"This volume fills a void in current studies of Eleanor Roosevelt.
Offering a comprehensive analysis of Roosevelt as a diplomat during
the Cold War era, it is particularly insightful in analyzing her
position on United States race relations while at the United
Nations. It provides a new look at Roosevelt's leadership from an
American perspective played out on a global stage."- Maurine H.
Beasley, Professor Emerita, University of Maryland College Park,
USA "My grandmother was an ardent "small-d" democrat, as well as a
Democrat - but she didn't think we were very mature in our living
of it! This well-written and illuminating collection of essays,
focused on what ER thought it meant to be a global citizen, offers
a unique perspective of her views on a host of issues. Let us hope
these fresh insights can inspire young people today to construct
that better world to which she dedicated much of her life." - Anna
Eleanor Roosevelt This book focuses on Eleanor Roosevelt's
multifaceted agenda for the world. It highlights her advocacy of
human rights, multilateral diplomacy, and transnationalism, and it
emphasizes her challenge to gendered norms and racial relations.
The essays of this collection describe Eleanor Roosevelt as a
public intellectual, a politician, a public diplomat, and an
activist. She was, undeniably, one of the protagonists of the
twentieth century and a proactive interpreter of the many changes
it brought about. She went through two world wars, the harshness of
the Great Depression, and the emergence of nuclear confrontation,
and she deciphered such crises as the product of misleading
nationalism and egoism. Against them, she offered her commitment to
people's education as an example of civic engagement, which she
considered necessary for the functioning of any democratic order.
Such was the world Eleanor Roosevelt envisioned and tried to build
- symbolically and practically - one where people, the citizens of
the world, may really be at the center of international affairs.

In this case study of BBC Radio News, that shows how radio
journalism has changed since the 1960s, the author paints a picture
of the changing nature of the profession and the style of writing.
She draws on interviews with practitioners, BBC official documents,
style guides and output. Whilst the BBC Radio newsroom itself has
changed a great deal between 1966 and 2008, the main aim of
informing the public about what has happened has stayed the same.
Many of the news writers are concerned about increased workloads
and competition from 24-hour news outlets and its impact on the
accuracy (of content and language) of BBC radio bulletins. The BBC
News Style Guide charts the changes in the language since the
1960s.
