Adoptions that cross the lines of culture, race and nation are a
major consequence of conflicts around the globe, yet their
histories and representations have rarely been considered. Life
Lines: Writing Transcultural Adoption is the first critical study
to explore narratives of transcultural adoption from contemporary
Britain, Ireland and America: fictions, films and memoirs made by
those within the adoption 'triad' or those concerned with the pain
and possibilities of transcultural adoption. While acknowledging
the sobering inequalities which engender transcultural adoptions
and the lasting upset of sundered relations, at the same time John
McLeod considers the transfigurative and creative propensity of
imagining transcultural adoption as radically calling into question
ideas of biogenetic attachment, racial genealogy, cultural identity
and normative family-making. How might the predicament of 'being
adopted' transculturally enable the transformative agency of
'adoptive being' for all? Exploring works by Andrea Levy, Barbara
Kingsolver, Toni Morrison, Sebastian Barry, Caryl Phillips, Jackie
Kay and several others, Life Lines makes a groundbreaking
intervention in such fields as transcultural studies, postcolonial
thought, and adoption theory and practice.
“This book should be read by everyone working in a helping
profession.” Laura Burns, Training Lead for Hostage and Crisis
Negotiation (2017-2020) and Inspector, Police Scotland, UK “This
is a superb book in every single respect: beautifully written,
relevant, supportive and providing an accessible framework for all
those in the helping professions to develop and enhance
relationships with people.” Professor Andrew Reeves, Professor in
Counselling Professions and Mental Health, University of Chester,
UK “This is an excellent resource for anyone who requires an
element of embedded counselling in a professional capacity.” Dr
William N. Scott, Lecturer in Biomedicine, Atlantic Technological
University, Ireland Embedded Counselling in the Helping Professions
offers a practical framework for understanding how frontline human
service practitioners can respond effectively to the emotional
support needs of those around them, by incorporating counselling
skills and knowledge into their everyday professional work.
Taking a broad, interdisciplinary perspective, McLeod and McLeod
provide comprehensive coverage of key areas of practice that can
lead to improved outcomes for service users, including: •
Capitalising on how embedded counselling complements and builds on
other interventions and forms of support • Developing skills and
activities for facilitating helpful counselling episodes that
enable clients to move forward in their lives • Using evidence
from research studies to enhance practice • Designing caring
services that promote positive practitioner values and attributes,
and take account of organisational challenges and opportunities •
Ongoing personal reflection, supervision and consultation to
consolidate learning and awareness. As well as tackling critical
reflections and enforcing ethical practice this new book helps
human service practitioners to make sense of frequently occurring
client issues including crisis, trauma, emotional pain, life
transitions, bereavement and loss, and behaviour change. Embedded
Counselling in the Helping Professions is essential reading for all
students entering the human service field. It also acts as a
valuable continuing professional development resource for qualified
and experienced practitioners and for managers and policy-makers
who are committed to creating caring and responsive organisations.

What is 'Englishness'? Who defines it? What impact have changes to
England and the English, as well as England's relationship with the
outside world, had on 'Englishness'? Has 'Englishness' become an
anachronism at the turn of a new century? These questions and
others like them have become familiar ones in recent debates
concerning English politics, culture and identity. Diverse and
often competing notions of 'Englishness' have been critiqued by a
variety of writers and critics who have become concerned about
received visions of 'Englishness' in the post-war period. An
exciting and provocative collection of essays which registers the
changes to Englishness since the 1950s, 'The revisions of
Englishness' explores how Englishness has been revised for a
variety of aesthetic and political purposes and makes a
ground-breaking contribution to the contemporary debates
surrounding Englishness in literary and cultural studies. -- .

This accessible, narrative account follows Indian history over its
9,000 year trajectory, from the ancient Harappans to today,
emphasizing events and issues of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Written for high school students and general readers who have
little background on the world's largest democracy, this second
edition of a popular work provides an objective overview of Indian
history with a particular focus on the modern nation. Approximately
half of the book deals with developments since the beginning of the
20th century, with new chapters covering events and issues that
made news between 2002 and 2014. Readers can learn about the
Bollywood craze, 21st-century economic growth, and concerns about
the safety and equality of women today, as well as about such
traditional topics as Buddhism and Hinduism, the Mughal Dynasty,
and the British East India Company. Caste politics and the
establishment of the Republic of India are covered, as is the life
of Mahatma Gandhi. Completely revised and expanded, the second
edition features fresh content throughout and includes photographs
that were not in the earlier volume. The Notable Figures section,
Appendix of Leaders, timeline, and glossary are also updated, and
the bibliography now features electronic resources for students.
Completely updates the original, top-selling volume and adds
information about issues, people, and events post-2002 Covers the
entire history of India with particular attention to the formative
events of the 20th century and the economic transformation that has
taken place since 1991 Helps readers appreciate the sheer size of
India's current population, its ever-increasing economic
importance, and its strategic significance Presents information in
a clear, accessible style appropriate for readers who have little
or no previous knowledge about India Draws on the latest scholarly
studies of Indian history
Postcolonialism has become one of the most exciting, popular and
stimulating fields of literary and cultural studies in recent
years. Yet the variety of approaches, the range of debate and the
critical vocabularies often used may make it challenging for new
students to establish a firm foothold in this area. Beginning
Postcolonialism is a vital resource for those taking undergraduate
courses in postcolonial studies for the first time and has become
an established international best-seller in the field. In this
fully revised and updated second edition, John McLeod introduces
the major areas of concern in a clear, accessible and organised
fashion. He provides an overview of the emergence of
postcolonialism as a discipline and closely examines its many
established critical approaches while also exploring important
recent initiatives in the field. In particular, Beginning
Postcolonialism demonstrates how many key postcolonial ideas and
concepts can be effectively applied when reading texts and enables
students to develop their own independent thinking about the
possibilities and pitfalls of postcolonial critique. -- .
Emerging Aesthetic Imaginaries considers aesthetic imaginaries as
they constitute and are constituted by and in our shared realities.
With contributions from twelve scholars working in the fields of
literary studies, visual studies, anthropology, cultural studies,
and digital culture, this book takes a multidisciplinary approach
to "aesthetic imaginaries," which tests the conceptual potential
from an array of perspectives and methodologies. It probes into the
continuous creation and re-creation of figures for the future that
invariably nod to their pasts, whether with a spirit of respect,
disgust, hope, or play. It is particularly in the intersections
between ideas and formations of "shared realities" and what Ranjan
Ghosh has called "entangled figurations" that the full and
intricate promise of the aesthetic imaginary as analytic and
conceptual prism comes into its own. As the chapters in this
collection demonstrate, "knots" of various aesthetic imaginaries
disseminate and manifest variously across place and time, to weave
and interweave again, and to offer themselves in each instance as
contours-so-far of cultural and aesthetic histories.
