From the author of the critically acclaimed Square Haunting comes an unconventional biography of the inimitable and uncompromising artist, Gertrude Stein.

Wade F: Gertrude Stein

Gertrude Stein

An Afterlife – 'Strikingly accomplished . . . utterly compelling.'

Routledge Library Editions: Work & Society

This book was originally published in 1981 at a time when mass unemployment had returned to the United Kingdom. Now reissued with a new Preface by the author's literary executor, the essays in this volume discuss in detail the damage that was being done to the community and the economy at national and regional levels as a result of government policy. There are chapters on the political and economic aspects of the problem, on the comparison with the inter-war years, on youth unemployment and on unemployment in each of the regions worst affected. The collection as a whole provides an authoritative overview of a central political issue of the late 20th Century but one which still has resonance today as the post-Covid, post-Brexit UK economy teeters on the edge of recession.

Unemployment

The Margellos World Republic of Letters

The extraordinary testimony of a daring Caribbean writer-activist, determined to expose injustice and defend the dignity of migrant workers &nbsp; In the 1960s, hundreds of women traveled from French colonies in the West Indies to become domestic workers for white families in France. Lured by the French government with the false promise of economic opportunity, these women instead found themselves subjected to racial discrimination, deplorable living conditions, overwork, and no pay until they "earned back" the cost of the trip to France.After hearing the shocking stories of Caribbean domestic workers, Françoise Ega took a position as a cleaning woman in wealthy French homes in order to chronicle these abuses. Structured as a collection of unsent letters to the Brazilian writer Carolina Maria de Jesus, Notes to a Black Woman weaves the story of Ega's experiences in France with her memories of Martinique, her observations on the joys and tribulations of family life, and her reflections on the power of the written word to reveal the discomfiting truths behind the facade of bourgeois French society.Composed on her bus commutes and by candlelight at her kitchen table while her five children slept, Notes to a Black Woman is a piercing denunciation of the legacies of colonialism and slavery, a wholesale rejection of alienation, and an intimate archive of friendship, joy, solidarity, motherhood, and hope.

Notes to a Black Woman

Gesundheit, Kommunikation und Gesellschaft

Die Public Health Humanities verstehen Gesundheit und Krankheit als kulturell und sozial geprägte Phänomene. Sie ergänzen die empirisch orientierte Multidisziplin Public Health um geisteswissenschaftliche und künstlerische Perspektiven. Dabei fragen sie nach der Bedeutung des Künstlerischen für die Gesundheit, interessieren sich für moralische, soziale und kulturelle Dimensionen von Gesundheit und Krankheit in Kunst bzw. Medien und bieten theoretische Zugänge für gesundheitliche Analysen an. Bezugsdisziplinen sind u.a. Kunst-, Kultur- und Medienwissenschaften, Philosophie und Geschichte. Die Beiträger*innen leuchten das Spektrum unterschiedlicher Perspektiven und Zugänge der Public Health Humanities erstmals auf Deutsch aus.

'A landmark appraisal... deep and enriching' GUARDIAN 'An exhilarating meeting of critical minds' OBSERVER 'Serpell is a superlative essayist' DIANA EVANS 'Serpell brings her expertise and eye to Toni Morrion's singular literary genius' HARPER'S BAZAAR The essential companion to Toni Morrison's work, written by Namwali Serpell, 'one of the most innovative and intelligent writers today' (Financial Times) Toni Morrison, Nobel Laureate and most beloved of writers, has inspired generations of readers. But her artistic genius is often overshadowed by her monumental public persona, perhaps because, as Namwali Serpell puts it, 'she is our only truly canonical black, female writer - and her work is highly complex.' In On Morrison, Serpell brings her unique experience as both an award-winning writer and professor to illuminate Toni Morrison's masterful experiments with literary form. This is Morrison as you've never encountered her before, a journey through her vivid fiction and criticism, as well as her lesser-known dramatic works and poetry - with contextual guidance and original close readings. Accessible and thrillingly rigorous, On Morrison is a primer not only on how to read one of the most significant American authors of our time, but how to approach any great work of literature. The conversation between the two black women artist-readers that rises from these pages is stylish, edifying and spectacular in its scope and erudition. '[Serpell has] hopped on a rocket and touched the Tonisphere, with her mind... Serpell's excitement, her sense of discovery and dismay, become yours' NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW 'Breathtaking, provocative, and refreshing' IMANI PERRY

Routledge Library Editions: Soviet Society

Soviet Russia Fights Crime (1934) examines the workings of the Soviet penal system in the pre-war years of the Soviet Union. It is a valuable insight into prison life in Soviet Russia, in both prisons and prison colonies, with the author being allowed remarkably free access to certain institutions.

'Two Women Living Together is a wonderfully calming and cosy read. I always adore stories of women who choose to live beyond the confines of cultural expectation-and this book might just be my new favourite!' - Emma Gannon, Sunday Times bestselling author of both fiction and non-fiction, and a former judge for the 2025 Women's Prize. 'Everything about this compelling, curious, beautiful story of two women moving in together, in midlife, is delightful ... I loved every moment!' - Clover Stroud, author of My Wild &amp; Sleepless Nights, The Red of my Blood, and The Giant on the Skyline Quietly radical, full of warmth and wit, Two Women Living Together celebrates carving out your own path, cats, female friendship, and found family. At some point between living alone and becoming single, Hwang Sunwoo and Kim Hana found each other, and decided to live together in a nice apartment where their four cats would finally have the freedom to run around. Together they redefined what family looks and feels like. At a time housing costs have skyrocketed whilst the birth rates plummets, these two independent Korean women in their late forties share their views on society and its expectations of them. And, intent neither to marry or to live alone, they reflect on the comfort of their cohabiting friendship as it blossoms into a life full of joy and meaning. 'Inspiring' - Evening Standard 'Beneath the warmth lies a radical proposition: that their partnership should be treated like any family.' - Guardian

The Geography of the Port of London (1957) deals with the mid-century functions of the port studied in relation to their physical setting and in the light of their historical development. An analysis of the roles of the various dock and wharf systems is followed by a discussion of the present commerce of the port, illustrated by post-war statistics. The multiple background to this activity is also presented, including a discussion of the 1950s physical condition of the River Thames and of the markets and industries associated with the port. It presents a comprehensive picture of this at-the-time greatest British seaport, considered with reference to certain principles of economic geography.

Von den 'Meistern des Mangels' zu den Hoffnungsträgern der Marktwirtschaft.Wirtschaft in der DDR - das waren nicht nur die volkseigenen Kombinate, HO-Geschäfte und Genossenschaften, sondern auch eine Vielzahl kleiner privater Handwerksbetriebe, die in der Mangelwirtschaft Reparaturen, Dienstleistungen und Waren anboten. Als letzte Überreste privaten Wirtschaftens wurden sie nach dem Fall der Mauer unversehens zu Hoffnungsträgern der Transformation. Trotz enormer Risiken behaupteten sich erstaunlich viele von ihnen in der Marktwirtschaft. Eine Welle von Neugründungen und die Abwicklung der großen VEBs hatten zur Folge, dass in den frühen 1990er Jahren mehr Ostdeutsche im Handwerk arbeiteten als in der Industrie.

Arbeits- und Lebenswelten zwischen Plan und Markt

Handwerk Ost

Originally published in 1971, this wide-ranging study illuminates many crucial wage and employment issues by examining the operation of local labour markets and by testing labour market theory against the observed behaviour of employers and employees in different labour market environments. It is based on an empirical investigation of engineering plants both in major conurbations and in smaller labour market areas. There is an emphasis on measurement and quantification, which provides a fund of information on such subjects as wage structures, labour turnover, recruitment and mobility, internal labour markets, manpower forecasting, apprentice training and redundancy. The authors outline the weaknesses of applying economic theory to labour market behaviour.

Labour Markets Under Different Employment Conditions

The definitive biography of American suffragist and women’s rights pioneer Elizabeth Cady Stanton, from a preeminent historian of women’s suffrage “The life of Elizabeth Cady Stanton still has much to teach us. The invented prisons of race, sex, and class are still with us, but learning about successful past struggles against them can help to equalize the future.”&nbsp;—Gloria Steinem Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a singular leader, thinker, and organizer whose fight for women’s emancipation stretched from the 1840s to her death in 1902, a full fifth of America’s history. Yet her legacy has been marked by controversy. In this landmark biography, eminent historian Ellen Carol DuBois paints a fresh portrait of this complex crusader whose tireless work made contemporary feminism possible.&nbsp; &nbsp; Born in 1815 into a family deeply marked by the tumult of the American Revolution and surging evangelicalism, Stanton was captivated by Enlightenment ideas about individual freedom and transformed by early experiences in what she called “the school of antislavery.” Though most remembered for her fight for the vote, she was also an early crusader for women’s reproductive autonomy and reforming the institution of marriage, and against Christianity’s subordination of women. Her rifts with Black reformers and embrace of nativist ideas tarnished her reputation, but her words still have the ability to move and agitate people today.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Building upon exhaustive archival research and a deep engagement with Stanton’s copious writings, Elizabeth Cady Stanton brilliantly captures a crucial reformer in all of her intelligence, moral ambiguity, and power.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
