Описание: These private journals, made available here for the first time, record Hugh Trevor-Roper’s visit to the People’s Republic of China in the autumn of 1965, shortly before the outbreak of the Cultural Revolution, and describe the controversial aftermath of his journey on his return to England. The visit was a catalogue of frustrations, which he relates with the verve and irony of a master narrator who relished the human comedy. His efforts to meet the real life and mind of China, in whose history and politics he had long been interested, were blocked at every turn by the resources of state propaganda and the claustrophobic attention of sullen Party guides. The visit was arranged by the London-based Society for Anglo-Chinese Understanding, which was ostensibly committed to the impartial interchange of culture and ideas. It proved to be run by a Communist claque whose ruthless methods of control outwitted the well-connected membership. Back in England, and with help from MI5, he resolved to get to the bottom of the society’s affairs. His investigations provoked a tumultuous public row which Trevor-Roper, no shirker of controversy, zestfully traces in these pages. Through the book, which closes with an account of his visit to Taiwan and South-East Asia in 1967, there run the wisdom of historical perspective that he brought to contemporary events and his lifelong commitment to the defence of liberal values and practices against their ideological adversaries.

Описание: Andrew's nine-to-five is death. When someone dies alone, it's his job to search their house and find out if they have any next of kin or enough money to cover their funeral. It's a grim job, but thankfully he has a loving family waiting for him when he gets home. At least, that's what he's told his co-workers. He didn't mean to get trapped in the lie, but over time it became comforting to escape into a life where he doesn't live alone, in a bedsit off the Old Kent Road, with only his Ella Fitzgerald records for company. But things have to change when new employee Peggy shakes Andrew out of his routine. She's a breath of fresh air, and Andrew finds himself drawn to her--the only problem is that Peggy has a spouse and two kids, and she thinks Andrew does too. Andrew is left with a choice: Does he tell the truth and start really living his life, but risk losing his friendship with Peggy, the first person he's made a connection with in years? Or will he keep up the fa ade, keeping himself isolated and alone, and end up suffering the same fate as all those people he's seen slip through the cracks?

Описание:  2021 winner of Edited Works category: New Jersey Studies Academic Alliance In 1970, Kenneth Gibson was elected as Newark, New Jersey's first African-American mayor, a position he held for an impressive sixteen years. Yet even as Gibson served as a trailblazer for black politicians, he presided over a troubled time in the city's history, as Newark's industries declined and its crime and unemployment rates soared.   This book offers a balanced assessment of Gibson's leadership and his legacy, from the perspectives of the people most deeply immersed in 1970s and 1980s Newark politics: city employees, politicians, activists, journalists, educators, and even fellow big-city mayors like David Dinkins. The contributors include many of Gibson's harshest critics, as well as some of his closest supporters, friends, and family members—culminating in an exclusive interview with Gibson himself, reflecting on his time in office.   Together, these accounts provide readers with a compelling inside look at a city in crisis, a city that had been rocked by riots three years before Gibson took office and one that Harper's magazine named "America's worst city" at the start of his second term. At its heart, it raises a question that is still relevant today: how should we evaluate a leader who faced major structural and economic challenges, but never delivered all the hope and change he promised voters?
