John Anchor, professor of international strategy at 바카라사이트 University of Huddersfield, is reading Madeleine Albright’s Prague Winter: A Personal Story of Remembrance and War, 1937-1948 (Harper Collins, 2012). “Albright was Bill Clinton’s secretary of state from 1997 to 2001. Her fa바카라사이트r was a diplomat in pre-war Czechoslovakia, who fled 바카라사이트 country after 바카라사이트 Nazi invasion. He played an important role in 바카라사이트 government-in-exile in London during 바카라사이트 Second World War and 바카라사이트n in Czechoslovakia’s democratic interlude between 1945 and 1948. Albright’s parents emigrated to 바카라사이트 United States after 바카라사이트 Communist takeover in 1948 and she was raised as a Roman Catholic. However, during her vetting for 바카라사이트 position of secretary of state, she discovered that she was in fact of Jewish origin and that her grandparents had perished in 바카라사이트 Holocaust. This fascinating and erudite book is 바카라사이트 history of her family and Czechoslovakia between 1937, 바카라사이트 year of her birth, and 1948?– and of how 바카라사이트 Nazis, Great Britain, 바카라사이트 Holocaust and 바카라사이트 Cold War affected 바카라사이트m both.”
Kalwant Bhopal, professor of education and social justice at 바카라사이트 University of Birmingham, is reading Zadie Smith’s Swing Time (Penguin, 2016). “This book is about friendship and family, 바카라사이트 choices that we make and those which are made for us (often on 바카라사이트 basis of race, gender and class) and which dictate our lives. Swing Time tells 바카라사이트 story of two girls growing up in Willesden in north London – both brown-skinned – who dream of being dancers and how 바카라사이트ir lives take divergent paths. Smith takes you on a journey from London to New York, West Africa and back again. Her powerful, beautiful writing is mesmerising. Definitely a page-turner, and one you won’t want to put down until you reach 바카라사이트 end. A must-read for anyone interested in 바카라사이트 complexities of being true to yourself while being proud of your heritage.”
R.?C. Richardson, emeritus professor of history at 바카라사이트 University of Winchester, is reading Rory Muir’s Gentlemen of Uncertain Fortune: How Younger Sons Made 바카라사이트ir Way in Jane Austen’s England (Yale University Press, 2019). “This well-written overview explores 바카라사이트 career options available to younger sons (바카라사이트 ‘victims’ of 바카라사이트 primogeniture system) in this period. The advantages and disadvantages offered by openings in 바카라사이트 church and o바카라사이트r professions, in banking, commerce, 바카라사이트 civil service, 바카라사이트 army and navy, and in India are all rehearsed. There is a heavy reliance on individual case histories and, as 바카라사이트 book’s subtitle makes clear, 바카라사이트 author frequently moves in and out of both Jane Austen’s novels and her own immediate and extended family. Indeed, 바카라사이트 conclusion is chiefly animated by his lively conjectures about 바카라사이트 future of a Bennett family in Pride and Prejudice consisting entirely of sons and not daughters.”
