Описание: Using private papers, government records and interviews and correspondence with politicians and a large number of officers who served with him in Africa and Cyprus, Professor Baker carefully and sensitively traces Robert Armitage's colonial service career. He served in four colonies and Baker meticulously follows Armitage's career in each. In Kenya, as a district officer Armitage outstandingly set up the massive Isiolo refugee camp and as a secretariat officer his onerous finance work stood Kenya, and his own future, in good stead. As Nkrumah's finance minister he conscientiously helped the Gold Coast's rapid progress to independence. He was Governor of Cyprus when violence broke out and attempts were made on his life in 1955, and Governor of Nyasaland during the Central Africa Federation's middle years and the 1959 state of emergency. Baker examines Armitage's dealings with those responsible for colonial policy and changes in it - Churchill, Eden, Macmillan, Home, Perth, Amery, Lennox-Boyd and Macleod - and the conflicts which resulted.

This innovative edited collection brings together leading scholars from the USA, the UK and mainland Europe to examine how European identity and institutions have been fashioned though interactions with the southern periphery since 1945. It highlights the role played by North African actors in shaping European conceptions of governance, culture and development, considering the construction of Europe as an ideological and politico-economic entity in the process.
Split up into three sections that investigate the influence of colonialism on the shaping of post-WWII Europe, the nature of co-operation, dependence and interdependence in the region, and the impact of the Arab Spring, North Africa and the Making of Europe investigates the Mediterranean space using a transnational, interdisciplinary approach. This, in turn, allows for historical analysis to be fruitfully put into conversation with contemporary politics. The book also discusses such timely issues such as the development of European institutions, the evolution of legal frameworks in the name of antiterrorism, the rise of Islamophobia, immigration, and political co-operation.
Students and scholars focusing on the development of postwar Europe or the EU's current relationship with North Africa will benefit immensely from this invaluable new study.

Описание: Actively rewrites and reconfigures how Hong Kong cinema and media are to be defined and located
Examining how Hong Kong filmmakers, spectators and critics wrestled with this perturbation between the Leftist Riots (1967) and the aftermath of the Umbrella Movement (2014), this book traces how Hong Kong's extraterritoriality has been framed: in its position of being doubly occupied and doubly abandoned by contesting juridical, political, linguistic and cultural forces.
Extraterritoriality scrutinises creative works in mainstream cinema, independent films, television, video artworks and documentaries - especially those by marginalised artists - actively rewriting and reconfiguring how Hong Kong cinema and media are to be defined and located.

Описание: Examines the relationship between African Americans and one country, Germany, in great depth.

It is this diversity of roles that adds to the complexity of African American and German interactions and mutual perceptions over time.
