Download or read book The Colour Dilemma: Britain Through Foreign Eyes written by Janice Ball and published by Parkwall Press. This book was released on 2021-10-04 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The colour and racism problems as seen through a pair of foreign eyes. This book covers sensitive areas of race relations in Britain and foils them against similar situations in Malaysia and elsewhere in the world. The author proposes compromise, self-scrutiny, and an understanding of the past, using it not as a tether but as a springboard towards a better future. What do you think of the following? Read the book and make up your own mind. More and more, I find British Whites being apologetic for the colour of their skin and for their history. And conversely, more and more people of Colour blame their lack of success in life also on the colour of their skin and on their history. Sometimes, we can curtail our own progress by being too conscious of our colour, or looks, or accents, or lack of education, or of our social background. Playing the shame and blame game, though emotionally satisfying, is not conducive to a happy society of equal partners. It leaves all parties suspicious of intent and less willing to co-operate. Just because someone does not like or even cringe from the colour of our skin does not make him racist. Racism is when someone targets, voices and acts out his hate, his ill intention, his desire to annihilate a particular ethnic group, whatever the colour or religious conviction, and irrespective of their virtues or character. Some ancient empires existed so far in the past that they have taken on the aura of legends and romance, especially if they are Middle-Eastern or Central Asian. But, because the British Empire is within our memory, British Whites today have taken on the role of the whipping boy. Don't stir up the foul dust of yesterday to blind us to the path towards a better future. Instead of 'THEY' in every argument, in every issue under scrutiny, and in our social life, please let us consider the strength in 'WE'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Foreigners have been writing about the United States ever since its foundation. Now it is my turn. But please don't hold this against me: the United States itself is at fault. Like a great many people on earth, I've long been fascinated by this remarkable phenomenon which calls itself America. My fate -or perhaps good fortune- has been that of a foreigner who for half a century lived the American experience-as a child, as a student, as an author, as a recurrent visitor and as a university professor. Being Mexican places me in a special category: having lost half its territory to the United States in the 19th century, having found itself caught up in the maelstrom of America's current identity crisis, Mexico can never ignore what happens north of the border. Further, while serving as Mexico's Foreign Minister from 2000 to 2003, I had the privilege of peeping inside the machinery of power that makes this great nation tick. That said, this book is not written from a Mexican perspective but rather from that of a sympathetic foreign critic who has seen the United States from both inside and outside. And its hope is to contribute something to how Americans view themselves and are viewed by the world. Before embarking on this journey, I naturally looked back at some of my forebears, earlier foreigners who were drawn to visit or live in the United States and who then went on to offer their version of America to their home readers. Some like the French traveler Alexis de Tocqueville, author of the early 19th century classic, Democracy in America, felt European nations had much to learn from the American democratic experiment. Others like Charles Dickens left dismayed by what he considered to be the country's singular obsession with money. But they are just two of dozens who have tried-and continue to try- to find a magic key that unlocks the complexities and contradictions of American society. Indeed, it is as if the United States seeks to challenge foreign writers to explain it, confident they will fail. And in taking it on, these outsiders have variously experienced frustration, hope, anger, excitement, disappointment and enlightenment- but never indifference"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the intimate connections between Britain and China throughout the nineteenth century and argues for China's central impact on the British visual imagination. Chang brings together an unusual group of primary sources to investigate how nineteenth-century Britons looked at and represented Chinese people, places, and things, and how, in the process, ethnographic, geographic, and aesthetic representations of China shaped British writers' and artists' vision of their own lives and experiences. For many Britons, China was much more than a geographical location; it was also a way of seeing and being seen that could be either embraced as creative inspiration or rejected as contagious influence. In both cases, the idea of China's visual difference stood in negative contrast to Britain's evolving sense of the visual and literary real. To better grasp what Romantic and Victorian writers, artists, and architects were doing at home, we must also understand the foreign "objects" found in their midst and what they were looking at abroad.
