An impassioned defence of Black excellence in the arts.

Kanneh-Mason K: To Be Young, Gifted and
Black

To Be Young, Gifted and Black

Considering evidence from a range of contemporary societies this book explores themes such as whether there is an emergence of new forms of identification based on ethnicity and religion. It also explores the ways in which wider processes of change generate problems for modern societies, and undermine the frameworks through which people relate to institutions, each other and themselves. At a time when Britain and America, amongst other countries, are experiencing intense anxieties about managing social and cultural diversity in a multiethnic society, this book will make particularly compelling reading. It will appeal to students and scholars across the social sciences, particularly those with interests in race and ethnicity, social inequalities, community and identity.

Understanding Ethnic and Racial Identity

Where slaves became drag queens - and changed the world

The House of Swann

A paradigm-shifting exploration of the politics of health around the world, by an award-winning scientist “Zaman’s optimism . . . is welcome. . . . His sense of urgency is irresistible.” —The Wall Street Journal&nbsp;on Muhammad H. Zaman’s&nbsp;The Biography of Resistance In this groundbreaking new book, award-winning scientist and author Muhammad H. Zaman delves into the history of infectious disease and related policies in the United States since the dawn of germ theory, from cholera and meningitis to the recent COVID crisis, to show how vulnerable communities have been harmed in the name of research or disease control.
Infected is the epic story of compromised doctors, politicians, and the heroes who challenged them. Zaman shows that exclusionary immigration acts, the Tuskegee syphilis experiments, the development of biological weapons, the fake vaccination campaign in Pakistan, and the rhetoric around the COVID-19 pandemic are all parts of the same deeper story—one of medical science intertwined with power and politics.
This is a story that continues today, in poor nations that have long been impacted by foreign policy, and at the borders, where asylum seekers are denied lifesaving medicines regardless of the party in power. Melding science and history, Infected presents infection as a key to understanding our recent past, present, and future.

His sense of urgency is irresistible.” —The Wall Street Journal&nbsp;on Muhammad H. Zaman’s&nbsp;The Biography of Resistance In this groundbreaking new book, award-winning scientist Muhammad H. Zaman—an expert on how disease affects vulnerable communities—delves into the history of U.S. epidemics, from the earliest cases of syphilis, cholera, and smallpox to AIDS and the recent COVID crisis, to show how the country’s response (or lack thereof) to infectious disease in America is part of a critical, time-tested strategy in America’s toolbox of oppression of the weak, the poor, and the non-white.In the vein of Rebecca Skloot’s&nbsp;The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks&nbsp;and Dorothy Roberts’s&nbsp;Fatal Invention,&nbsp;Infected&nbsp;is the epic story of white supremacists, compromised doctors, racist politicians, and the heroes who challenged them. Zaman shows that exclusionary immigration acts, the Tuskegee syphilis experiments, the development of biological weapons, the early response to the AIDS epidemic, the fake CIA vaccination campaign in Pakistan, and the xenophobic rhetoric sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic are all parts of the same deeper story—one of medical science twisted in the service of social control.This is a story that continues today, on Native American reservations, in foreign zones occupied by the U.S. military, and on our borders, where asylum seekers are denied lifesaving medicines. Melding cutting-edge science and history,&nbsp;Infected&nbsp;presents infection as a key to understanding our recent past, present, and future.

In many European states, multiculturalism has recently come under attack, being openly questioned by many in both the public and political spaces as being in 'crisis'. Prompting many of these attacks have been incidents or events - typically interpreted as 'controversies' - that have involved or centred on issues relating to Muslims or Islam. Having ramifications in the social, cultural or political spaces, many have seen these controversies as accentuating the 'problem' of Muslims and Islam. Focusing on a number of these 'crises' and 'controversies', this book seeks to to interrogate the theories of Islamophobia through the lens of a series of different 'crises and controversies' that have involved - or have been perceived as involving - Muslims or Islam. This book critically engages these 'crises and controversies' through the framework of the definitions, theories and concepts explored in the author's earlier book Islamophobia? (Ashgate, 2010). Allen's latest boo sets out to: better understand where, how and why the responses of both the right, left and centre of the European political spectrum are seemingly converging in views and attitudes towards Muslims and Islam; contribute additional knowledge to the still relatively under-researched yet extremely timely phenomenon of Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hatred; and consider how this links to and affects attitudes and expressions manifested in the public and social spaces. Employing a largely thematic approach, this book focuses on the linked impacts of a range of different controversies that have occurred at the local, national and regional levels. These include: Invasion and Islamification - Eurabia and the Islamic Invasion; Physical and Material - minarets and mosques; Culture and 'Our Way of Life' - between us and them; Values and Freedoms - veils, hijabs and niqabs; Speech and Offence - cartoons and caricatures; Terrorism and Threat - 'home-grown bombers' to exter

New Perspectives on Islamophobia

Ashgate Popular and Folk Music Series

Adrian Scahill's seminal study traces the evolution of the accompaniment of instrumental Irish traditional music from its roots in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to the highly refined and classicized music of the contemporary tradition. A key theme of the text is that the hybridity evident in accompaniment is not novel in itself, but related to the hybrid nature of the melodic tradition. The book is structured in two parts: the first concentrates on printed sources; the second on the recorded repertoire. The central objective of the book is to focus on accompaniment as part of the 'primary text' (to borrow from Allan F. Moore) of instrumental traditional music. It considers how the development of accompanimental techniques is closely related to changing musical styles and performance contexts, and reveals that these techniques are created through a process of assemblage, which draws on a wide range of musical sources from both inside and outside the tradition.

Adrian Scahill's seminal study traces the evolution of the accompaniment of instrumental Irish traditional music from its roots in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to the highly refined and classicized music of the contemporary tradition. A key theme of the text is that the hybridity evident in accompaniment is not novel in itself, but related to the hybrid nature of the melodic tradition. The book is structured in two parts: the first concentrates on printed sources; the second on the recorded repertoire.  Part one considers printed sources of Irish music from the eighteenth century, where the addition of accompaniment was a result of the music's translation from an oral to a literate form. However, the construction of these accompaniments did not simply involve a superimposition of pianistic textures, but incorporated elements from the accompanimental practices of harp and uilleann pipes players. It was also in this period that a repertory of dance music began to crystallize, with printed collections facilitating the assimilation of music from Britain. Scahill investigates the antiquarian collections of the nineteenth century, revealing how the inclusion of accompaniment was a constituent of the preservation of the music, and was perceived by the collectors as a natural extension of the tunes.   The second part of the book traces the development of the first formal ensemble of traditional music, the céilÃ­ band, in which the piano came to prominence. At the same time in the United States, the instrument was widely used on 78 rpm recordings, both for solo and small group recordings, and was an essential part of the Irish-American dance band. It was also in America that the palette of accompanying instruments was first broadened, with the assimilation of guitar and banjo by some musicians for recordings. The scope of the book broadens in its investigation of the most recent ensemble to emerge, the traditional group, as here accompaniment became just one facet of arrangement, and several new instruments and techniques became quickly established within the form. Here again the study reveals how the groups' distinctive sounds and styles result from processes of assemblage or bricolage. The final portion of the book shifts in focus away from the musical text and onto the performer, and draws on the author's experience as a musician in its investigation of the process of accompanying, examining how the contemporary 'backer' creates an accompaniment in the course of performance.

Anthem Studies in Gothic Literature

Nuclear Gothic investigates the previously unexplored congruities that lie between gothic forms and modes and nuclear cultures and techno-sciences; it aims to read Western nuclear fictions in relation to their Japanese counterparts and through a cohesive critical framework that examines atomic processes, nuclear fictions and specific historical and cultural moments.

Widely recognized as the most innovative and influential Japanese group since the Second World War, Yellow Magic Orchestra (YMO) is seeing a revival among music listeners around the world, along with the works of its three members: Academy Award-winning composer Sakamoto Ryuichi, Hosono Haruomi as the central figure of the Japanese "city pop" revival, and Takahashi Yukihiro, who plays drums for METAFIVE with Towa Tei and Oyamada Keigo (Cornelius). This is the first book in English on Yellow Magic Orchestra, positioning its first album as the nexus of jazz fusion, new wave, and hip hop music. YMO's debut album provides a lens on transpacific dialogue on technology, race, and intellectual history. Examining the cultural negotiations between African American and Japanese musicians since the 1970s, this book considers the album as a nascent work of Afro-Asian futurism.

Routledge IAFFE Advances in Feminist Economics

Black women in the United States have often been the subject of negative stereotypes, which have distorted perceptions of their unique work history and the challenges that they have faced in providing for their families. Black Women in the U.S. Economy: The Hardest Working Woman challenges the popular rhetoric about black women by presenting an empirical analysis of their labor market experiences and the critical role that black women play in providing for and sustaining their families and communities. The book explores the multiple identities, roles, and experiences of black women in the U.S. economy, addressing issues including their contribution to the social economy, how they have been affected by U.S economic restructuring, and the impact of increasing economic inequality on the wellbeing of black women and children.

Black women in the United States have often been the subject of negative stereotypes, which have distorted perceptions of their unique work history and the challenges that they have faced in providing for their families. Black Women in the U.S. Economy: The Hardest Working Woman challenges the popular rhetoric about black women by presenting an empirical analysis of their labor market experiences and the critical role that black women play in providing for and sustaining their families and communities. The authors use a Black Feminist framework along with applied microeconomics and econometrics in order to understand the multiple identities, roles, and experiences of black women in the U.S. economy. The book’s multi-dimensional analysis covers issues including black women’s contribution to the social economy, how economic restructuring in the U.S. has impacted on black women, and how declining wages since the 1970s have led to economic inequality and the impact that this has had on the wellbeing of black women and children. All chapters situate their analysis of the economic status of black women within the context of market forces, social relations among counter-groups, and political economy. This groundbreaking study will be essential reading for all those with an interest in Economics, Women’s Studies, Africana Studies and Sociology.

Routledge Research in Museum Studies

Over the past few years an increasing number of museums have experimented with social media to demonstrate that they are listening and engaging in the world outside. While a number of new publications describe the rise of social media as a potential panacea for dwindling audiences, this book is unique in its recognition that participation has not, for the most part, affected the majority of museum practices. Using a number of global examples to describe and map the ways in which social media has been explored within communication programs, authors Russo and Kelly offer a window into the challenges which face future communication strategies and curatorial practices within museums. In this way new essential lessons for museum professionals, museum studies students, and potential collaborators are made accessible.

Over the past few years an increasing number of museums have experimented with social media to demonstrate that they are listening and engaging in the world outside. While a number of new publications describe the rise of social media as a potential panacea for dwindling audiences, this book is unique in its recognition that participation has not, for the most part, affected the majority of museum practices. Participation programs have certainly been introduced to a number of museums and as this book will show, some have been tremendously successful. Yet, for the most part, participation has been limited and the bulk of engagement has tended to be around new forms of publication from within rather than discussions with diverse audiences. Based on research conducted with international museums over the past 6 years, this book explores three key areas: engagement, participation, and co-creation as the keystones for understanding the value of the "social" museum. Using a number of global examples to describe and map the ways in which social media has been explored within communication programs, authors Russo and Kelly offer a window into the challenges which face future communication strategies and curatorial practices within museums. This book develops models for new partnerships, based on critical analysis of both the impact of social media and evaluations of some of the most successful examples in the sector to date. In this way new essential lessons for museum professionals, museum studies students, and potential collaborators are made accessible.
