The Unsettling of Europe: How Migration Reshaped a Continent

The Unsettling of Europe: How Migration Reshaped a Continent

Peter Gatrell

BASIC BOOKS
2019
sidottu
An acclaimed historian examines postwar migration's fundamental role in shaping modern Europe Migration is perhaps the most pressing issue of our time, and it has completely decentered European politics in recent years. But as we consider the current refugee crisis, acclaimed historian Peter Gatrell reminds us that the history of Europe has always been one of people on the move. The end of World War II left Europe in a state of confusion with many Europeans virtually stateless. Later, as former colonial states gained national independence, colonists and their supporters migrated to often-unwelcoming metropoles. The collapse of communism in 1989 marked another fundamental turning point. Gatrell places migration at the center of post-war European history, and the aspirations of migrants themselves at the center of the story of migration. This is an urgent history that will reshape our understanding of modern Europe.

Syntax and Parsing

Syntax and Parsing

Paul Gorrell

Cambridge University Press
2006
pokkari
This book examines the role of syntax in theories of sentence comprehension, and argues for a distinct processing component which is devoted to the recovery of syntactic structure and which utilizes the contrasting types of information found within a Government-Binding grammar. Paul Gorrell contrasts the primary relations (dominance and precedence) and secondary relations (case assignment, theta-role assignment, etc.) in a phrase-structure tree, and shows how this computational distinction of information types is reflected in the internal structure of the parser, which consists of two sub-components: a structure builder (responsible for creating nodes in a tree and positing primary relations between them), and a structure interpreter (responsible for analysing the tree in terms of secondary relations). This model can also predict garden-path phenomena in the processing of verb-final clauses.

Free World?

Free World?

Peter Gatrell

Cambridge University Press
2016
pokkari
Free World? is a major contribution to the transnational history of humanitarianism in the postwar world. Peter Gatrell shows how and why the UN, NGOs, governments and individuals embarked on a unique campaign, World Refugee Year (1959–60), in response to global refugee crises, particularly in Europe, the Middle East and the Far East. Adopted by nearly one hundred countries, the campaign galvanised public opinion and raised money by enlisting celebrities, using the mass media, and recreating 'refugee camps' in the affluent West. Free World? assesses the causes and consequences of the refugee crises, locates the campaign in the broader geopolitical context of the Cold War and decolonisation and shows how it helped to inspire subsequent campaigns such as Amnesty International and Freedom from Hunger. Ultimately, the book asks how those who are in a more privileged position might better reflect on their responsibilities towards refugees in the modern world.

Government, Industry and Rearmament in Russia, 1900–1914

Government, Industry and Rearmament in Russia, 1900–1914

Peter Gatrell

Cambridge University Press
1994
pokkari
This book provides an economic historian’s perspective on major questions that confront all students of Russian history: how stable were the economic and administrative structures of late-imperial Russia, and how well prepared was Russia for war in 1914? The decade following the Russo-Japanese War witnessed profound changes in the political system and in the industrial economy. The regime faced challenges to its authority from industrialists, caught in the throes of recession, and from parliamentary critics of tsarist administration. Peter Gatrell provides a comprehensive account of the attempts made by government and business to confront these challenges, examining the organisation and performance of a key industry and showing how decisions were reached about the allocation of resources, and the far-reaching consequences these decisions entailed.

I Know I'm Right!

I Know I'm Right!

Donna Gorrell

Lulu.com
2010
pokkari
Some of these essays are mostly reflections; others are more opinionated with an "I Know I'm Right!" attitude. Some describe the life of a kid, some a parent/wife/housekeeper, some a teacher. They're all perspectives of a writer and editor, one who has lived nearly eight decades. The stories and ideas come together to form a type of memoir, but they're not so much about the writer as they are about the world we live in and our attitudes and adjustments to that world.

One man stands out - who is he really, and is he sincere?But it is December 1941, and her lover must fight for the freedom of the colony. Sick and desperately worried, Lavinia waits alone for news but soon realises she must flee for her life. In an epic and dangerous journey, she travels further and further, across seas and continents, away from the man she loves. Will she ever see him again?This is a true story of love and loss, the call of duty and the powerlessness of individuals against momentous world events.Claire Gartrell is an author and academic. Since completing her doctorate at Oxford University, she has continued an exciting and varied life as a nurse in the south of France and then in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia. She now lives in central Sydney.

Faulkner's Heroic Design

Faulkner's Heroic Design

Lynn Gartrell Levins

University of Georgia Press
2008
pokkari
In this discerning study of Faulkner's major novels from Sartoris to The Reivers, Lynn Levins answers the criticism that the fictional world of William Faulkner is not heroic enough. Her study analyzes his heroic design--his rendering of the events of his rural community of Yoknapatawpha against scenes from myth, classical drama, epic poetry, and chivalric and historical romance. In each case Faulkner is not parodying traditional literary modes to focus on the grotesque diminution of legend and myth in Yoknapatawpha County; rather he is writing in As I Lay Dying and Old Man and The Hamlet of the fulfillment of an ethical obligation. When that obligation is met in spite of temptations and difficulties, then the action of Anse Burden or the tall convict or the idiot Ike Snopes approaches heroic proportions. Behind the chivalric framework of the tall convict's epic journey or the identification of Thomas Sutpen as the old Greek tragic hero lies a heroic ideal. By employing such a design Faulkner affirms man's historical continuity and asserts his belief that in the twentieth century the heroic is still possible.

In the Name of Elijah Muhammad

In the Name of Elijah Muhammad

Mattias Gardell

Duke University Press
1996
pokkari
In the Name of Elijah Muhammad tells the story of the Nation of Islam-its rise in northern inner-city ghettos during the Great Depression through its decline following the death of Elijah Muhammad in 1975 to its rejuvenation under the leadership of Louis Farrakhan. Mattias Gardell sets this story within the context of African American social history, the legacy of black nationalism, and the long but hidden Islamic presence in North America. He presents with insight and balance a detailed view of one of the most controversial yet least explored organizations in the United States-and its current leader. Beginning with Master Farad Muhammad, believed to be God in Person, Gardell examines the origins of the Nation. His research on the period of Elijah Muhammad’s long leadership draws on previously unreleased FBI files that reveal a clear picture of the bureau’s attempts to neutralize the Nation of Islam. In addition, they shed new light on the circumstances surrounding the murder of Malcolm X. With the main part of the book focused on the fortunes of the Nation after Elijah Muhammad’s death, Gardell then turns to the figure of Minister Farrakhan. From his emergence as the dominant voice of the radical black Islamic community to his leadership of the Million Man March, Farrakhan has often been portrayed as a demagogue, bigot, racist, and anti-Semite. Gardell balances the media’s view of the Nation and Farrakhan with the Nation’s own views and with the perspectives of the black community in which the organization actively works. His investigation, based on field research, taped lectures, and interviews, leads to the fullest account yet of the Nation of Islam’s ideology and theology, and its complicated relations with mainstream Islam, the black church, the Jewish community, extremist white nationalists, and the urban culture of black American youth, particularly the hip-hop movement and gangs.

Gods of the Blood

Gods of the Blood

Mattias Gardell

Duke University Press
2003
sidottu
Racist paganism is a thriving but understudied element of the American religious and cultural landscape. Gods of the Blood is the first in-depth survey of the people, ideologies, and practices that make up this fragmented yet increasingly radical and militant milieu. Over a five-year period during the 1990s Mattias Gardell observed and participated in pagan ceremonies and interviewed pagan activists across the United States. His unprecedented entree into this previously obscure realm is the basis for this firsthand account of the proliferating web of organizations and belief systems combining pre-Christian pagan mythologies with Aryan separatism. Gardell outlines the historical development of the different strands of racist paganism-including Wotanism, Odinism and Darkside AsatrÚ-and situates them on the spectrum of pagan belief ranging from Wicca and goddess worship to Satanism. Gods of the Blood details the trends that have converged to fuel militant paganism in the United States: anti-government sentiments inflamed by such events as Ruby Ridge and Waco, the rise of the white power music industry (including whitenoise, dark ambient, and hatecore), the extraordinary reach of modern communications technologies, and feelings of economic and cultural marginalization in the face of globalization and increasing racial and ethnic diversity of the American population. Gardell elucidates how racist pagan beliefs are formed out of various combinations of conspiracy theories, anti-Semitism, warrior ideology, populism, beliefs in racial separatism, Klandom, skinhead culture, and tenets of national socialism. He shows how these convictions are further animated by an array of thought selectively derived from thinkers including Nietzche, historian Oswald Spengler, Carl Jung, and racist mystics. Scrupulously attentive to the complexities of racist paganism as it is lived and practiced, Gods of the Blood is a fascinating, disturbing, and important portrait of the virulent undercurrents of certain kinds of violence in America today.

Turning the Camera Inward: A Search for a Photography of the Self

Turning the Camera Inward: A Search for a Photography of the Self

Dale Garell

Dale Garell Photography LLC
2017
nidottu
This is a book for those who love photography, enjoy taking photos, and are intrigued by the possibility that by doing so, they might learn more about themselves and find new ways to express their art. It means using imagination to tap into a part of their inner world. It means we can become artists of both our personal and work lives.This book is my story and how my photography has evolved: about why photography has become important to my own process; about getting older; and about learning to accept realities and limitations as a person and a photographer. The book is also a reaffirmation, a summary of my work to date, a way of taking stock; and finally, it's a way to share why I am so hopeful about where my art is going and what I have to do to continue to learn.One doesn't have to begin a new career as a photographer to use photography as a tool for self-learning. Self-learnng is about starting a new creative process, testing the possibilities of learning, and discovering outcomes very different from expectations. It is about keeping going, being persistent and focused and for me, it has been acting "as if" I was a photographer when I wasn't really sure I might ever become one.The process itself of writing this book has altered its original plan for content. I have examined literally thousands of my pictures taken since I started in 2004. My review led me to look at the photos very differently and to select the ones that illustrate the importance of turning the camera inward. I continue to learn about myself.Highlights of my story include learning from a young boy in a wheelchair accompanied by his father who, after I had shared my camera with him, agreed to have his picture taken; a trip to Paris when I learned what it was like to need a wheelchair to navigate the busy international airports and what it looked like from that angle; viewing parts of my life from a panoramic view and imagining their connectedness; redefining the meaning of success and learning about what is truly important; becoming a photographer and realizing that the journey isn't over.I hope people will not only look at individual photos in this book, but also at the body of my work as a whole. I'd like you to think of the content of this book as several rooms of an exhibit covering the last twelve years. I believe there is an internal consistency: taking pictures of people in the streets; finding scenes that can have universal meaning, looking for special moments that evoke a sense of humor or whimsy or sadness or curiosity; seeking and discovering images that touch me; and finding pictures later on that highlight personal experiences in my own life that add richness and texture.Dale GarellSeptember, 2017
