Titre : Divided Kingdom : A History of Britain, 1900 to the Present Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Pat Thane, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2018 Importance : 502 p. Format : 16x24 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-107-61250-1 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : How has the UK evolved into the country it is today? This clear, comprehensive survey of its history since 1900 explores the political, economic, social and cultural changes which have divided the nation and held it together, and how these changes were experienced by individuals and communities. Pat Thane challenges conventional interpretations of Britain's past based on stark contrasts, like the dull, conservative 1950s versus the liberated 'swinging sixties', and explores the key themes of nationalisms, the rise and fall of the welfare state, economic success and failure, imperial decline, and the UK's relationship with Europe. Highlighting changing living standards and expectations and inequalities of class, income, wealth, race, gender, sexuality, religion and place, she reveals what has (and has not) changed in the UK since 1900, why, and how, helping the reader to understand how our contemporary society, including its divisions and inequalities, was formed.

Titre : Drama, Theatre, and Identity in the American New Republic Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jeffrey H. Richards, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2008 Importance : 396 p. Format : 16x24cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-06668-6 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Drama, Theatre, and Identity in the American New Republic investigates the way in which theatre both reflects and shapes the question of identity in post-revolutionary American culture. In this 2005 book Richards examines a variety of phenomena connected to the stage, including closet Revolutionary political plays, British drama on American boards, American-authored stage plays, and poetry and fiction by early Republican writers. American theatre is viewed by Richards as a transatlantic hybrid in which British theatrical traditions in writing and acting provide material and templates by which Americans see and express themselves and their relationship to others. Through intensive analyses of plays both inside and outside of the early American 'canon', this book confronts matters of political, ethnic and cultural identity by moving from play text to theatrical context and from historical event to audience demography.

Titre : European Elites and Ideas of Empire, 1917-1957 Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Dina Gusejnova, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2018 Importance : 348 p. Format : 15x23cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-107-54358-4 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Who thought of Europe as a community before its economic integration in 1957? Dina Gusejnova illustrates how a supranational European mentality was forged from depleted imperial identities. In the revolutions of 1917 to 1920, the power of the Hohenzollern, Habsburg and Romanoff dynasties over their subjects expired. Even though Germany lost its credit as a world power twice in that century, in the global cultural memory, the old Germanic families remained associated with the idea of Europe in areas reaching from Mexico to the Baltic region and India. Gusejnova's book sheds light on a group of German-speaking intellectuals of aristocratic origin who became pioneers of Europe's future regeneration. In the minds of transnational elites, the continent's future horizons retained the contours of phantom empires.

Titre : Freedom in the Arab World : Concepts and Ideologies in Arabic Thought in the Nineteenth Century Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Wael Abu-'Uksa, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2018 Importance : 238 p. Format : 15x23cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-316-61382-5 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : A preoccupation with the subject of freedom became a core issue in the construction of all modern political ideologies. Here, Wael Abu-'Uksa examines the development of the concept of freedom (hurriyya) in nineteenth-century Arab political thought, its ideological offshoots, their modes, and their substance as they developed the dynamics of the Arabic language. Abu-'Uksa traces the transition of the idea of freedom from a term used in a predominantly non-political way, through to its popularity and near ubiquity at the dawn of the twentieth century. Through this, he also analyzes the importance of associated concepts such as liberalism, socialism, progress, rationalism, secularism, and citizenship. He employs a close analysis of the development of the language, whilst at the same time examining the wider historical context within which these semantic shifts occurred: the rise of nationalism, the power of the Ottoman court, and the state of relations with Europe.

Titre : Human Rights in Africa Human Rights in Africa Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Bonny Ibhawoh, Auteur Editeur : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2018 Importance : 248 p. Format : 15x23cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-107-60239-7 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Human rights have a deep and tumultuous history that culminates in the age of rights we live in today, but where does Africa's story fit in with this global history? Here, Bonny Ibhawoh maps this story and offers a comprehensive and interpretative history of human rights in Africa. Rather than a tidy narrative of ruthless violators and benevolent protectors, this book reveals a complex account of indigenous African rights traditions embodied in the wisdom of elders and sages; of humanitarians and abolitionists who marshalled arguments about natural rights and human dignity in the cause of anti-slavery; of the conflictual encounters between natives and colonists in the age of Empire and the 'civilizing mission'; of nationalists and anti-colonialists who deployed an emergent lexicon of universal human rights to legitimize longstanding struggles for self-determination, and of dictators and dissidents locked in struggles over power in the era of independence and constitutional rights.
