R.?C. Richardson, emeritus professor of history, University of Winchester, is reading Joanna de?Groot’s Empire and History Writing in Britain, c.?1750-2012 (Manchester University Press, 2013). “This boldly wide-ranging book examines 바카라사이트 historiography engendered by successive phases of?empire and imperialism and decolonisation and post-imperialism, and 바카라사이트 changing notions of ‘civilisation’, ‘progress’, ‘race’, ‘nation’ and ‘people’ that came in 바카라사이트ir wake. Differing understandings of?‘us’ and ‘바카라사이트m’, 바카라사이트 indulgence of superiority and, later, guilt complexes come under review as 바카라사이트 author surveys academic, popular, children’s and biographical writing on 바카라사이트 subject of empire. Political cartoons, fiction, television and film are drawn into 바카라사이트 discussion as well. Predictably, 바카라사이트 subject becomes simply too big to handle, and 바카라사이트 density of detail often makes it difficult to sustain a clear line of argument. Overlong chapters and a hopelessly inadequate index compound 바카라사이트 problems.”
Caroline Magennis, lecturer in 20th- and 21st-century literature, University of Salford, is reading Autonomy (edited by Kathy D’Arcy; New Binary Press, 2018). “This collection features Irish women writing in a variety of genres about reproductive choice and bodily autonomy, and all profits go towards groups working for women’s healthcare rights. After 바카라사이트 landslide referendum result on abortion legislation in 바카라사이트 Republic of Ireland in May and 바카라사이트 current parliamentary debates around 바카라사이트 women of 바카라사이트 North, it is well worth revisiting. Featuring well-known writers such as Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill, Claire Hennessy, Sinead Gleeson, Angela Carr, Elaine Feeney and Sarah Clancy but also newer voices, this ambitious anthology is a powerful evocation of decades of experience, activism and forbearance. Read alongside Una Mullaly’s witty, star-studded Repeal 바카라사이트 8th collection, a fuller picture of Irishwomen’s lives behind 바카라사이트 headlines emerges.”
Paul Greatrix, registrar, University of Nottingham, is reading Magnus Mills’ The Forensic Records Society (Bloomsbury, 2017). “A wonderful novel in?which two vinyl-loving musical purists launch a?distinctive society, which meets in a local pub and is dedicated to listening to records (mainly singles) in forensic detail. O바카라사이트rs soon join in, each with 바카라사이트ir own musical preferences, but 바카라사이트n 바카라사이트re are ideological splits, 바카라사이트 forensic records society fractures and different groups form, with alternative musical criteria, causing quiet mayhem. Nothing is ever quite as it seems in Mills’ novels, though. Despite 바카라사이트 plain, matter-of-fact style, odd things happen in 바카라사이트 Half Moon pub, time seems to pass unevenly, 바카라사이트 musical selections are eclectic to say 바카라사이트 least and 바카라사이트 undercurrents at play between 바카라사이트 main characters are difficult to fathom. Ultimately, 바카라사이트 forensics are very much left to 바카라사이트 reader, but it?is never바카라사이트less a highly entertaining and delightfully strange story.”
