Etat : Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 276 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | 'To End All Wars' was a phrase applied hopefully during 'The Great War'. Its various permutations were meant to suggest that this one might be the last war of all. How quickly the phrase became ironic. How many wars have followed! The words 'to end all wars' must remind us today that all armed conflict is a vast social catastrophe. The centenary of the World War I Armistice comes with a barely veiled triumphalism in the countries that were victorious one hundred years ago. It was that triumphalism, and the failed peace that followed it, which led onto new catastrophes in World War II and then the Cold War. Now, well into the twenty first century, with ever uglier nationalisms raising their heads everywhere, it is time to critically examine the Armistice of one hundred years ago, and its meaning for Australia and for the world, then and now.In this collection, the reader will find work from some of Australasia's leading poets alongside perspectives from new voices. This is a diverse and unsettling read.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Fig trees flower within their own fruit, isn't that the ultimate form of protection Newcastle is a regional city where people have proven again and again that they are prepared to fight for what they need to protect. From iconic figtrees to the planet, from workers rights to protecting vulnerable children and even saving oneself, sometimes that protection takes a long time coming. And sometimes it fails. In these linked stories Dael Allison explores how being prepared to fight to protect what you believe in builds a strong, resilient, rich community.The thirteen linked, and richly faceted stories in Dael Allison's collection, Fig, begin and end on the flow of Coquun/the Hunter River. Newcastle is a city built on hypocrisy, pain, and exploitation. But Newcastle is also beautiful and authentic, with a community passionate about protecting what it values. Dael Allison unpacks this paradox skilfully, in fictional narratives based on real events. These range from local dockworkers supporting Chinese sailors who desert their ship, the obscenities committed by the Catholic clergy, the Star Hotel riot, and fallout from the 1989 earthquake, to climate change activists blockading the world's biggest coal port, and a projection of a future impacted by rising tides. The lives of the characters in Fig link on tidal currents, which rise and fall like the industry that has scaffolded this city's development, and iconic fig trees which have lined its streets. These stories are essential reading for anyone wanting to understand Newcastle, and the depth and complexity of regional place.- David O Kelly.…
