Book Synopsis Scouse, Choppers & Space Hoppers - A Liverpool Life of Happy Days and Hard Times by : Crissy Rock
Download or read book Scouse, Choppers & Space Hoppers - A Liverpool Life of Happy Days and Hard Times written by Crissy Rock and published by Kings Road Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-06 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A VIBRANT MEMOIR OF A CHILDHOOD IN THE HEART OF LIVERPOOL The sixties: a new dawn for Britain - a kaleidoscopic crossroads where social upheaval, artistic revolution and excitement for the future rubbed up against urban poverty, inequality and post-war recovery. For comedian Crissy Rock, born in 1958, the following two decades would be the backdrop for a childhood and youth full of adventure, turbulence and discovery, with the city of Liverpool her crucible. In this evocative and nostalgic memoir, Crissy recalls, with extraordinary clarity, growing up in working-class Liverpool, in an era when traditional values of community, family and hard work still counted for everything, even as bold changes in culture, fashion and music swept through the city. In a series of snapshots, she paints a vivid picture of an iconic place in a revolutionary time: from a world of playing by the docks and in the tenements, to the rise of mods and rockers, Beatlemania and dancing in the Cavern Club, and the birth of all-consuming crazes like space hoppers and miniskirts. Written with all Crissy's trademark wit and honesty, Scouse, Choppers & Space Hoppers is at once a nostalgic recollection of a rough-and tumble working-class sixties and seventies childhood, and a celebration of Liverpool itself - a fond glimpse into the heartbeat of the North West from one of its best-loved daughters.
Book Synopsis Cartographies of Diaspora by : Avtar Brah
Download or read book Cartographies of Diaspora written by Avtar Brah and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-08-18 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By addressing questions of culture, identity and politics, Cartographies of Diaspora throws new light on discussions about `difference' and `diversity', informed by feminism and post-structuralism. It examines these themes by exploring the intersections of `race', gender, class, sexuality, ethnicity, generation and nationalism in different discourses, practices and political contexts. The first three chapters map the emergence of `Asian' as a racialized category in post-war British popular and political discourse and state practices. It documents Asian cultural and political responses paying particular attention to the role of gender and generation. The remaining six chapters analyse the debate on `difference', `diversity' and `diaspora' across different sites, but mainly within feminism, anti-racism, and post-structuralism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an evocative memoir of Liverpool in the summer of 1969, as seen through the eyes of eleven-year-old Deejay.

Deejay intends to be the next in a long line of dairy farmers and sets about learning as much as he can about the family business. However, unbeknown to him, plans are already being made for the elder members of the family to retire and for the business to be sold.Amusing and entertaining, surprising and sometimes moving, Deejay’s account vividly captures one boy’s growing appreciation of the family history that preceded him and a growing understanding of his place in the world. Key to that understanding is the very special relationship that can exist between a boy and his dad.
Book Synopsis Class and Everyday Life by : Kirsteen Paton
Download or read book Class and Everyday Life written by Kirsteen Paton and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-29 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the issues of class through in-depth studies of housing, sport, art, music and politics in Britain, Class and Everyday Life persuasively demonstrates the pervasive influence of class on everyday life and the need to centre a radical understanding of class within emancipatory political movements. The need for a more expansive understanding of class is politically urgent. There is a disconnect between descriptive and analytical approaches to class and the politics of class and realities around how class is lived. Discourse has been shaped by top-down frameworks of analysis and measurements which have stripped the study of class of its political radicalism. This book makes the case for a sociology of class which is informed by a politics of class, based upon using the everyday as the point of enquiry. It presents a sociology of class from the bottom-up which focuses on everyday life and the point at which class is made and remade. In doing so, it advocates for an attentiveness to class and everyday life through a conjunctural analysis. Using an everyday lens, this book examines how the shifting conjunctures manifest in everyday spaces in classed ways and how such changes are negotiated, resisted and shape the working-class subject and communities. This is based upon an understanding of everyday classed experiences which identifies and challenges inequalities while also recognising value and hope. This perspective aims to offer a recognition of both the opportunities and challenges of class as a way of developing a stronger, more politicised understanding of class which takes solidarity and class community power seriously to resist inequality and develop emancipatory politics. This urgent and impassioned book will be essential reading for students, academics and activists with an interest in the lived experience of class in Britain today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There's far more to British food than fish and chips. Discover the history and culture of Great Britain through its rich culinary traditions. Part of the Global Kitchen series, this book takes readers on a food tour of Great Britain, covering everything from daily staples to holiday specialties. In addition to discovering Great Britain's long culinary history, you'll learn about recent trends, foreign influences, and contemporary food and dietary concerns, such as obesity and the impacts of climate change. Chapters are organized thematically, making it easy to focus in on particular courses or types of dishes. The main text is supplemented by sidebars that offer interesting bite-sized facts, a chronology of important dates in British culinary history, and a glossary of key food- and dining-related terms. When people outside Great Britain think of British cuisine, they likely envision iconic foods and traditions such as fish and chips, a full English breakfast, and afternoon tea. But Great Britain has a much richer and more diverse culinary history. It has been shaped by a myriad of events, from invasions by the Romans, Vikings, and Normans to the emergence and expansion of the British Empire to the privations of World War II. In more recent times, Great Britain's departure from the European Union, the global Covid-19 pandemic, and Russia's invasion of Ukraine have all had a significant impact on the food landscape of Great Britain.
Book Synopsis Young Stalin by : Simon Sebag Montefiore
Download or read book Young Stalin written by Simon Sebag Montefiore and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2008-10-14 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of The Romanovs—and one of our pre-eminent historians—comes “a meticulously researched, authoritative biography” (The New York Times), the companion volume to the prize-winning Stalin, and essential reading for anyone interested in Russian history. This revelatory account unveils how Stalin became Stalin, examining his shadowy journey from obscurity to power—from master historian Simon Sebag Montefiore. Based on ten years of research, Young Stalin is a brilliant prehistory of the USSR, a chronicle of the Revolution, and an intimate biography. Montefiore tells the story of a charismatic, darkly turbulent boy born into poverty, scarred by his upbringing but possessed of unusual talents. Admired as a romantic poet and trained as a priest, he found his true mission as a murderous revolutionary. Here is the dramatic story of his friendships and hatreds, his many love affairs, his complicated relationship with the Tsarist secret police, and how he became the merciless politician who shaped the Soviet Empire in his own brutal image.
Book Synopsis Keeping Up With the Germans by : Philip Oltermann
Download or read book Keeping Up With the Germans written by Philip Oltermann and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2012-01-31 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1996, in the middle of watching an ill-tempered football match between England and Germany, Philip Oltermann's parents tell him that they are going to leave their home city Hamburg behind and move to London. Inspired by his own experience of both countries, Philip Oltermann looks at eight historical encounters between English and German people from the last two hundred years: Helmut Kohl tries to explain German cuisine to the Iron Lady, the Mini plays catch-up with the Volkswagen Beetle, and Joe Strummer has an unlikely brush with the Baader-Meinhof gang. Keeping Up with the Germans is a witty look at the lighter-side of Anglo-German relations over the last 100 years.

Book Synopsis Sociolinguistic Reflexes of Dialect Interference in West Wirral by : Mark Newbrook
Download or read book Sociolinguistic Reflexes of Dialect Interference in West Wirral written by Mark Newbrook and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 1986 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies of the phonology of urban language varieties in the Labovian vein have generally concentrated on structural and statistical differentiation along the «standard»-«non-standard» dimension. In this work the author reports the results of an attempt to apply the relevant methodology and theory to a more complex situation involving the encroachment of an extraneous vernacular on a formerly rural area in England where prestige standard forms are also well represented. The dialectological findings are described in some detail, and innovatory perspectives on various methodological and theoretical issues are developed.
