Ethics and Nationalist Populism at the British Seaside Negotiating Character

Drawing on ethnographic research at the British seaside this book offers an original and insightful anthropological contribution to the study of contemporary Britain and nationalism. The volume focuses on people who have retired from different parts of the UK to the seaside town of Margate and nearby areas exploring their ethical negotiations and relationship with things that ‘have history’. It considers how residents engage daily with objects houses and places ‘with character’ and how such ordinary engagements underlie nationalist sentiments and the Brexit vote. Ana Carolina Balthazar demonstrates that those who have reached a comfortable financial position often look for ways to reconnect with their working-class upbringing and while doing so engage with the national past in a very tangible manner. Contributing to social scientific debates on class dynamics and ethics the book provides a different perspective on nationalist populism one which moves beyond media stereotypes and arguments made about the ‘left behind’ and ‘longing for empire’ in ‘post-industrial’ Britain. | Ethics and Nationalist Populism at the British Seaside Negotiating Character

Edwin and John A Personal History of the American South

In Edwin and John: A Personal History of the American South award-winning author James T. Sears interweaves diaries letters and poems to craft an innovative first-person narrative history that details the hard realities of growing up gay in the South during the early decades of the 20th century. Set against the backdrop of World War II and the post-war South Edwin and John provides a unique and intimate approach to queer history by following the 50 year relationship between John Zeigler and Edwin Peacocke that carried them both from their roots in the conservative South through service in World War II and into a placid and loving literary life where they opened a bookshop in what was then the small town of Charleston South Carolina. Edwin and John is a revealing look at queer history detailing how these two men and their remarkable circle of close friends-which included some of the greatest writers and artists of their era including Prentiss Taylor Carson McCullers and John Bennett-endured war intolerance and jealousies while living proud and public lives in far more conservative times. | Edwin and John A Personal History of the American South

In particular the chapters explore the landscapes of extraction as material networks that brought people space and labor together in harvesting raw materials cultivating agriculture for export-level profits and circulating raw materials and commodities in Europe Africa and the Americas from 1500 to 1850. This book argues that histories of extraction remain incomplete without careful attention to the social physical and mental nexus that is architecture just as architecture’s development in the last 500 years cannot be adequately comprehended without attention to empire extraction colonialism and the rise of what Immanuel Wallerstein has called the world system. This world system was possible because of built environments that enabled resource extraction transport of raw materials circulation of commodities and enactment of power relations in the struggle between capital and labor. Separated into three sections: Harvesting the Environment Cultivating Profit and Circulating Commodities: Networks and Infrastructures this volume covers a wide range of geographies from England to South America from Africa to South Carolina. The book aims to decenter Eurocentric approaches to architectural history to expose the global circulation of ideas things commodities and people that constituted the architecture of extraction in the Atlantic World. In focusing on extraction we aim to recover histories of labor exploitation and racialized oppression of interest to the global community. The book will be of interest to researchers and students of architectural history geography urban and labor history literary studies historic preservation and colonial studies. | Architecture and Extraction in the Atlantic World 1500-1850

The Lockean Mind

John Locke (1632–1704) is considered one of the most important philosophers of the modern era and the first of what are often called ‘the Great British Empiricists. ’ His major work An Essay Concerning Human Understanding was the single most widely read academic text in Britain for fifty years after its publication and set new limits to the scope and certainty of what we can claim to know about ourselves and the natural world. The Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were both highly influenced by Locke’s libertarian philosophical ideas and Locke continues to have an impact on political thought both conservative and liberal. It is less commonly known that Locke was a practicing physician an influential interpreter of the Bible and a policy maker in the English Carolina colonies. The Lockean Mind provides a comprehensive survey of Locke’s work not only placing it in its historical context but also exploring its contemporary significance. Comprising almost sixty chapters by a superb team of international contributors the volume is divided into twelve parts covering the full range of Locke’s thought: Historical Background Locke’s Interlocutors Locke’s Epistemology Locke’s Philosophy of Mind Locke on Philosophy of Language and Logic Locke’s Metaphysics Locke’s Natural Philosophy Locke’s Moral Philosophy Locke on Education Locke’s Political Philosophy Locke’s Social Philosophy Locke on Religion Essential reading for students and researchers in philosophy Locke’s work is central to epistemology; metaphysics; philosophy of mind; philosophy of language; natural philosophy; ethical legal-political and social philosophy; as well as philosophy of education and philosophy of religion. This volume will also be a valuable resource to those in related humanities and social sciences disciplines with an interest in John Locke.

Provost Experiences Reflections and Advice From a Former Number Two on Campus

What is a Provost—and what does a Provost do? Don’t look for the answers on the bookshelf. There is scant literature devoted to the Provost-ship – for which the author advances a number of hypotheses – so until this informal and autobiographical account there has been little for aspirants or new appointees to draw on for guidance or to provide a feel for what the role entails. Larry Nielsen offers a highly personal account of his tenure as Provost of North Carolina State University from his unexpected invitation by the Chancellor to act as interim Provost to the events that forced his resignation four years later and brought him unwanted notoriety. In a fast-paced self-deprecating style he invites the reader to share the activities that crowded his schedule the symbolic character of the role its opportunities to shape policy and its limitations as well as the joy and satisfaction he derived from making a difference in people’s lives and the institution. We see him in action and get a sense of the role as he addresses problems large and small. He shares insights on the governance of a large public institution on how monies are allocated and funds made available for strategic initiatives. By the end of the book we gain an understanding of the myriad roles of the “number two” position of the institution responsible for the direction and functioning of all its academic and curricular affairs that Larry Nielsen characterized for himself as “the University's stay-at-home Dad. ”He concludes the book with a look back at the Provost’s job from his renewed perspective as a faculty member further demonstrating the truth of his assertion that “where you stand depends on where you sit. ”This is an entertaining and insightful read for anyone who wants to get a glimpse of how a large university functions as seen through the eyes of an ultimate “insider. ” For those interested in taking on the highest administrative positions in higher education it offers a window into that world including the perils to which incumbents can be exposed when their actions become front-page news. | Provost Experiences Reflections and Advice From a Former Number Two on Campus

Right Turn William Bradford Reynolds the Reagan Administration and Black Civil Rights

In the spirit of the time the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 called for nondiscrimination for American citizens seeking equality without regard for race color or creed. After the mid-1960s to make amends for wrongs of the past some people called for benign discrimination to give blacks a special boost. In business and government this could be accomplished through racial preferences or quotas; in public education by considering race when assigning students to schools. By 1980 this course reached a crossroads. Raymond Wolters maintains that Ronald Reagan and William Bradford Reynolds made the right turn when they questioned and limited the use of racial considerations in drawing electoral boundaries. He also documents the Reagan administration's considerable success in reinforcing within the country and reviving within the judiciary the conviction that every person black or white should be considered an individual with unique talents and inalienable rights. This book begins with a biographical chapter on William Bradford Reynolds the Assistant Attorney General who was the principal architect of Reagan's civil rights policies. It then analyzes three main civil rights issues: voting rights affirmative action and school desegregation. Wolters describes specific cases: at-large elections and minority vote dilutions; congressional districting in New Orleans; legislative districting in North Carolina; the debates over the Civil Rights Act of 1964; social science critiques of affirmative action; the question of quotas; and school desegregation and forced busing. Because Ronald Reagan and William Bradford Reynolds were men of the right and because most journalists and historians are on the left Wolters feels the people of words have dealt harshly with the Reagan administration. In writing this book he hopes to correct the record on a subject that has been badly represented. Wolters points out that beginning in the 1980s and continuing in the 1990s the Supreme Court endorsed the legal arguments that Reagan's lawyers developed in the fields of voting rights affirmative action and school desegregation. In Right Turn Wolters responds to those who claimed that Reagan and Reynolds were racists who wanted to turn back the clock on civil rights and he describes civil rights cases and controversies in a way that is comprehensible to general readers as well as to lawyers and historians. | Right Turn William Bradford Reynolds the Reagan Administration and Black Civil Rights
