Stewart Brown brings an incisive and encompassing imagination to
these poems of Africa, the Caribbean, Wales and England; to the
sweep of imperial history and its painful aftermath and the
intimacies of domestic life. He writes of Africa and the Caribbean
with a rare combination of sympathy, honesty and inwardness, while
never pretending to be other than an Englishman abroad.
The 19th century was, to a large extent, the 'British century'.
Great Britain was the great world power and its institutions,
beliefs and values had an immense impact on the world far beyond
its formal empire. Providence and Empire argues that knowledge of
the religious thought of the time is crucial in understanding the
British imperial story. The churches of the United Kingdom were the
greatest suppliers of missionaries to the world, and there was a
widespread belief that Britain had a divine mission to spread
Christianity and civilisation, to eradicate slavery, and to help
usher in the millennium; the Empire had a providential purpose in
the world. This is the first connected account of the interactions
of religion, politics and society in England, Scotland, Ireland and
Wales between 1815 and 1914. Providence and Empire is essential
reading for any student who wishes to gain an insight into the
social, political and cultural life of this period.

With poems, stories, extracts from novels, essays, speeches, and
cricket journalism, this account is a multifaceted portrait of the
significance of cricket to the Caribbean and the attraction of
Caribbean cricket to the outside world. From the global playing
fields to the bumpier village fields and sugar estates, this is a
celebration of those who forged an art out of a game, transformed a
colonial sport into the cutting edge of Caribbean nationalism, and,
in the 1970s and 1980s, changed forever the nature of the game.
Despite children making up around a quarter of the population, the
first edition of this book was the first to focus on a public
health approach to the health and sickness of children and young
people. It combined clinical and academic perspectives to explore
the current state of health of our children, the historical roots
of the speciality and the relationship between early infant and
child health on later adult health. Child public health is a
rapidly developing field, and is increasingly recognised throughout
the world as a major area of focus for population health. Targeting
the health of children now is essential if we are to achieve a
healthy population as adults. For the second edition the text has
been revised and updated with new material on health for all
children, global warming, child participation, systems theory,
refugees, commissioning, and sustainable development.
Child Public Health 2e will be of interest to public health
practitioners, paediatricians, general practitioners with a child
health and commissioning interest and GP trainees. Whilst
pediatricians are given a unique population perspective on their
clinical specialty, public health professionals will gain a
specialist insight into a specific population group and primary
care doctors, nurses and managers will find support for their
commissioning and clinical governance agendas.
Major essays on the work of Derek Walcott, Kamau Brathwaite, Lorna
Goodison, Kwame Dawes, and other prominent Caribbean, African,
British, and American poets are featured in this collection that
has as its subtext a mistrust of postcolonial theory and its whole
academic industry/enterprise. Stewart Brown includes
autobiographical, literary essays that establish the ground from
which the other essays are written, asserting that poetry is more
important than its criticism. Thoroughly revised, expanded, and
updated, these essays were written mainly for literary rather than
academic journals, and are wide-ranging, provocative, and
intellectually rigorous.
The Caribbean is the source of one of the richest, most accessible, and yet technically adventurous traditions of contemporary world literature. This collection of Caribbean short stories is pan-Caribbean, ranging beyond the Anglophone territories to include stories originally published in Spanish, French, and Dutch. It brings together for the first time contributions from major figures such as V. S. Naipaul, Jean Rhys, and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and work from the exciting new generation of Caribbean writers represented by Edwidge Danticat, and Jamaica Kincaid.
Children in the U.S. are not faring well. Despite major advances in
public health, hygiene, and treatment for acute infections, child
health outcomes in the U.S. are among the bottom for developed
countries. As we enter the third decade of a child obesity
epidemic, children born in the last ten years are now likely to
have a shorter lifespan than their parents. Coupled with an
epidemic of childhood mental health issues - many of them
unaddressed due to stigma or lack of recognition - plus the impacts
of gun violence, poverty, and youth incarceration contribute to an
overall culture that fails to prioritize the health and welfare of
our youngest members of society. Child Health: A Population
Perspective examines both the history of child health and the three
dynamics that most define it: the principles and dynamics between
children, families, and communities; social determinants of health;
and life course health development. With both theoretical grounding
and illustrative case studies, this book provides a core framework
for students in maternal and child health to better understand the
issues facing children today - and how to serve them best.
