Black Girlhood and Identity in Canadian Elementary Schools: A Feminist Perspective on Voice, Agency, and Visibility (Routledge Research in Race and Ethnicity in Education)
by Natasha BurfordThis volume uses interviews and narratives data from self-identified Black women reflecting on their childhood in the Canadian public school system, to explore voice and agency, girlhood, and identity in Canada’s elementary schools. Exploring themes of race, gender, identity, friendship, dreams, authority, and success, the author showcases diversity in Black Canadian feminism and gives voice and agency to Black female stories that have traditionally been absent amongst the literary canon of education. An intimate and compelling scholarly exploration, it contributes to conversations around transforming the Black girl narrative in public education and will appeal to researchers, faculty, and post-graduate students with interests in race and ethnicity in education, gender studies, and multicultural education.
Economic History of Living Standards in Brazil: Policy, Health, and Environment, 1850–1950 (Routledge Explorations in Economic History)
by Daniel W. FrankenIncorporating political, economic, and environmental factors, this book explores the evolution of health and living standards in Brazil in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It draws on anthropometric data and an interdisciplinary approach to illuminate the profound socioeconomic transformations that unfolded in Brazil during this period.Through an analysis of archival military and passport records, the book reveals an increase in heights starting in the 1880s, predating the Vargas Era’s economic growth and social reforms. It also offers novel insights into Brazil’s regional development divide, showing that regional height differentials existed as early as the mid-nineteenth century (before industrialization began in earnest). Innovative methods, such as surname sorting to study immigration and merging anthropometric data with historical weather records to study the link between climate and health, are introduced. Qualitative evidence on municipal-level clean water and sewage interventions, along with data on malaria and hookworm disease, further corroborate the observed longitudinal trends and spatial patterns in stature.Scholars and students of historical anthropometrics, living standards, and Brazilian history will find this book essential, as will those with a broader interest in Latin American or economic history.
The Heart of the Bible: Volume Two: The Literature of the Jewish People (Sir Halley Stewart Trust: Publications)
by Jeannie B. Thomson DaviesOriginally published in 1933, from the preface in volume one: “The aim of this particular venture is to present the writings now collected in the volume called the Bible in an order approaching that in which they came into being. The hope is that a considerable amount of both the Old and New Testaments may be read in a fresh setting, so that questions about inconsistencies in the Bible, or about its varying levels of morality, or about its uneven value for religious education can no longer be fired as poison darts to attack its life and influence…. This is an attempt to combine reading the Bible with learning to understand it.” Of particular relevance to those interested in religious studies, today it can be read in its historical context.This book is a re-issue originally published in 1933.

Pandemics and Literature: Regional and Global Perspectives
by Kamlesh Mohan Saurav Kumar RaiThis volume provides a literary-cum-historiographical analysis of epidemics and pandemics. It looks at folklore, tribal folktales, eyewitness accounts, memoirs and missionary writings from India and the west to explore the history of some of the major outbreaks in history. The chapters focus on the impact of outbreaks such as plague, cholera, malaria, tuberculosis and COVID-19, upon the material life of people, their social dislocation and their complex responses to such crises.The book studies the role of pandemics in pushing scientists, social actors and littérateurs to develop new paradigms in knowledge generation, theories of environmental dislocation and the economic slide. It examines themes such as changes in the perception of epidemic diseases across different periods of history, popular responses to state intervention during epidemics, gendering epidemics, as well as the impact of rumours during epidemics.An important contribution to the social history of health and medicine, the volume will be useful for students and researchers of cultural studies and medical anthropology, public health, literature, history of pandemics and epidemics, sociology of medicine and South Asian studies.
The Spiritual Crisis of the Scientific Age (Sir Halley Stewart Trust: Publications)
by G. D. YarnoldFirst published in 1959, the original blurb reads: “No good purpose is served today by treating the relationship between Christianity and the natural sciences as a conflict; even as a conflict to be resolved. The modern world is passing through a crisis of far-reaching proportions; which is the direct consequence of its inability to assimilate new scientific knowledge, and to direct rightly the new technical skills. The crisis, which is essentially spiritual in character, is examined in its three principal aspects. Accordingly, the first part of the book deals with our understanding of the order of nature; the second with some of the central doctrines of the Christian faith; and the final section with the pressing ethical and moral problems of the industrial and nuclear age.” Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context.This book is a re-issue originally published in 1959.

The Life of Alexander Stewart: Prisoner of Napoleon and Preacher of the Gospel (Sir Halley Stewart Trust: Publications)
by Alexander StewartOriginally published in 1948, this book is of a remarkable gentleman, Alexander Stewart, who was born in Kirkaldy, Fifeshire, in 1790, and died in 1874. In middle life he wrote for his children an account of his adventurous youth, when he ran away to sea, was captured by the French, and spent some ten years as a prisoner. On returning home, he took to teaching, but then came a compelling inner call to the Christian ministry, and for the remainder of his life he preached the gospel with characteristic vigour and courage.Sir P. Malcolm Stewart, his grandson, in his Preface speaks of his “sense of pride in Alexander Stewart’s patience, endurance, and determination, in his great physical and moral courage, and his fight for freedom whether in prison or in the ministry.”“The style of writing,” says Alexander Stewart, “which I have adopted is that of unadorned narrative,” and such a story needed no external embellishments. His early narrative is given in extenso; the later portion is taken and abridged from his diary. Altogether it is a remarkable addition to the corpus of memoirs of the Napoleonic era.This book is a re-issue originally published in 1948.

Delinquency and Child Neglect (Sir Halley Stewart Trust: Publications)
by Harriett WilsonOriginally published in 1962, this was the first comprehensive study of a group of families often referred to as ‘problem families’. Harriett Wilson shows that they are not a homogenous group, and furthermore, that they do not possess any unique personality traits. On the contrary, the disabilities which are found among the families who took part in this investigation are also found in the general run of the population. The main disabling factor turned out to be the social isolation to which these families are subjected.This isolation affects not only the personality of father and mother, but it also has a profound effect on the character formation of their children, who tend to become delinquent. The child from this environment has not learnt to control their impulses effectively enough to take part in social life on a normal basis. They are handicapped from an early age.Harriett Wilson concludes that the delinquency found in this environment is a symptom of a total family situation which can only be treated at the family level by preventative family services. Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context.This book is a re-issue originally published in 1962.

Between God and History: The Human Situation Exemplified in Quaker Thought and Practice (Sir Halley Stewart Trust: Publications)
by Richard K. UllmannOriginally published in 1959, this book was planned as a second contribution towards critique and apologetics of Quakerism, the first being a booklet called Friends and Truth published in 1956. While the author did not lose sight of that original intention, the scope of the book widened in the writing. It was hoped that it would make a contribution from the Quaker point of view, to the study of the predicament of Western man. Today it can be read in its historical context.This book is a re-issue originally published in 1959.

They All Come Out (Sir Halley Stewart Trust: Publications)
by G. M. BishopFirst published in 1965, the original blurb reads: “At the present time more and more public interest centres on crime, prison and prisoners, and the prison population in this country now exceeds 24, 000. The average cost of keeping a prisoner for one year is over £500 and on the financial side alone it is essential that something is done to reduce crime, and particularly, in Mrs Bishop’s opinion, to reduce the number of men and women reconvicted and sent back to prison. Every year a large number of prisoners are released into society, and undoubtably the biggest problem facing them is their rehabilitation. Some responsibility for after-care rests inevitably on members of the public who, by their attitude to discharged prisoners and their willingness to accept back to society those who have offended against the laws of the country, can influence the attitude of the ex-criminal towards a new way of life. In order to help, it is necessary to understand something of the problems and difficulties a prisoner has to face when he is released, and it is with this need in view that this book has been written.For nineteen years Mrs Bishop, as a magistrate, has been sentencing those who come into the Courts and seeing their records of previous convictions. She has also pioneered an unusual club, restricted to ex-prisoners, which has given her a unique opportunity to study at first hand the problems and difficulties facing a man or woman fresh from prison. The book is full of examples taken from actual experience which gives it unusual human interest. Several probation officers, prison governors and ex-prisoners themselves have read and passed the script as authentic in its facts and true in its implications.” Still a topic of concern today this can be read in its historical context.This book is a re-issue originally published in 1965.

The Unmarried Mother and Her Child (Sir Halley Stewart Trust: Publications)
by Virginia WimperisOriginally published in 1960, when every twentieth child in this country was born illegitimate, every eighth was conceived outside marriage; every fourth mother conceived her first-born before her wedding day; and among the children below school-leaving age over half a million were illegitimate – figures that were paralleled in many countries of Europe and the Commonwealth at the time.Who are the parents of these children? Why do they not marry? How many of the fathers are known and how many of them know or help to maintain their children? What legal pressure can be brought upon the parents and how easily can payment be evaded? What assistance does the State or do the voluntary agencies give to these young families, here or in other countries? As the children grow up, what happens to them? How many are adopted, how many pass into public care – and why? How many appear before the courts? What special personal difficulties do they have? These and a host of other questions are fully explored for the first time in this book, which at the time would be greeted with equal interest by social workers here and abroad and be the general reader. The English problems are viewed in relation to the various solutions adopted by other countries, and some of these – the Russian, German, Norwegian, Swedish and Danish – are discussed at length.The book contains two full-length stories told by unmarried mothers – one a nurse and the other a teacher – in their own words.From a very different world today this reissue can be read and understood in its historical context.This book is a re-issue originally published in 1960. The language used and views portrayed are a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.
Sir Halley Stewart: Preacher, Politician, Businessman, Benefactor: Founder of The Sir Halley Stewart Trust (Sir Halley Stewart Trust: Publications)
by David NewtonFirst published in 1968, the original blurb reads: "Sir Halley Stewart’s last ambition was to reach his hundredth birthday, as the final distinction of a life full of achievement, starting from boyhood as one of the fourteen children of a poor Dissenting minister. But he had barely entered his hundredth year when he died at Harpenden in January 1937.In 1932 he was the second oldest man ever to be knighted in Britain. He made two fortunes and left almost all his wealth to a trust with a Christian foundation and the aim of promoting pioneer research. He was a preacher, politician, industrialist, and public benefactor, and gave his name to Stewartby, the world’s greatest centre of brick-making.In the story of this Grand Old Man, whose political passions were set aflame by Gladstone himself and whose religious convictions were first caught from a tough but much revered father, David Newton has not been content to chronicle the events of ninety-nine significant years. He has preferred to picture the personal characteristics of Halley Stewart in their development against the family and contemporary background that stretches almost from Napoleon to Hitler.With his hardy Scottish blood and his staunch independence; with financial genius co-existing with dislike of personal riches and practical concern for the under privileged; with firm convictions and strong faith fortified by boundless physical energy and intellectual power, Halley Stewart’s character was indeed – and is still – an inspiration.Mr Newton’s careful, intimate and lively study makes a charming family record, but pre-eminently it shows the man at close quarters, laughing and mourning, fighting and planning, longing and enthusing, working and triumphing: a portrait in which a past age comes to life again, and old principles which once made men uncommon are quickened anew for us who live in a more common age."This book is a re-issue originally published in 1968.

The Routledge Companion to Diasporic Jazz Studies (Routledge Music Companions)
by Ádám Havas Bruce Johnson David HornThe Routledge Companion to Diasporic Jazz Studies recognizes the proliferation of jazz as global music in the 21st century. It illustrates the multi-vocality of contemporary jazz studies, combining local narratives, global histories, and cultural criticism. It rests on the argument that diasporic jazz is not a passive, second-hand reflection of music originating in the US, but possesses its own integrity, vitality, and distinctive range of identities. This companion reveals the contradictions of cultural globalization from which diasporic jazz cultures emerge, through 45 chapters within seven thematic parts: • What is Diasporic Jazz?• Histories and Counter-Narratives• Making, Disseminating, and Consuming Diasporic Jazz• Culture, Politics, and Ideology• Communities and Distinctions• Presenting and Representing Diasporic Jazz• Challenges and New DirectionsThe Routledge Companion to Diasporic Jazz Studies traces how cultural dynamics related to "race", coloniality, gender, and politics traverse and shape jazz. Employing a cross section of approaches to the study of diasporic jazz as eloquently showcased by the entries, this book seeks to challenge the dominant jazz narratives through championing a more all-encompassing, multi-paradigmatic alternative. Bringing together contributions from authors all over the world, this volume is a vital resource for scholars of jazz, as well as professionals in the music industries and those interested in learning about the cultural and historical origins of jazz.
The World's Economic Future (Sir Halley Stewart Trust: Lectures)
by A. Loveday J. B. Condliffe B. Ohlin E. F. Heckscher S. de MadariagaOriginally published in 1938, this symposium, based on the Sir Halley Stewart lectures for 1937, numbers among its contributors some of the world’s most distinguished economists and the subjects of which they treat are of vital interest. Professor Heckscher deals with some recent important tendencies in economic and social life; Professor Ohlin with the future relations of Government and industry – he believes that both state socialism and nineteenth-century liberalism are unsuited for present and future circumstances and that the world will see not a “planned economy” but a “frame economy.” Professor Condliffe’s chapter is concerned with the possible transference from Europe to America of economic power and leadership, and Mr Alex Loveday has chosen as his subject certain problems of economic insecurity. Señor Madariaga’s closing chapter admirably sums up the main purport of the lectures. This book is a re-issue originally published in 1938.

by Charles E. RavenOriginally published in 1935, this volume Is War Obsolete?

Rich Man, Poor Man (Sir Halley Stewart Trust: Lectures)
by John HiltonFirst published in 1944 (Sir Halley Stewart Lectures 1938), the original blurb reads: “In Rich Man, Poor Man, Professor John Hilton examines the facts as to the distribution of wealth in this country. He finds that of our twelve million families only four million (a few of them immensely rich) are worth all told more than £100; four million are worth between a couple of pounds and a hundred; and four million live from hand to mouth, owning no more than they stand up in and sit down at – if that. But what about the £3, 000,000,000 of “Small Savings”? Professor Hilton answers. How comes it about that so few own so much of the wealth of the country, and so many own so little? Why are the poor poor and the rich rich? Is it because the poor are a poor sort and the rich are a rich sort? If not – what? The book tells of a special study of three hundred poor families.As for those of us in the middle range, whose real incomes have been steadily rising, what do we do with the extra? We spend some of it wisely. Professor Hilton goes on to examine various aspects of our spending, such as what we spend on pints, perms, poms, pictures and pools; and why: the curious and costly practice of burning fermented leaf-mold under the nose: twiddlers of fruit-machines and pin-tables: followers of dogs and horses: users of turnstiles and totalisators: knaves and thieves on the doorstep and in the letterbox: the £3, 000,000,000 of recent surplus we haven’t saved, and what would have happened if we had. “It’s the rich wot ‘elps the rich.” What it all means in terms of national well-being and strength, and what to do about it.”.

Human Rights and Environmental Protection: Environmental Procedural Rights in the EU, India and China (Transnational Law and Governance)
by Marek PrityiThis book explores the complex relationship between human rights and environmental protection. It analyzes the concept of environmental procedural rights from a comparative perspective in the European Union, India, and China. Arguing the need to apply a holistic approach which acknowledges the interlinkages between democracy, environmental protection, and climate change, it examines both theoretical and practical dimensions of the topic, with case studies drawn from empirical research. The work highlights the important role of environmental procedural rights at the intersection of environmental law and human rights, emphasizing the need for effective channels of communication between citizens and public authorities. The study calls for the taking into account of non-binding recommendations, such as the Maastricht Recommendations on Promoting Effective Public Participation in Environmental Matters, for developing public participation procedures in a manner that allows authorities to tailor these to the needs and situations of marginalized people. The book will be a valuable resource for academics, researchers and policy makers working in the areas of environmental law, international human rights law and transnational law and governance.
