Book Synopsis The Politics of Heritage by : Jo Littler
Download or read book The Politics of Heritage written by Jo Littler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-12-17 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While 'social inclusion' and 'cultural diversity' circulate frenetically as buzzwords, are we really ready to accept that ideas about 'race' and 'ethnicity', rather than being a peripheral concern, are at the core of how a nation's heritage is represented and imagined? This book interrogates just whose past gets to count as part of 'British heritage'. Bringing together a wide range of contributors, including academics, practitioners, policy makers and curators, it examines how many different of types of heritage - from football to stately homes, experience attractions to education - deal with the complex legacies of the idea of 'race'. Whether exploring the fallout of colonialism, the domination of 'England' over the other three nations, holocaust memorials, or the way British heritage is negotiated overseas, a recurring theme of this book is the need to accept that Britain has always been a place of shifting ethnicities, shaped by waves of migration, diaspora and globalization. Analyzing both theory and practice, this book is concerned with understanding the processes through which changes to heritage happens, and with exploring problems and possibilities for the future.
Book Synopsis Tales of the Tartan Army by : Ian Black
Download or read book Tales of the Tartan Army written by Ian Black and published by Mainstream Publishing Company. This book was released on 1998 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tales of the Tartan Army is a glimpse into the occasionally surreal and often all-too-real ranks of a platoon of footsoldiers in the great and bravehearted Army's search to find a team to follow which is worthy of their support. These are the rampant guys and rare gals that you see screaming their allegiance in stadiums around the world, from Mexico to Croatia, via Iceland and Spain, usually imprisoned in a postage-stamp-sized section of the ground behind razor-wire, snarling security forces and killer dogs. These are the people who make Scotland famous the world over for their warmth, generosity and capacity for strong drink. They'll make you laugh and maybe once or twice they'll make you shed a furtive tear. Their clan slogan is 'We'll support you ever more! F*** the score!'. And once you've read about them, you'll want to join them. You'll be welcome.

Download or read book We Can Boogie written by Scott Burns and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2024-06-06 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-three long years, 276 tortous months, 1,196 despairing weeks – it's a long time in the wilderness . . . After a string of household names failed to deliver, the Tartan Army's foot soliders finally found a leader who could turn their fortunes round. On his appointment in 2019, former Chelsea stalwart Steve Clarke faced an enormous challenge – but under him nothing feels beyond Scotland's grasp. With the experience of Euro 2020 under his belt and time spent moulding a team capable of going toe to toe with the world's finest, Euro 2024 represents another major milestone. This book looks behind the scenes of Scotland's remarkable rise and tells the story of the man who has led the revival and how he has transformed the squad. Former teammates and coaching colleagues lend their voices alongside an all-star cast of past and present Hampden favourites in a tale of triumph and hope.
Download or read book Union Jock written by Aidan Smith and published by Random House. This book was released on 2008-11-21 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: July 30, 1966. Bobby Moore is lifting the Jules Rimet trophy, Denis Law is playing golf, and a young boy in Edinburgh is being taught the most important lesson of his life: no matter who England are playing, you support the other lot. If the opposition have a dodgy human rights record, or are cruel to wasps, or can't even be located on a large-format map - too bad. You support the other lot. Forty years on, and Aidan Smith has done a pretty good job of supporting the other lot. But these days he should be old enough, and ugly enough, to be above petty, playground-formed sporting squabbles. Besides, the World Cup is coming, Scotland haven't made it, and he's about to marry an Englishwoman. Maybe it's a sign. But can a Scotsman ever cheer for 'Ingerland'? In Union Jock, Aidan Smith investigates the age-old England-Scotland emnity, both on and off the football field. The Scots may have suffered at the hands of the Auld Enemy for centuries - Braveheart, Culloden, Jimmy Hill calling David Narey's goal a "toe-poke" (against Brazil in the 1982 World Cup, top right-hand corner) - but now they're a nation on the rise, with a spanking new parliament to prove it. But what do the fans, players, politicians, and Sassenach invaders really think about their English neighbours? Would supporting England be a denial of their Scottishness? Join Aidan Smith on his quest to put an end to centuries of not-so-friendly rivalry. That's if the Scots don't get him first. Or the English.
Book Synopsis Sporting Scots by : John K. V. Eunson
Download or read book Sporting Scots written by John K. V. Eunson and published by Black & White Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04-18 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1860 the first ever golf 'major' was held in Prestwick - a man from East Lothian won. In 1871 the first ever rugby international in the world took place in Edinburgh - Scotland won. In 1872 the first ever association football international in the world was hosted in Glasgow - it was a draw. All three of these momentous events in the history of sport - even if they did not seem that way at the time - were held in Scotland, and for the next century and more Scottish sporting men and women were pioneers in the growth of sport around the world. "Sporting Scots" tells the incredible stories of the Scots who brought sport to the globe and transformed the histories of golf, football, rugby, athletics, ice hockey, cricket, swimming, baseball, cycling, motor racing and many other sports in the process. It is also the modern history of the Scots abroad as they left the Auld Country far behind them for fame or fortune or for simple economic necessity and left a lasting sporting legacy around the globe.
Book Synopsis Who Cares Who’S 3Rd? by : John Philips
Download or read book Who Cares Who’S 3Rd? written by John Philips and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-07-05 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What lies herein defies my description; better that you judge for yourself....at the very reasonable price, below. Nor can Wikipedia and Whos Who shed light on the authors credentials - billboard superlatives and famous fan endorsements dont exist to persuade you further (hence the room at the bottom). Fruitless too, searching for your name in the index: there isnt one. Either invest, out of curiosity, or opt for James Pattersons next (guaranteed) best-selling page-turner (left a bit...along the row of Ps). Nice Guys Finish Last and Always the Bridesmaid had been done (in words...to music), and though Who cares whos 3rd isnt original (nor the theme, really), its front cover should tell you that this is about sport on the telly, basically - from Mexico City (and Bob Beamon), to the Greater London Urban Area (and Usain Bolt, youd imagine). Those whove helped make it my journey of a lifetime are the real architects. John Philips

Book Synopsis Penthouse and Pavement by : Bill Leckie
Download or read book Penthouse and Pavement written by Bill Leckie and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-01-06 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Penthouse and Pavement is not a book for glory-hunters. It is a book about pain. It's about the anguish of watching your team lose 9-2 in the very first game you ever saw, about the horrible inevitability of defeat that so many feel so often. It's about despair, dismay and black, frightening, deathly gloom. But it's also about hope. About dreams. And about dreams which sometimes, just sometimes, come true. Like the once-in-a-lifetime ecstasy of winning the Cup or a league. And as anyone who's had that moment-of-a-lifetime knows, the joy is even greater because you've known the pain. For Bill Leckie, who has followed St Mirren since 1964, it all became worthwhile when they won the Scottish Cup in 1987. This book is about these clubs and the people who love them. It's about the kind of fan who doesn't go to games expecting to win . . . or, worse, demanding it. This book is about being willing to accept a lifetime of frustration in return for one day of utter wonderment.
Book Synopsis Yiddish Civilisation by : Paul Kriwaczek
Download or read book Yiddish Civilisation written by Paul Kriwaczek and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Kriwaczek begins this illuminating and immensely pleasurable chronicle of Yiddish civilization during the Roman empire, when Jewish culture first spread to Europe. We see the burgeoning exile population disperse, as its notable diplomats, artists and thinkers make their mark in far-flung cities and found a self-governing Yiddish world. By its late-medieval heyday, this economically successful, intellectually adventurous, and self-aware society stretched from the Baltic to the Black Sea. Kriwaczek traces, too, the slow decline of Yiddish culture in Europe and Russia, and highlights fresh offshoots in the New World.Combining family anecdote, travelogue, original research, and a keen understanding of Yiddish art and literature, Kriwaczek gives us an exceptional portrait of a culture which, though nearly extinguished, has an influential radiance still.

On the attack in Belfast, Mack Bolan speaks the only language the terrorists can understand: harassment and attrition. In another holding action in his everlasting war against the savages, Bolan is about to remove the Sword of Erin from his hit list ... permanently."--Back cover
