Errol John's Moon on a Rainbow Shawl

Errol John's Moon on a Rainbow Shawl

Errol John wrote Moon on a Rainbow Shawl (1958) after becoming disillusioned about the lack of good roles for black actors on the British theatre scene. While this situation has only slightly improved since his response has become the most revived black play in Britain from its original production at the Royal Court in 1958 to the National Theatre in 2012. It depicts the lives of a black community living in poverty in a shared tenement yard in Port of Spain Trinidad in the mid-1940s showing how each of the characters carries dreams of escaping to create better lives for themselves and their families. Lynette Goddard focuses on how the play articulates the narratives of migration that prompted many Caribbean people to uproot from their homes on the islands and move to the England in the post-war era. For some of them these dreams of a new life became a reality but they were experienced differently across genders and generations. | Errol John's Moon on a Rainbow Shawl

Keys to Successful Immigration Implications of the New Jersey Experience

Keys to Successful Immigration Implications of the New Jersey Experience

Published in 1997. The Urban Institute has been studying immigration for almost a decade and a half. In recent years the Institute’s focus has widened to include immigration integration. Unlike immigration policy which is a federal responsibility policies regarding immigrant integration have been left in the hands of states and localities and vary widely by region. This book focuses on the 1980-1990 experience of a high-immigrant state whose immigrant population matches the race and ethnic composition of the US population as a whole more closely than any other state. 'New Jersey’s experience with immigration is not necessarily typical of outcomes in other high-immigration states but it may be replicable on a broader scale. As a new century approaches and as debate over immigration legislation reaches a fever pitch it is important to analyze in the fashion of this volume instances of successful immigration that can serve as examples for other states the United States as a whole and other nations.

Freedom of Navigation and the Law of the Sea Warships States and the Use of Force

There has been a recent increase in clashes between warships asserting rights to navigate and states asserting sovereignty over coastal waters. This book argues for a set of rules which respect the rights of coastal states to protect their sovereignty and of warships to navigate lawfully whilst also outlining the limits of each.

The Causes of the English Revolution 1529-1642

The Causes of the English Revolution 1529-1642

Dividing the nation and causing massive political change the English Civil War remains one of the most decisive and dramatic conflicts of English history. Lawrence Stone's account of the factors leading up to the deposition of Charles I in 1642 is widely regarded as a classic in the field. Brilliantly synthesising the historical political and sociological interpretations of the seventeeth century Stone explores theories of revolution and traces the social and economic change that led to this period of instability. The picture that emerges is one where historical interpretation is enriched but not determined by grand theories in the social sciences and as Stone elegantly argues one where the upheavals of the seventeenth century are central to the very story of modernity. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by Clare Jackson Trinity Hall Cambridge. | The Causes of the English Revolution 1529-1642
