FictionSeptember 2017A Vision of Battlements
by Anthony Burgess
by Andrew Biswell, Paul Wake
A Vision of Battlements is the first novel by the writer and composer Anthony Burgess, who was born in Manchester in 1917. Set in Gibraltar during the Second World War, the book follows the fortunes of Richard Ennis, an army sergeant and incipient composer who dreams of composing great music and building a new cultural world after the end of the war. Following the example of his literary hero, James Joyce, Burgess takes the structure of his book from Virgil's Aeneid. The result is, like Joyce's Ulysses, a comic rewriting of a classical epic, whose critique of the Army and the postwar settlement is sharp and assured. The Irwell Edition is the first publication of Burgess's forgotten masterpiece since 1965. This new edition includes an introduction and notes by Andrew Biswell, author of a prize-winning biography of Anthony Burgess.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2017The souls of white folk
White settlers in Kenya, 1900s–1920s
by Brett Shadle, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie
Kenya's white settlers have been alternately celebrated and condemned, painted as romantic pioneers or hedonistic bed-hoppers or crude racists. The souls of white folk examines settlers not as caricatures, but as people inhabiting a unique historical moment. It takes seriously - though not uncritically - what settlers said, how they viewed themselves and their world. It argues that the settler soul was composed of a series of interlaced ideas: settlers equated civilisation with a (hard to define) whiteness; they were emotionally enriched through claims to paternalism and trusteeship over Africans; they felt themselves constantly threatened by Africans, by the state, and by the moral failures of other settlers; and they daily enacted their claims to supremacy through rituals of prestige, deference, humiliation and violence. The souls of white folk will appeal to those interested in the histories of Africa, colonialism, and race, and can be appreciated by scholars and students alike.

Humanities & Social SciencesSeptember 2008Immigration and European integration
Towards fortress Europe
by Andrew Geddes, Dimitris Papadimitriou, Simon Bulmer, Andrew Geddes, Peter Humphreys
Migration is at the heart of the contemporary European Union. This new edition addresses three key questions that underpin EU responses to migration policy. First, what role does the EU play in the regulation of migration? Second, how and why have EU measures developed to promote the integration of migrants and their descendants? Third, what impact do EU measures on migration and asylum have on new member states and non member states? The updated edition covers important recent developments, addressing new migration flows and the external dimension of EU action on migration and asylum and placing in all these in the context of a 'wider' Europe. Andrew Geddes provides comprehensive analysis of the EU's free movement framework, of the development of co-operation on immigration and asylum policy, of the mobilisation by groups seeking to represent migrant's interests in EU decision-making, the interface between migration, welfare and the EU's social dimension, and the impact of enlargement on migration and asylum. This innovative and original analysis of the European dimension of immigration policy is essential reading for scholars of European integration, the politics of immigration and the prospects for new patterns of migrant inclusion at member state and EU level. ;

Films, cinemaDecember 2014Interpreting rock movies
Pop Film and Its Critics in Britain
by Andrew Caine
Andrew Caine details the reaction to British and American pop films during the 1950s and 1960s. By examining the British reception of films such as Rock Around the Clock, Love Me Tender, A Hard Day's Night and Summer Holiday the book provides a valuable insight into British film criticism, teenage culture during the 1950s and 1960s and the generic status of rock films/teen movies and cultural hierarchies. Interpreting rock movies not only contains an extensive account of how the film and music press reacted to rock 'n roll films, but also fully explores issues about taste and distinction within reviewing practices. The movie output of Elvis Presley, the Beatles, and numerous others is located within the context of popular music during the 1950s and 1960s.

Literature & Literary StudiesJune 2017Victorian demons
Medicine, masculinity, and the Gothic at the fin-de-siècle
by Andrew Smith
Victorian demons provides the first extensive exploration of largely middle-class masculinities in crisis at the fin de siècle. It analyses how ostensibly controlling models of masculinity became demonised in a variety of literary and medical contexts, revealing the period to be much more ideologically complex than has hitherto been understood, and makes a significant contribution to Gothic scholarship. Andrew Smith demonstrates how a Gothic language of monstrosity, drawn from narratives such as 'The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' and 'Dracula', increasingly influenced a range of medical and cultural contexts, destabilising these apparently dominant masculine scripts. He provides a coherent analysis of a range of examples relating to masculinity drawn from literary, medical, legal and sociological contexts, including Joseph Merrick ('The Elephant Man'), the Whitechapel murders of 1888, Sherlock Holmes's London, the writings and trials of Oscar Wilde, theories of degeneration and medical textbooks on syphilis.

Yitzhak Rabin – Die Laufbahn einer Führungspersönlichkeit
by Shaul Webber
Yitzhak Rabin – Die Laufbahn einer Führungspersönlichkeit Von Shaul Webber „Schon vor der Ermordung von Yitzhak Rabin sah ich in ihm immer einen rätselhaften Helden“, schreibt der Autor Dr. Shaul Weber.Dieses Rätsel wurde nach seiner Ermordung noch verstärkt.Rabins Auftritte in den Medien und den Aussagen von denen, die ihm nahe gestanden haben, zeigten eine Komplexität, die nicht ignoriert werden konnte.Obwohl er ständig von Menschen umgeben war, war er emotional ein Einzelgänger.Er war ein Politiker, dem politische Normen widerstrebten, ein Mann von Integrität und Moral. Dennoch war er bereit, im Interesse der nationalen Sicherheit von seinen Idealen abzugehen.Trotz seines undiplomatischen Erscheinungsbildes, wurde er ein hochrangiger Diplomat und nationale Führungspersönlichkeit. Rabin war am Anfang seiner Karriere emotional zurückgezogen, schüchtern und schonungslos offen. Er forderte kompromisslose Perfektion von sich selbst und anderen.Er verfügte über beeindruckende analytische Fähigkeiten und stellte deutlich seine Führungsqualitäten unter Beweis, auch wenn er noch nicht ganz bereit war, die anspruchsvolle Aufgabe der militärischen Führung zu übernehmen, als diese Rolle ihm durch die Umstände aufgezwungen wurde. In seinen frühen Tagen mit der Palmach erschien Rabin als ein Mann, der Kameradschaft verherrlicht, aber einsam, schüchtern und unfähig zu kommunizieren war.Obwohl er ständig das „wir“ in seinen Reden verwendete, sonderte er sich von anderen ab und errichtet um sich eine Barriere von Individualismus und extrem hohen Ansprüchen.Obwohl er kühl und analytisch war, hatte er paradoxerweise ein hitziges Temperament und war bekannt dafür, unverblümte, bisweilen sogar beleidigende Äußerungen zu machen.Doch in den letzten Jahren seines Lebens lernte er seine Gefühle besser auszudrücken und mehr Wärme auszustrahlen. Als Pädagoge und Historiker geht Dr. Webber davon aus, dass jeder Mensch ein Produkt seiner Kindheit und Erziehung ist. In diesem Buch werden schlaglichtartig Episoden aus der Kindheit und Jugend Rabins sowie von seinem Leidensweg als Kommandeur der Harel-Brigade während des israelischen Unabhängigkeitskrieges von 1948 geschildert.Während seines Lebens, besonders jedoch nach seinem Tod, galt Rabin als das „Salz der Erde“. Es scheint jedoch, dass man eine Menge bitterer Kräuter essen muss, um sich diesen hehren Titel zu verdienen.Dieses Buch handelt von diesen bitteren Kräutern. Shaul Webber wurde in Tel Aviv geboren.Nach seinem Wehrdienst schloss er sich dem Kibbutz Ha'on nahe Kinneret an (See Genezareth).Nach dem Ende des Sechstagekrieges ging er ins Kibbuth Merom Golan in den Golan-Höhen und arbeitete dort als Erzieher und Lehrer.Der Autor erhielt seinen B.A. in Philosophie und Pädagogik von der Hebrew University in Jerusalem, einen M.A. in Pädagogik von der Haifa University und einen Ph.D. von der Hebrew University in Jerusalem.Heute lebt er in Ramat Gan und lehrt Pädagogik und Geschichte an der Open University.Dies ist sein drittes Buch.Sein erstes Buch, Ein blaues Hemd auf schwarzem Hintergrund, wurde 1998 veröffentlicht und beschreibt das Verhältnis der Jugendbewegungen in Eretz Israel zur Diaspora während und nach dem Holocaust.Sein zweites Buch, Mystery Hill, im Jahr 2003 veröffentlicht, analysiert die berühmte Schlacht von Ammunition Hill aus seiner persönlichen Sicht als ein Soldat, der an diesem schrecklichen Blutbad teilgenommen hat, sowie aus der Sicht eines Forschers und Historikers.Sein kürzlich erschienenes Buch, Der Spion, der vergessen wurde, handelt von Major Max Bennett – einem der umstrittensten und tragischen israelischen Undercover-Agenten, ein brillanter Geheimdienstoffizier, der leichtfertig von seinen Vorgesetzten in die berüchtigte gescheiterte Geheimoperation in Ägypten in den frühen 50er Jahren geschickt wurde und dort in einer Gefängniszelle umkam

Yitzhak Rabin – The Growth of A Leader
by Shaul Webber
“Even before Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated, I always saw him as an enigmatic hero,” writes the author Dr. Shaul Weber. This enigma only intensified after his assassination. Rabin’s appearances in the media and the testimony given by those close to him reflected a complexity that could not be ignored. Always surrounded by others, he stood out as an emotionally distant loner. A politician who projected unease with the political norms, and basically a man of integrity and morality, he was nevertheless willing to stray from his ideals in the interests of national security. Despite his undiplomatic image, he became a senior diplomat and national leader. Rabin, emotionally withdrawn, shy and blunt throughout his formative years, demanded uncompromising perfection from himself and others. Blessed with impressive analytic capabilities, he demonstrated the qualities of leadership, even when not quite ready to assume the onerous mantle of military leadership when that role was forced on him by circumstances beyond his control. In his early days with the Palmach, Rabin comes across as a man who glorified camaraderie, but who was lonely, shy and unable to communicate. Although he spoke in terms of “we,” he closed himself off from others, putting up barriers of individualism and fastidiousness. Cool and analytic, he paradoxically had a hot temper and was known to speak bluntly, even offensively. However, in the latter years of his life, he learned to better express his feelings and project more warmth. As an educator and historian, Dr. Webber assumes that every human being is a product of his childhood and upbringing, which offers only partial solutions to the riddle of Rabin’s boyhood, his adolescence, and his painful ordeal as commander of the Harel Brigade during Israel's 1948 War of Independence. Throughout his life, and especially after his death, Rabin was said to be the “salt of the earth.” It appears, however, that in order to earn this noble title, one has to eat a lot of bitter herbs, too. This book is about those bitter herbs. Each year the president and the prime minister of Israel present prizes – usually to writers – for the best works related to one of each of their predecessors. This year the prize winner for memorizing Yitzhak Rabin was Dr. Shaul Weber for his book The Growth of a Leader, which follows Rabin’s path from childhood through to his youth in the Palmah and subsequently in the army, and sheds fresh light on what influenced Rabin’s growth as a military leader, a diplomat and a political leader. Shaul Webber was born in Tel Aviv. After his army service, he joined Kibbutz Ha'on nearby the Kinneret (the Sea of Galilee). When the Six-Day War was over he joined Kibbutz Merom Golan in the Golan Heights, and worked there as an educator and teacher. The author received his B.A. in philosophy and education from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, an M.A. in education from Haifa University, and his Ph.D. from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Today he lives in Ramat Gan and teaches education and history at the Open University. This is Dr. Webber’s third book. His first book, A Blue Shirt on a Black Background, was published in 1998 and describes how the youth movements in Eretz Israel related to the Diaspora during and after the Holocaust. His second book, Mystery Hill, published in 2003, analyzes the famous battle of Ammunition Hill from his personal point of view as a soldier who participated in that terrible bloodshed, as well as from the perspective of a researcher and historian. His recently published book, The Spy Who Was Forgotten, is about Major Max Bennett – one of Israel's most controversial and tragic undercover agents, a brilliant intelligence officer who was recklessly involved by his superiors in the notoriously failed secret operation in Egypt in the early 50s, and who tragically ended his life there in a prison cell. An English-language eBook edition was published in spring 2013 by Samuel Wachtman's Sons, Inc., CA.) 374 Pages, 15 x 22.5 cm.

Literature & Literary StudiesFebruary 2019ABBA ABBA: By Anthony Burgess
by Paul Howard, Andrew Biswell
ABBA ABBA is one of Anthony Burgess's most original works, combining fiction, poetry and translation. A product of his time in Italy in the early 1970s, this delightfully unconventional book is part historical novel, part poetry collection, as well as a meditation on translation and the generating of literature by one of Britain's most inventive post-war authors. Set in Papal Rome in the winter of 1820-21, Part One recreates the consumptive John Keats's final months in the Eternal City and imagines his meeting the Roman dialect poet Giuseppe Gioachino Belli. Pitting Anglo-Italian cultures and sensibilities against each other, Burgess creates a context for his highly original versions of 71 sonnets by Belli, which feature in Part Two. This new edition includes extra material by Burgess, along with an introduction and notes by Paul Howard, Fellow in Italian Literature at Trinity College, Cambridge.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2020Knowledge, mediation and empire
James Tod's journeys among the Rajputs
by Florence D'Souza, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie
This study of the British colonial administrator James Tod (1782-1835), who spent five years in north-western India (1818-22) collecting every conceivable type of material of historical or cultural interest on the Rajputs and the Gujaratis, gives special attention to his role as a mediator of knowledge about this little-known region of the British Empire in the early nineteenth century to British and European audiences. The book aims to illustrate that British officers did not spend all their time oppressing and inferiorising the indigenous peoples under their colonial authority, but also contributed to propagating cultural and scientific information about them, and that they did not react only negatively to the various types of human difference they encountered in the field.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2017The Arctic in the British imagination 1818–1914
by Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie, Rob David
The Arctic region has been the subject of much popular writing. This book considers nineteenth-century representations of the Arctic, and draws upon an extensive range of evidence that will allow the 'widest connections' to emerge from a 'cross-disciplinary analysis' using different methodologies and subject matter. It positions the Arctic alongside more thoroughly investigated theatres of Victorian enterprise. In the nineteenth century, most images were in the form of paintings, travel narratives, lectures given by the explorers themselves and photographs. The book explores key themes in Arctic images which impacted on subsequent representations through text, painting and photography. For much of the nineteenth century, national and regional geographical societies promoted exploration, and rewarded heroic endeavor. The book discusses images of the Arctic which originated in the activities of the geographical societies. The Times provided very low-key reporting of Arctic expeditions, as evidenced by its coverage of the missions of Sir John Franklin and James Clark Ross. However, the illustrated weekly became one of the main sources of popular representations of the Arctic. The book looks at the exhibitions of Arctic peoples, Arctic exploration and Arctic fauna in Britain. Late nineteenth-century exhibitions which featured the Arctic were essentially nostalgic in tone. The Golliwogg's Polar Adventures, published in 1900, drew on adult representations of the Arctic and will have confirmed and reinforced children's perceptions of the region. Text books, board games and novels helped to keep the subject alive among the young.

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2007The French empire at War, 1940–1945
by Martin Thomas, Andrew Thompson, John Mackenzie
The French empire at war draws on original research in France and Britain to investigate the history of the divided French empire - the Vichy and the Free French empires - during the Second World War. What emerges is a fascinating story. While it is clear that both the Vichy and Free French colonial authorities were only rarely masters of their own destiny during the war, preservation of limited imperial control served them both in different ways. The Vichy government exploited the empire in an effort to withstand German-Italian pressure for concessions in metropolitan France and it was key to its claim to be more than the mouthpiece of a defeated nation. For Free France too, the empire acquired a political and symbolic importance which far outweighed its material significance to the Gaullist war effort. As the war progressed, the Vichy empire lost ground to that of the Free French, something which has often been attributed to the attraction of the Gaullist mystique and the spirit of resistance in the colonies. In this radical new interpretation, Thomas argues that it was neither of these. The course of the war itself, and the initiatives of the major combatant powers, played the greatest part in the rise of the Gaullist empire and the demise of Vichy colonial control. ;

The ArtsSeptember 2008François Ozon
by Andrew Asibong, Diana Holmes, Robert Ingram
This is the first full-length study of the films of François Ozon, director of such diverse films as 8 femmes, Swimming Pool, 5x2 and Les amants criminels. Andrew Asibong's passionate and critical analysis focuses on the extent to which Ozon's seemingly light touch never ceases to engage with the fundamentally weighty issue of existential transformation, a transformation that affects both his protagonists and his audiences. A central question emerges: what is at stake, cinematically, ethically and politically, in Ozon's alternatively utopian and cynical flirtation with the construction and deconstruction of contemporary social relations. Revealing Ozon as a highly adept 'fan' of a whole range of thought, literature and cinema, Asibong places the precocious French auteur in an intellectual yet highly accessible critical framework, allowing Ozon's importance for a thoroughly postmodern filmgoing generation to be given the attention it deserves. ;
