas, c'est que cet art martial fascinant peut devenir une arme à la fois athlétique et gracieuse, mais aussi mortelle entre les mains (et les pieds) de n'importe quel adepte le pratiquant de manière disciplinée et sérieuse. Dans ce livre, vous apprendrez les secrets particuliers de la capoeira telle qu'elle est exécutée dans une roda ou dans un véritable combat. Les mouvements, le combat au sol et les techniques aériennes sont entièrement décrits au niveau de la perfection, à l'aide de centaines d'illustrations. Des diagrammes expliquent des manœuvres spéciales encore jamais publiées dans l'univers des arts martiaux. De plus, les lecteurs disposeront du libre accès à de passionnants fichiers animés GIF illustrant les nombreux mouvements présentés dans le livre. Mestre Ricardo, connu de son surnom de Cachorro, qui appartenait au Grupo Bantus de Capoeira de Mestre Adilson, à Morro do Pavão e Pavãozinho – un bidonville frappé de pauvreté planté au milieu des riches banlieues de Rio de Janeiro – fut le premier Mestre du groupe de Capoeira du YMCA à Governor’s Island, à New York, obtenant cet honneur en 1975. L'année suivante, il devint un Mestre licencié par la Première Fédération de Capoeira de Rio de Janeiro, la FCP, et la même année il présenta la capoeira dans une émission de télévision en direct filmée en Caroline du Nord, patronnée par la section locale du YMCA. Dans les années 1970, Mestre Ricardo était un membre de l'équipe de gymnastique olympique du Fluminense Football Club de Rio de Janeiro, où il se spécialisa dans les exercices au sol. Au cours de sa carrière professionnelle d'adepte de la capoeira, Ricardo a étudié et pratiqué la boxe, le karaté Shotokan et le judo, les utilisant pour mieux comprendre les mécanismes de mouvement du corps rencontrés dans les différents arts martiaux. Une édition en anglais pour l'Amérique du Nord a été publiée en automne 2009.

        Public Private Partnerships in Ireland

        Failed experiment or the way forward?

        by Rory Hearne, Rob Kitchin

        Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) have come to public attention in recent years in Ireland with the impact of toll roads, the collapse of social-housing projects and their use in the provision of courts buildings, schools, water/waste water treatment plants, hospitals, light rail and other public infrastructure and services. This book provides a ground breaking and unique analysis of the development of such PPPs internationally, with a detailed focus on the rationale behind their introduction and outcomes in Ireland. The detailed evidence outlined from the author's extensive research (including interviews with senior central and government officials, private sector, community and trade union representatives and the Irish Minister for Environment) highlights the important role PPPs are playing in the implementation of privatisation and neoliberalism. The book also provides considerable practical lessons from individual PPP projects. It is therefore an essential read for students, academics of politics, economics, sociology, geography and policy practitioners in Ireland, and further afield. It is of considerable interest to anyone concerned with the progress of Irish society, its economy and, indeed public services and governance internationally. ;

        Public Schools and Private Education

        The Clarendon Commission 1861–64 and the Public Schools Acts

        by Colin Shrosbree

        The great public schools are central to any discussion of English secondary education. Founded as public endowments, they are the basis of private education. Set apart from the other grammar schools by the Clarendon Commission of 1861, their influence on the state system has been enormous. Severed from the national provision of public education, they have put prestige and ancient endowments at the service of wealth and patronage. This book, available in paperback for the first time, shows how this came to pass. How the schools' attempts at reform, reliance on fees, the defence of the Classics, public criticism of Eton, European ideas and foreign economic competition led to the Carendon Commission. How Lord Clarendon himself, in conflict with Palmerston over foreign policy, came to lead the Commission and attempt curricular reform. How the Public Schools Acts created a separate school system for the benefit of Eton and how the Lords sought to establish that system for the upper classes. How the fee-paying, class-based principles of the Commission influenced the other grammar schools and all later English education. How the Public schools Acts reduced the influence of local parents and how new governors were appointed nationally. How Shrewsbury School, an example of an endowed grammar school with strong local connections, came to be part of the public school system. It is not the conflict between state education and private schools that makes so much discussion of English education bitter and controversial. It is the loss to state education of the public schools - the original political purpose of the Acts - and the impoverishment of national education by the class divisions of Victorian legislation. ;
