Examining working class welfare in the age of deindustrialisation through the experiences of the Scottish coal miner
Throughout the twentieth century Scottish miners resisted deindustrialisation through collective action and by leading the campaign for Home Rule. This book argues that coal miners occupy a central position in Scotland's economic, social and political history, and highlights the role of miners in formulating labour movement demands for political-constitutional reforms that eventually resulted in the establishment of the Scottish Parliament in 1999. The book also uses the struggle of the mineworkers to explore working class wellbeing more broadly during the prolonged and politicised period of deindustrialisation that saw jobs, workplaces and communities devastated.
Key features
Examines deindustrialisation as long-running, phased and politicised process
Uses generational analysis to explain economic and political change
Relates Scottish Home Rule to long-running debates about economic security and working class welfare
Analyses the longer history of Scottish coal miners in terms of changing industrial ownership, production techniques and workplace safety
Relates this economic and industrial history to changes in mining communities and gender relations

Описание: Food is at the center of national debates about how Americans live and the future of the planet. Not everyone agrees about how to reform our relationship to food, but one suggestion rises above the din: We need to get back in the kitchen. Amid concerns about rising rates of obesity and diabetes, unpronounceable ingredients, and the environmental footprint of industrial agriculture, food reformers implore parents to slow down, cook from scratch, and gather around the dinner table. Making food a priority, they argue, will lead to happier and healthier families. But is it really that simple? In this riveting and beautifully-written book, Sarah Bowen, Joslyn Brenton, and Sinikka Elliott take us into the kitchens of nine women to tell the complicated story of what it takes to feed a family today. All of these mothers love their children and want them to eat well. But their kitchens are not equal. From cockroach infestations and stretched budgets to picky eaters and conflicting nutrition advice, Pressure Cooker exposes how modern families struggle to confront high expectations and deep-seated inequalities around getting food on the table. Based on extensive interviews and field research in the homes and kitchens of a diverse group of American families, Pressure Cooker challenges the logic of the most popular foodie mantras of our time, showing how they miss the mark and up the ante for parents and children. Romantic images of family meals are inviting, but they create a fiction that does little to fix the problems with the food system. The unforgettable stories in this book evocatively illustrate how class inequality, racism, sexism, and xenophobia converge at the dinner table. If we want a food system that is fair, equitable, and nourishing, we must look outside the kitchen for answers.

This offers the first independent and comparative history and analysis of media pressure vs. coverage, through the lens of the insurrection against Saddam Hussein in 1991.

Описание: Octavia Hill (1838-1912) was an English social reformer whose main concern was the welfare of the inhabitants of cities, especially London, in the second half of the 19th century. With no formal schooling, she worked from the age of 14 for the welfare of working people and became a moving force behind the development of social housing. Her early friendship with John Ruskin enabled her to put her theories into practice with the aid of his initial investment. Another of her concerns was the availability of open spaces for poor people and she was one of the three founders of the National Trust, set up to preserve places of historic interest or natural beauty for the enjoyment of the British public. These articles written in the 1860s originally appeared in The Fortnightly Review and Macmillan's Magazine and are reprinted from a collected edition of 1875 pubished by the State Charities Aid Association, New York.

Описание: "In the 1960s, policymakers and mental health experts joined forces to participate in President Lyndon Johnson`s War on Poverty. In her insightful interdisciplinary history, physician and historian Mical Raz examines the interplay between psychiatric theory and social policy throughout that decade, ending with President Richard Nixon`s 1971 veto of a bill that would have provided universal day care. She shows that this cooperation between mental health professionals and policymakers was based on an understanding of what poor men, women, and children lacked. This perception was rooted in psychiatric theories of deprivation focused on two overlapping sections of American society: the poor had less, and African Americans, disproportionately represented among America`s poor, were seen as having practically nothing. Raz analyzes the political and cultural context that led child mental health experts, educators, and policymakers to embrace this deprivation-based theory and its translation into liberal social policy. Deprivation theory, she shows, continues to haunt social policy today, profoundly shaping how both health professionals and educators view children from low-income and culturally and linguistically diverse homes"--Provided by publisher.
