The importance of Evelyn Dunbar (1906-1960) in the history of
British 20th century art is continually being reassessed and
belatedly recognised. A gifted draughtswoman: youthful prodigy;
brilliant student at the Royal College of Art under Sir William
Rothenstein and a galaxy of teaching staff including Allan
Gwynne-Jones, Alan Sorrell and Charles Mahoney; principal muralist
at Brockley School; book illustrator; devout Christian Scientist;
official World War 2 artist, the only woman artist to be salaried
throughout the war; post-war allegorist and much-loved teacher;
subtly insistent feminist; devoted plantswoman, gardener and
inspired advocate of 'green' values; warm and witty but
self-effacing personality with many accomplishments including,
unexpectedly, rock-climbing and playing the banjo; but above all a
very individual artist of spirited imagination and consummate
technique, whose work, which hangs in all major UK galleries and
several overseas, defies ready classification. Dunbar's nephew
Christopher Campbell-Howes gives a sparkling, scholarly and
measured account of her life and work in a richly illustrated book
that combines biography, memoir and catalogue raisonne.
The Routledge Companion to Media and Race serves as a comprehensive
guide for scholars, students, and media professionals who seek to
understand the key debates about the impact of media messages on
racial attitudes and understanding. Broad in scope and richly
presented from a diversity of perspectives, the book is divided
into three sections: first, it summarizes the theoretical
approaches that scholars have adopted to analyze the complexities
of media messages about race and ethnicity, from the notion of
"representation" to more recent concepts like Critical Race Theory.
Second, the book reviews studies related to a variety of media,
including film, television, print media, social media, music, and
video games. Finally, contributors present a broad summary of media
issues related to specific races and ethnicities and describe the
relationship of the study of race to the study of gender and
sexuality.

1941 At the beginning of the year, Britain stood alone against
Germany and Italy. The war in Africa dominated the headlines, with
huge swathes of the North African desert changing hands
continually. At sea, Germany's Bismarck sank HMS Hood, but was soon
sunk herself, while Fortress Britain endured night after night of
heavy Blitz and the horrors of the Luftwaffe's incendiary bombs.
The first turning point of the war came in June, with Operation
Barbarossa - Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union - opening up a
second front in the east. The next would not come till December,
when the war moved from beyond its European and African front lines
to become a truly global conflict. Japan awoke the sleeping giant
that was the USA with a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.
Simultaneous attacks on Hong Kong, Malaya, the Philippines and
Indonesia saw huge parts of Asia firmly under Japanese control by
the end of the year. John Christopher and Campbell McCutcheon tell
the story of 1941 at war using many rare and often unpublished
images, showing the rapidly changing nature of the conflict, as
well as its impact on the everyday person.
