Tony Richardson was a key figure in British cinema of the 1950s and 1960s. Having established himself in the theatre with the first production of John Osborne's landmark play Look Back in Anger, he became a central director in the New Wave, bringing greater realism to British cinema. He went on to make some of the most significant films of the 1960s including the multi Oscar-winning Tom Jones. This detailed and authoritative account of Richardson's career provides a reassessment of his achievements. As well as looking at his best known films, it considers neglected works such as Ned Kelly and Joseph Andrews, illustrating how Richardson remained a champion of the socially marginalised. In mapping out his life and work, from the English Stage Company to his final films in America, Shail re-establishes Richardson's at the front rank of British film directors, confirming his contribution to a period of dynamic change in British culture. ;
Es reicht schon eine Flugzeugentführung in einem weit entfernten Land, um Renia schreckensstarr zu machen. Sofort hängt sie sich ans Telefon und gibt ihrer leicht genervten Tochter Lola Anweisungen, wie sie sich in einem solchen Fall zu verhalten hätte. Jedenfalls nicht zugeben, daß sie Jüdin sei, denn »jeder will immer zuerst die Juden umbringen«. Was ist das letztlich für ein Glück, daß Lola keinen Juden, sondern den blonden, blauäugigen Rodney geheiratet hat! Dabei hatte die Familie Lola einst nach Israel geschickt, damit sie sich ihre diversen nichtjüdischen Verehrer aus dem Kopf schlage. Aber Lola »verabscheute Israel vom ersten Augenblick an«. Schockierenderweise läßt sich Lola später von Rodney scheiden. Wieder eine mittlere Katastrophe. Und natürlich mischen sich die Mitglieder der jüdischen Gemeinde mit guten Ratschlägen in jedes Familiendrama ein. Bis Lola sich aus den Bevormundungen, Vorschriften und Ratschlägen befreit, bedarf es vieler kleiner Rebellionen.

Written by an interdisciplinary team of scholars, this authoritative text presents an engaging narrative of the way politics features in heritage conservation and management. New international case studies illustrate how notions of identity, social class and nationhood may be woven into the provision of official heritage, and how heritage may be seen to be less about upholding truth or authenticity and more about delivering political objectives. Aimed primarily at students in heritage studies and professionals in heritage industries, this book is one of three in the Understanding Global Heritage series.

Revolutionary lives of the Red and Black Atlantic brings to light the life histories of a wide range of radical figures whose political activity in relation to the black liberation struggle was profoundly shaped by the global impact and legacy of the Russian Revolution of October 1917. The volume introduces new perspectives on the intellectual trajectories of well-known figures and critical activists including C. L. R. James, Paul Robeson, Walter Rodney and Grace P. Campbell. This biographical approach brings a vivid and distinctive lens to bear on how racialised social and political worlds were negotiated and experienced by these revolutionary figures, and on historic black radical engagements with left political movements, in the wake of the Russian Revolution.
