Dacia Maraini's Narratives of Survival (Re)Constructed

Dacia Maraini's Narratives of Survival (Re)Constructed
Tommasina Gabriele, "Dacia Maraini's Narratives of Survival: (Re)Constructed"
English | 2015 | pages: 186 | ISBN: 1611478812 | PDF | 2,8 mb
Dacia Maraini's Narratives of Survival: (Re)Constructed focuses on Dacia Maraini's narrative from about 1984 to 2004 and makes substantive use of her interviews and essays. While acknowledging the importance and ongoing validity of feminist scholarship of Maraini's work, this book seeks to take scholarship on Maraini beyond feminist readings by identifying a critical framework that cuts across gender and genre and thereby invites alternative readings. Using a method of close textual analysis, the author includes studies of men, children, animals, and imaginary characters in Maraini's narrative, analyzes language, character, motifs, and symbols, and considers some of Maraini's work in light of declining postmodern and emerging posthuman critical social theory.

DANGEROUS VOYAGING BRITISH MERCHANT SEAMEN AT WAR 1939-1945
Ian M. Malcolm, "DANGEROUS VOYAGING: BRITISH MERCHANT SEAMEN AT WAR 1939-1945"
English | 2014 | ASIN: B00GDM3EWA | EPUB | pages: 120 | 0.3 mb
Dangerous Voyaging shows what it was like to be at sea during the Second World War: particularly in the early years when the u-boats had the upper hand and naval escorts were in such short supply that the merchant ships had little or no protection. And, if this weren't bad enough, a seaman's wages stopped when his ship was sunk; on the grounds that he had ceased working for his employer.

Cultures of Violence Lynching and Racial Killing in South Africa and the American South

Cultures of Violence Lynching and Racial Killing in South Africa and the American South
Ivan Evans, "Cultures of Violence: Lynching and Racial Killing in South Africa and the American South"
English | 2010 | pages: 321 | ISBN: 0719079047 | PDF | 1,9 mb
This book deals with the inherent violence of "race relations" in two important countries that remain iconic expressions of white supremacy in the twentieth century. Cultures of Violence does not just reconstruct the era of violence. Instead it convincingly contrasts the "lynch culture" of the American South to the "bureaucratic culture of violence" in South Africa. By contrasting mobs of rope-wielding white Southerners to the gun-toting policemen and administrators who formally defended white supremacy in South Africa, Cultures of Violence employs racial killing as an optic for examining the distinctive logic of the racial state in the two contexts. Combining the historian's eye for detail with the sociologist's search for overarching claims, the book explores the systemic connections among three substantive areas to explain why contrasting traditions of racial violence took such firm root in the American South and South Africa.
