Sommario/riassunto

This edited volume reconsiders the conventional wisdom, which argues that comparative performance (in economic, social, political, as well as diplomatic arenas) of China has been superior to that of India. The book brings together 'new paradigms' for evaluating the comparative performance of two countries. Essays show that if not outright wrong, conventional wisdom has proven to be overly simplified. The book brings out the complexity and richness of the India-China comparison.

Sommario/riassunto

This is a book that unashamedly brings love, spirit and soul into the heart of the supervision process but does so without becoming sanctimonious or precious. We see this through the various heart-felt experiences and stories of the different helping professionals that Robin Shohet has brought together&quot;. - from Foreword by Peter Hawkins, author of Supervision in the Helping Professions. Practitioners working in the helping professions realise the importance of supervision as a space for: reflection; compassionate inquiry; and continuing professional development.

Sommario/riassunto

Commerce in Color explores the juncture of consumer culture and race by examining advertising, literary texts, mass culture, and public events in the United States from 1893 to 1933. James C. Davis takes up a remarkable range of subjectsincluding the crucial role publishers Boni and Liveright played in the marketing of Harlem Renaissance literature, Henry Jamess critique of materialism in The American Scene, and the commodification of racialized popular culture in James Weldon Johnsons The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Manas he argues that racial thinking was central to the emergence of U.S. consumerism and, conversely, that an emerging consumer culture was a key element in the development of racial thinking and the consolidation of racial identity in America. By urging a reassessment of the familiar rubrics of the culture of consumption and the culture of segregation, Dawson poses new and provocative questions about American culture and social history. Both an influential literary study and an absorbing historical read, Commerce in Color proves thatin Americaadvertising, publicity, and the development of the modern economy cannot be understood apart from the question of race. A welcome addition to existing scholarship, Daviss study of the intersection of racial thinking and the emergence of consumer culture makes connections very few scholars have considered.
