The Struggle of Non-Sovereign Caribbean Territories
The Struggle of Non-Sovereign Caribbean Territories is an essay collection made up of two sections; in the first, a group of anglophone and francophone scholars examines the roots, effects and implications of the major social upheaval that shook Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana, and Réunion in February and March of 2009. They clearly demonstrate the critical role played by community activism, art and media to combat politico-economic policies that generate (un)employment, labor exploitation, and unattended health risks, all made secondary to the supremacy of profit. In the second section, additional scholars provide in-depth analyses of the ways in which an insistence on capital accumulation and centralization instantiated broad hierarchies of market-driven profit, capital accumulation, and economic exploitation upon a range of populations and territories in the wider non-sovereign and nominally sovereign Caribbean from Haiti to the Dutch Antilles to Puerto Rico, reinforcing the racialized patterns of socioeconomic exclusion and privatization long imposed by France on its former colonial territories.
Mobilisations sociales aux Antilles. Les événements de 2009 dans tous leurs sens
Après les événements du début de l’année 2009, que reste-t-il du mouvement initié par le LKP en Guadeloupe et le K5F en Martinique ? Nombreux sont ceux qui ont prophétisé que « rien ne sera plus jamais comme avant ». Mais, au-delà des discours militants, parfois peu réalistes, les sentiments qui prévalent oscillent entre désillusion, colère, cynisme et déception. Pourtant, la mobilisation aura été un moment intense d’échanges d’idées et de confrontation des approches du réel, d’exaltation des identités guadeloupéenne et martiniquaise, et, dans une certaine mesure, de l’identification française. Les réserves et critiques occultent souvent les gains matériel...
Gramsci, notre contemporain
De génération en génération, l'oeuvre visionnaire d'Antonio Gramsci continue de révéler de nouvelles richesses. Aujourd'hui reconnu même par les conservateurs tant son génie ne fait plus question, ce grand auteur de gauche, victime par excellence du fascisme italien, attire à nouveau l'attention quand réapparaît la dérive autoritaire un peu partout sur la planète. Cet ouvrage livre une facette inédite de son oeuvre, pétrie d'une étonnante maturité épistémologique et permettant d'explorer de nouvelles perspectives. Tout en nuances, il permet de redécouvrir un Gramsci tour à tour humain, savant touche-à-tout, interdisciplinaire avant la lettre et philosophe politiquement engagé.
Théories critiques et droit international
Au sein de la francophonie, le champ du droit international semble offrir beaucoup plus de résistance au développement d’un espace critique que dans le monde anglophone. Sauf exceptions, la critique francophone semble souvent s’y résumer à quelques chercheurs remettant en question le rôle du droit international dans la pérennisation des structures de domination, et d’autres, qui ont intégré la critique post-positiviste et poststructuraliste du droit international, mais qui peinent à faire une critique radicale de ses effets sur les structures de pouvoir politiques, économiques et culturelles. Plus important encore, ces voix dissidentes restent marginales et ont un impact limi...
The God of Soho
A hectic and hilarious morality tale for the modern world. In Heaven, Big God's mind is crumbling, Mrs God has lost her looks, and their daughter, Clem, the Goddess of Love and Sex and Beauty, has been rejected by her lover and banished to Earth. Down in the streets of Soho, Clem searches for something new, and finds it in glamorous and self-loathing reality-TV star Natty, whose fetishistic love life with rock star Baz is about to hit the headlines. Sexy, feisty and real, it is a story about love at its dirtiest, maddest and most bittersweet. Chris Hannan's play The God of Soho was first performed at Shakespeare's Globe, London, in 2011.
The News Is Read
For twenty-seven years Charlotte Green was one of the most iconic newsreaders on Radio 4. Her rich, velvety voice was a staple on the radio and a treat for millions of listeners. Charlotte joined the BBC in 1978 and became one of the regular readers on the Today programme, where her voice proved to be a reassuring constant in the midst of momentous occasions and terrible tragedies alike - her bulletins have covered everything from the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 to the 7/7 London bombings in 2005. After leaving Radio 4 in 2013, Charlotte joined Classic FM, where she now presents an arts and culture programme, Charlotte Green's Culture Club. In this highly entertaining and touching autobiography, Charlotte tells the story of the woman behind the voice, with all the endearing qualities that have delighted her listeners for years and gained her various prestigious accolades. The News is Read is a must-have for anyone wanting to spend a few hours in the company of this warm, charming and wonderfully modest woman whose writing is as engaging as her voice.
I, Rhoda
The heartwarming memoir of beloved television actress Valerie Harper, best known for her role as Rhoda Morgenstern on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and on Rhoda. Valerie Harper was an unknown actress when she won the groundbreaking role of Rhoda Morgenstern, Mary Tyler Moore’s lovable and self-deprecating on-screen best friend. Bold and hilarious, the native New Yorker and struggling working girl was unlucky in love and insecure about her weight—in other words, every woman’s best friend. Harper represented a self-reliant new identity for women of the 1970s. She fought for equal rights alongside feminists Gloria Steinem and Bella Abzug; and her incredible showbiz journey, which began on Broadway with Lucille Ball and Jackie Gleason, led her to four Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe. Harper is upbeat and funny, and her inspiring life story is laced with triumphs and transformative obstacles. This beloved actress’s incredible pluck, indomitable spirit, and warm and generous heart have touched our lives and kept us entertained for decades.
