Since his first recordings in 1955, Johnny Cash has been an icon in
the music world. In his newly discovered poems and song lyrics, we
see the world through his eyes. The poetry reveals his depth of
understanding, both of the world around him and within - his
frailties and his strengths alike. He pens verses in his hallmark
voice, reflecting upon love, pain, freedom, fame and mortality.
Illustrated with facsimile reproductions of Cash's own handwritten
pages, Forever Words is a remarkable addition to the canon of one
of America's heroes. His music is a part of our collective history,
and here he demonstrates the depth of his talent as a writer.
Edited and introduced by Paul Muldoon, with a foreword by John
Carter Cash, this is a book sure to delight and surprise fans the
world over.
The dramatic social, cultural, and political changes in the
twentieth century posed challenges and opportunities to Christian
believers in Britain and Ireland: many, whether in the churches or
among the laity, sought to adapt their faith to what was seen as a
new, "modern" world fundamentally different than the one in which
Christianity had risen to a position of institutional and cultural
dominance. Alongside the more long-term processes of
industrialisation, urbanisation, and democratisation, the formative
experiences of war and post-war reconstruction, confrontations with
totalitarianism, changing relations between the sexes, and
engagements with an increasingly assertive "secular" culture
inspired many Christians not only to reconsider their faith but
also to try to influence the emerging modernity. The chapters in
this volume address various specific topics - from mass politics to
sexuality - but are linked by a stress on how Christians played
active roles in building "modern" life in twentieth-century Britain
and Ireland. Tensions and ambiguities between "religious" and
"secular" and between "modern" and "traditional" make understanding
Christian encounters with modernity a valuable topic in the
exploration of the complexities of twentieth-century cultural and
intellectual history. This book will be of great value to students
and scholars in the fields of history including modern British
history, religion, and the intersectionality of gender and
religion. The chapters in this book were originally published as a
special issue of Contemporary British History.
Postmodern ideas have been influential in the social sciences and
beyond. However, their impact on the study of social policy has
been minimal. This work analyzes the potential for a modern or
cultural turn in welfare as it treats postmodernity as an evolving
canon - from the seminal works of Baudrillard, Foucault and
Lyotard, through to recent theories of the "risk society". Already
disorientated by globalization, new technologies and the years of
new right ascendancy, welfare faces a significant challenge in the
postmodern. It suggests that, rather than universality and state
provision, the new social policy will be consumerized and
fragmented - a welfare state of ambivalence. With contributions
from authors coming from a variety of fields offering very
different perspectives on postmodernity and welfare the book also
keeps social policy's intellectual inheritance in view. By
exploring ways in which theorizations of postmodernity might
improve understanding of welfare issues in the 1990s and assessing
the relevance of theories of diversity and difference to mainstream
and critical social policy traditions, this book is aimed at
students of social policy, social administration, so

In the 1930s and 1940s - amid the crises of totalitarianism, war
and a perceived cultural collapse in the democratic West - a
high-profile group of mostly Christian intellectuals met to map out
'middle ways' through the 'age of extremes'. Led by the missionary
and ecumenist Joseph H. Oldham, the group included prominent
writers, thinkers and activists such as T. S. Eliot, John Middleton
Murry, Karl Mannheim, John Baillie, Alec Vidler, H. A. Hodges,
Christopher Dawson, Kathleen Bliss and Michael Polanyi. The 'Oldham
group' saw faith as a uniquely powerful resource for social and
cultural renewal, and it represents a fascinating case study of
efforts to renew freedom in a dramatic confrontation with
totalitarianism. The group's story will appeal to those interested
in the cultural history of the Second World War and the issue of
applying faith to the 'modern' social order. -- .
