ePUB and EPDF available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. This
book examines how and why experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic in
Britain varied according to ethnicity. Drawing from the Evidence
for Equality National Survey (EVENS), the book compares the
experiences of ethnic and religious minority groups and White
British people in work and finances, housing and communities,
health and wellbeing, policing and politics, and racism and
discrimination in Britain. Using unrivalled data in terms of
population and topic coverage and complete with bespoke graphics,
contributors present new evidence of ethnic inequalities and
racism, opening them up to debate as crucial social concerns.
Written by leading international experts in the field, this is a
must-read for anyone interested in contemporary ethnic inequalities
and racism, from academics and policymakers to voluntary and
community sector organisations.
Perhaps more than any other European country, Spain has undergone a
remarkable transformation in the post-war period. To the surprise
of many, it has succeeded in making the leap from a predominantly
agricultural and politically repressed country, to a modern
European democracy with a diversified economy containing important
manufacturing and service sectors. Yet, despite the fact that at
the beginning of the twenty-first century Spain is the world's
eighth largest economy, old stereotypes that see the Iberian nation
as an inflexible, unchanging society, persist. As such, scholars
will welcome this new study which challenges the picaresque and
outdated notions of Spanish economic development, replacing them
with a picture of rapid and profound modernization. Building upon
the recent work of historians and economists, the authors provide a
thoughtful and compelling overview of the subject that clearly
elucidates both the positive and negative aspects of modern Spanish
development. Thus, as well as charting the undoubted successes
achieved, persistent problems - most notably high unemployment -
are also explored. Written in a straightforward and engaging
manner, this book engages with research from a wide variety of
disciplines, and will be of interest to anyone with a specific
interest in modern Spain, or a wider interest in economic
development within the framework of the European Union.
This volume brings together the four mature collections of a modern master: Someone Else’s Name (2003), Identity Theft (2008), Shakespeare’s Horse (2015), and Sometimes I Dream That I Am Not Walt Whitman (2020).
It is an eloquent, stirring, and peerless body of work, one which, to quote from the very first poem in Someone Else’s Name, has inscribed The signs of a single heart // That gave its love to art / And wore that on its sleeve.
Harrison’s art is worthy of comparison to the great art of the past but it is also startlingly reflective of the upheaval of the present. Few could have written poems so persuasively responsive to such a range of figures—from Shakespeare to Swinburne, from Whitman to Frost, from Victor Hugo to Charles Dickens—and no-one else could have written poems so wildly inventive on such a span of subjects—from internet identity theft to robotic volcanology, from military balloons to Afghan kite fighting, from Emily Dickinson’s zombies to the Mandaean demon Dinanukht (to name but a few).
'The Hecht Prize Anthology' contains work by fifty of the poets who
reached the contest's semi-finals, including the five eventual
winners, Morri Creech, Erica Dawson, Rose Kelleher, Carrie Jerrell
and Matthew Ladd.
