As Labour MP for Gloucester, when things were good for Parmjit Dhanda they were very good. He was rolled out for Labour conferences and media appearances as a poster boy for the party - a shining example of a new Britain, where white constituencies chose ethnic minorities as their candidates and then elected them as their MPs.

This book is the result of what started out to be a simple search to find an answer to what was thought to be a simple question: "What is transactionalism?" Until this writing, Transactionalism simply had no codified or single source of reference and yet, with very little exception, how the term has been described and explained remained fairly consistent across numerous landscapes of study. Transactionalism is a set of philosophical tools, or a method, employed to address the complexities of human social exchange or transactions. It is a method of inquiry or approach that has been studied and applied to various disciplines including philosophy, education, psychology, political science, economics, and social anthropology.Trevor J. Phillips offers a fundamental and supporting work entitled Transactionalism - An Historical and Interpretative Study. Published by Influence Ecology, with foreword by co-founder Kirkland Tibbels.

Has multiculturalism failed? Is it time to move on? What is the alternative?

It has been blamed for undermining national identity, diluting social cohesion, creating ethnic ghettos and cultural fragmentation, providing fertile ground for Islamic radicalism, encouraging perverse 'political correctness', and restricting liberal freedoms of expression, amongst other things.

** THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER ** 'Juliet Nicolson is brilliant at recapturing mood, moment and character . . . This book is a must' Peter Hennessy On Boxing Day 1962, when Juliet Nicolson was eight years old, the snow began to fall. It did not stop for ten weeks. The drifts in East Sussex reached twenty-three feet. In London, milkmen made deliveries on skis. On Dartmoor 2,000 ponies were buried in the snow, and starving foxes ate sheep alive. It wasn't just the weather that was bad. The threat of nuclear war had reached its terrifying height with the recent Cuban Missile Crisis. Unemployment was on the rise, de Gaulle was blocking Britain from joining the European Economic Community, Winsto...
