Sommario/riassunto

In 1948, as the jungle reclaimed the detritus left by World War II, a series of violent crimes were committed in Papua New Guinea and the Dutch East Indies.  Linked by questions of race, the civil and military authorities of Australia, the United States, China, the Netherlands and the Philippines were stung into action. Lachlan Strahan weaves the facts of these crimes into a story of compelling interest. This highly original history skilfully explores the complexities of international relations and paints a vivid portrait of people trying to cope with a confused and rapidly changing postwar wo

Sommario/riassunto

New Russian Drama began its rise at the end of the twentieth century, following a decline in dramatic writing in Russia that stemmed back to the 1980's.

Performing Violence is the first English-language study of the consequent boom in drama and why this new breed of authors were writing fierce plays, whilst previous generations had preferred poetry and prose. Since 1999 numerous festivals of new Russian drama have taken place, which have brought international re
