Exporting Empire: Africa, Colonial Officials and the Construction of the British Imperial State, C.1900-1939
ISBN: 9780719083686 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. For Africans, rank and file colonial officials - the 'men on the spot' - were the most visible manifestation of Britain's imperial presence on their continent. For Britons, over time officials came to be celebrated as exemplars of a noble commitment to altruistic overseas duty. But in spite of their importance in administering such vast imperial territories, the attitudes of officials who served between the end of the 'Scramble for Africa' and the Second World War, as well as what shaped such attitudes, have yet to be examined in any systematic manner. A great deal of research has been...

America Looks to Australia: The Hidden Role of Richard Casey in the Creation of the Australia-America Alliance, 1940-1942
ISBN: 9781925588323 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Australia's war-time Prime Minister, John Curtin, has a heroic status in Australian political history folklore. He stood up to British Prime Minister Churchill and American President Roosevelt courageously, insisting that Australian troops be brought home to defend their nation against the expected Japanese invasion. However, the praise and adulation that is heaped upon Curtin for creating the American Alliance is not justified. James Prior argues that the credit is rightly owed to Richard Casey, who as Australia's first ambassador to the United States did more to secure American engagement...

Object Relations in Severe Trauma: Psychotherapy of the Sexually Abused Child
ISBN: 9781568215549 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Building upon the theoretical work of Ferenczi, Fairbairn, and Berliner, the author describes four basic relational patterns in the lives of abused children: the reliving of abusive relationships, either as victim or as perpetrator; identification with the aggressor; masochistic self-blame; and the seeking of object contact though sex or violence. The interweaving of these patterns creates what Dr. Prior calls "relational dilemmas." According to him, these four basic relational patterns are held in place by the child's profound fear of falling into primitive states of unrelatedness and...

Bible and Colonialism: A Moral Critique
ISBN: 9781850758150 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 342 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The biblical claim of the divine promise of land is integrally linked with a divine mandate to exterminate the indigenous people. The narrative has supported virtually all Western colonizing enterprises (e.g. in Latin America, South Africa, Palestine), resulting in the suffering of millions of people, and loss of respect for the Bible. According to modern secular standards of human and political rights, what the biblical narrative calls for are war-crimes and crimes against humanity. In this provocative and compelling study, Prior protests at the neglect of the moral question in...

Competitive Government: Delivering Excellence
ISBN: 9781496020895 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Competitive Government is a small book about a big idea. Over the centuries, much has been written about the nature of government, who should run it, and to whom it should be accountable. Very little thought has been given, however, to ways to guarantee that it gives the best possible value on an ongoing basis. Government has expanded without a mechanism to ensure that it succeeds. The result is that in many areas, the vigor and dynamism of previous decades has been replaced by torpor and paralysis. Improving the performance of government is often the "elephant in the room" when it comes to...
