History of Policing in Australia: Exploring the Evolution of Policing in Australia - Impact on Criminal Justice

The Future of Postcolonial Studies celebrates the twenty-fifth anniversary of the publication of The Empire Writes Back by the now famous troika - Bill Ashcroft, Gareth Griffiths and Helen Tiffin. When The Empire Writes Back first appeared in 1989, it put postcolonial cultures and their post-invasion narratives on the map. This vibrant collection of fifteen chapters by both established and emerging scholars taps into this early mapping while merging these concerns with present trends which have been grouped as: comparing, converting, greening, post-queering and utopia. The postcolonial is a centrifugal force that continues to energize globalization, transnational, diaspora, area and queer studies. Spanning the colonial period from the 1860s to the present, The Future of Postcolonial Studies ventures into other postcolonies outside of the Anglophone purview. In reassessing the nation-state, language, race, religion, sexuality, the environment, and the very idea of 'the future,' this volume reasserts the notion that postcolonial is an "anticipatory discourse" and bears testimony to the driving energy and thus the future of postcolonial studies. 9780415714266 0415714265 248 BOOK Literary Criticism NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=JtfGoAEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en | Author: Chantal Zabus | Publisher: Routledge | Publication Date: Nov 01, 2014 | Number of Pages: 248 pages | Language: English | Binding: Hardcover | ISBN-10: 0415714265 | ISBN-13: 9780415714266

This companion volume to Errol Walton Barrow and the Postwar Transformation of Barbados: The Late Colonial Period, which covered the social and political forces between the 1920s and 1966 that shaped the trajectory of working-class struggles in Barbados and led to its decolonization, addresses mainly the first two decades of Barbados's independence as a sovereign monarchy under Errol Barrow and the Democratic Labour Party. \"[An] incisive and rigorous left analysis of the conundrum facing a peripheral capitalist Caribbean society. Watson explains why Barbados, unable to break decisively with its colonial past and hamstrung by the deceit of the promise of sovereignty, is forced to make compromises with imperialism and its domestic representatives of capital.\" -Linden Lewis, Professor of Sociology, Bucknell University, Lewisburg, Pennsylvania \"[A] masterful exploration of Barbados's political development. . . . [Watson] offers a skilful critique of Barbados's quest for 'development', ever unable to be pro-working class, in the shadows of colonialism and the spectre of the United States. . . . A must-read for anyone seeking a sophisticated and nuanced understanding of Barbados, the Caribbean and world politics, not only between 1966 and 1976 but in the present. -Kristina Hinds, Senior Lecturer in Political Science (International Relations), the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill, Barbados \"Meticulously researched and brilliantly written. . . . All of the major influences that helped to fashion the young state are carefully catalogued, analysed and associated with their relevant theoretical underpinnings. . . . Watson lays bare the intricacies and contradictions that made the [independence] period and its main actors so important to the shaping of modern Barbados.\" -Harold Codrington, Deputy Governor (retired), Central Bank of Barbados

The Colonial Chronicles is an epic multi-series set of American historical novels offering a panorama of characters and events of the Colonial Period chronicling the establishment of the Thirteen Original Colonies. Across a century and a half, the series opens with the loss of the Roanoke Colony, and concludes after the establishment of Georgia in 1732. Part Two begins in 1618 as Catholic and Protestant forces set strategic sights on European power at the start of the Thirty Years War. The Mayflower sails, establishing Plymouth Colony in 1620, and English colonization in North America grows, while Puritan political power in the English Parliament strengthens. Also, royal authority in England initiates renewed attacks on religious practices outside the Anglican Church under King Charles I, leading to increased Puritan emigration. The Plascomb Family widens its hold on Virginia land and tobacco markets after the first Indian War in 1622, and Plymouth Colony fails to recognize its brutal treatment of others beyond their wall who think differently than themselves in 1628. Diverse characters drive the narrative by folding into, blending with, and actively participating in the events, decisions, and actions resulting in each new colony's beginning, as well as larger world events, including global travel and meeting historically iconic people, finding that no history occurs in a vacuum because all societies are dynamic. | Author: Robin St. Taw | Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform | Publication Date: Nov 15, 2018 | Number of Pages: 432 pages | Language: English | Binding: Paperback | ISBN-10: 1729764193 | ISBN-13: 9781729764190
