        Class, work and whiteness

        Race and settler colonialism in Southern Rhodesia, 1919–79

        by Nicola Ginsburgh

        This book offers the first comprehensive history of white workers from the end of the First World War to Zimbabwean independence in 1980. It reveals how white worker identity was constituted, examines the white labouring class as an ethnically and nationally heterogeneous formation comprised of both men and women, and emphasises the active participation of white workers in the ongoing and contested production of race. White wage labourers' experiences, both as exploited workers and as part of the privileged white minority, offer insight into how race and class co-produced one another and how boundaries fundamental to settler colonialism were regulated and policed. Based on original research conducted in Zimbabwe, South Africa and the UK, this book offers a unique theoretical synthesis of work on gender, whiteness studies, labour histories, settler colonialism, Marxism, emotions and the New African Economic History.

        Work-Life Balance

        Malevolent Managers and Folkloric Freelancers

        by Wayne Reé, Benjamin Chee

        When a malevolent multinational arrives on our shores, familiar creatures like pontianaks, manananggals, rākṣasīs and ba jiao guis are forced out of their jobs. Some give in and sign up for mundane corporate life – but others would rather fight than join the broken-spirited hordes of the (desk)bound. Benjamin Chee’s comics and Wayne Rée’s prose intertwine in this collection to bring you familiar Asian mythology in an even more familiar setting: the realm of dead-end work, glass ceilings and truly hellish bosses.

        Frauen, die wir lieben

        Filmdiven und ihre heimlichen Verehrer

        by Freddy Langer

        Von Ava Gardner, Katharine Hepburn und Romy Schneider, über Marilyn Monroe und Audrey Hepburn hin zu Catherine Deneuve und Charlotte Rampling – die Grandes Dames der Kinoleinwand, die als unwiderstehliche Ikonen, betörende Schönheiten und verwegene Femmes fatales in die Geschichte des Films eingingen, begeistern nicht nur Filmenthusiasten immer wieder aufs Neue, sie haben seit jeher auch Männerherzen höherschlagen lassen. Freddy Langer versammelt in diesem Band die schönsten Liebeserklärungen von Schauspielern, Autoren, Filmemachern, Musikern, Malern, Journalisten, Regisseuren – die geistreich, subtil, direkt, leidenschaftlich, witzig oder tiefsinnig, dabei aber immer ganz ehrlich ihre Verehrung zum Ausdruck bringen. Mit Texten von Volker Schlöndorff, Harry Rowohlt, Peter Härtling, Markus Kavka und vielen anderen.

        Feeling the strain

        A cultural history of stress in twentieth-century Britain

        by Jill Kirby

        Examining the popular discourse of nerves and stress, this book provides a historical account of how ordinary Britons understood, explained and coped with the pressures and strains of daily life during the twentieth century. It traces the popular, vernacular discourse of stress, illuminating not just how stress was known, but the ways in which that knowledge was produced. Taking a cultural approach, the book focuses on contemporary popular understandings, revealing continuity of ideas about work, mental health, status, gender and individual weakness, as well as the changing socio-economic contexts that enabled stress to become a ubiquitous condition of everyday life by the end of the century. With accounts from sufferers, families and colleagues it also offers insight into self-help literature, the meanings of work and changing dynamics of domestic life, delivering a complementary perspective to medical histories of stress.
