The Cross-Cultural Parenting Playbook

The General Strike of 1926: the tragic story of how the world's best organized working class confronted the world's most powerful, and self-confident, government. In May, 1926, nearly three million British workers downed tools to support nearly one million of their countrymen, miners whose employers meant to lengthen their working day and cut their pay. This General Strike brought the country to a grinding halt - which, according to Conservative Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, represented a threat not merely to the nation but to the parliamentary system itself. For nine days, the world's best organized working class confronted the world's most powerful, and self-confident, government. And yet the outcome was never in doubt, for Britain's most important trade-union leaders thought as Baldwin did, although they kept saying they were engaged in a wages dispute only. Really, they feared winning even more than they feared losing. In Nine Days in May, award-winning author and historian Jonathan Schneer mines hitherto untapped archival sources to explain why and how the Strike came about, why and how it was waged and countered, why and how it ended. In addition to government reports and TUC reports, he uses reports of undercover agents and spies, "special" constables sworn in for the duration of the Strike, volunteer strike-breakers, Communist agitators, trade-union leaders and rank-and-file members of trade unions; also, of course, the papers of politicians of all parties. This is a tale of Shakespearian dimensions, replete with tragic heroes and villains and buffoons and opportunists and double-dealers, and contending, evenly matched, forces - both of which meant to do their duty whatever the cost. There may never be another general strike in Britain, but the General Strike of 1926 was one for the ages, illuminating the human condition.

Voices of War

Lively, adventurous and comprehensive, this book offers a fascinating account of the contemporary culture of pedestrianism and serves as both investigation and celebration of walking and its literature. Pedestrians have joined the forward ranks of current political debate, social thought and aesthetic practice, with consequences that this book illuminates in literature, art, digital culture and political life from around the globe. Ingeniously structured around the root word 'gress', chapters move through ingress, egress, progress, regress, aggress, congress, digress, transgress and gress itself to touch on matters as diverse as walking as a political and activist activity; notions of pilgrimage; matters of race and indigineity; animal studies; environmental studies; and digital culture. Extraordinarily comprehensive in its coverage, it examines works by writers including W G Sebald; Anne Carson; Chinua Achebe; Cormac McCarthy; Jamaica Kincaid; Paul Celan; Arundhati Roy; Norman Mailer and many more. While its subject is as timeless as the Pliocene footprints preserved in the tuff of Laetoli it is also as timely as lockdown, social distancing, pedestrian-repurposed commercial streets and the anti-racism marches. It demonstrates the scale, diversity and impact of the extensive contemporary walking literature and art in the context of the social forces and politics this resurgence enables.

Contemporary Critical Perspectives

Rachel Cusk is one of the most critically acclaimed and controversial contemporary British authors. Her diverse body of work offers a striking portrait of trends in 21st-century literature, and the history of Cusk's literary output is one of experimentation and a desire to push against established cultural models. Rachel Cusk: Contemporary Critical Perspectives is the first critical guide to Cusk's work, spanning novels including Saving Agnes, A Country Life, and Second Place, her 'autofictional' Outline trilogy, and her nonfiction A Life's Work, The Last Supper, Aftermath and the Coventry essays. Rigorous and wide-ranging, this book provides an accessible and lucid introduction to Cusk's work, exploring themes of gender relations, class dynamics, maternal identity and creative freedom. The collection concludes with an in-depth interview with Cusk, conducted by Merve Emre, reflecting on her influences, writing and experiences. Mapping the formal and stylistic shift across her career and locating them within their specific contexts, this collection provides a crucial analysis of Cusk's influences, politics, and literary techniques that speak to many of the most pressing issues in contemporary literature.
