        The souls of white folk

        White settlers in Kenya, 1900s–1920s

        by Brett Shadle, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie

        Kenya's white settlers have been alternately celebrated and condemned, painted as romantic pioneers or hedonistic bed-hoppers or crude racists. The souls of white folk examines settlers not as caricatures, but as people inhabiting a unique historical moment. It takes seriously - though not uncritically - what settlers said, how they viewed themselves and their world. It argues that the settler soul was composed of a series of interlaced ideas: settlers equated civilisation with a (hard to define) whiteness; they were emotionally enriched through claims to paternalism and trusteeship over Africans; they felt themselves constantly threatened by Africans, by the state, and by the moral failures of other settlers; and they daily enacted their claims to supremacy through rituals of prestige, deference, humiliation and violence. The souls of white folk will appeal to those interested in the histories of Africa, colonialism, and race, and can be appreciated by scholars and students alike.

        Holiday camps in twentieth-century Britain

        Packaging pleasure

        by Sandra Trudgen Dawson, Jeffrey Richards

        This book is the story of two holiday camp chains established in the 1930s that provided thousands with packaged pleasure. Warner and Butlin's commercial camps emerged at the intersection of cultural shifts that politicised working-class leisure and consumption. Entertainment fostered in the post-war camps provided a forum for popular pleasure that reinforced the idea of a 'national' culture grown from the common experience of war. Butlin and Warner, the big commercial chains of the 50s and 60s, are enmeshed in our social and cultural history. Dawson uncovers the significance of the holiday camps to the political, economic, social, and cultural history of twentieth-century Britain, drawing on an impressive variety of sources, from government documents to trade journals, advertising, photographs, oral histories, literature, films and songs. This unique volume will be of interest to academics and specialists of British social history, popular culture and tourism studies whilst remaining accessible to enthusiasts. ;

        Christian Dualist Heresies in the Byzantine World, c. 650-c. 1450

        by Janet Hamilton, Bernard Hamilton

        Christian dualism originated in the reign of Constans II (641-68). It was a popular religion, which shared with orthodoxy an acceptance of scriptual authority and apostolic tradition and held a sacramental doctrine of salvation, but understood all these in a radically different way to the Orthodox Church. One of the differences was the strong part demonology played in the belief system. This text traces, through original sources, the origins of dualist Christianity throughout the Byzantine Empire, focusing on the Paulician movement in Armenia and Bogomilism in Bulgaria. It presents not only the theological texts, but puts the movements into their social and political context.

        Der amerikanische Leviathan

        by Heiner Müller, Frank M. Raddatz

        Ein Lexikon als Lesebuch Über 160 Einträge Von Amerikanisierung, Ami und Coyote über Charles Manson und Marilyn Monroe bis Zombie und Zweiter Weltkrieg Zeitlebens war »Amerika« für Heiner Müller eine Traum- und Projektionsmaschine. Unvergessen bleibt der erste Mickey-Mouse-Film des Kindes in Eppendorf, prägend die Faulkner-Lektüre des Jugendlichen. Die frühe Faszination paart sich mit der ablehnenden Skepsis gegenüber der aggressiven Politik des Systemgegners im Kalten Krieg. Als Müller 1975 und in späteren Jahren die USA und Mexiko bereist, verbringt er Tage und Wochen im Kino, trifft den Regisseur Robert Wilson und gewinnt den Weiten des Landes mit dem Begriff der Landschaft die entscheidende Kategorie für die Erneuerung der eigenen Theaterarbeit ab. Zugleich blieb »Amerika« für Müller die Chiffre des schlechten Ganzen im mittlerweile globalen Kapitalismus – und der verpassten Möglichkeit von Geschichte. Alphabetisch geordnet, versammelt das Buch die wichtigsten Passagen aus dem Werk Müllers zum Komplex Amerika.
