It theorizes that descriptive representation of minorities leads to improved responsiveness to minority interests contingent on the percentage of minority representatives, the proportion of minorities in the district, level of party fragmentation among minority representatives, their political incorporation, and the electoral competitiveness of the district. It uses multivariate regression analysis to test the effects of these five explanatory variables. It validates the quantitative findings with case studies of three London boroughs while also investigating the role of representational styles of Muslim councillors on their political attitudes and behavior. 410 0$aMuslim minorities ;$vVolume 16. 606 $aLocal government$zGreat Britain 606 $aCity council members$zGreat Britain 606 $aMuslims$xPolitical activity$zGreat Britain 606 $aMuslims$zGreat Britain$xPolitics and government 606 $aMinorities$xPolitical activity$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$xRace relations$xPolitical aspects 607 $aGreat Britain$xEthnic relations$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aLocal government 615 0$aCity council members 615 0$aMuslims$xPolitical activity 615 0$aMuslims$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aMinorities$xPolitical activity 676 $a320.8/50882970941 700 $aTatari$b Eren$01573649 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787966103321 996 $aMuslims in British local government$93849476 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04150nam 2200709 450 001 9910816318303321 005 20230807193918.0 010 $a0-19-102601-8 010 $a0-19-102600-X 035 $a(CKB)3710000000497952 035 $a(EBL)4083319 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4083319 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4083319 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11118519 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL845997 035 $a(OCoLC)936290715 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000497952 100 $a20151117d2015 uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 00$aEdmund Blunden's Undertones of war /$fedited by John Greening 205 $aFirst edition. 210 1$aOxford :$cOxford University Press,$d2015. 215 $a1 online resource (585 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-19-871661-3 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and indexes. 330 $aA beautifully illustrated edition of Edmund Blunden's rich prose memoir. John Greening couples the original and unrevised version of the text with the best of Blunden's own annotations, commentaries, and illustrations. 330 8 $a"Edmund Blunden (1896-1974) was one of the youngest of the war poets, enlisting straight from school to find himself in some of the Western Front's most notorious hot-spots. His prose memoir, written in a rich, allusive vein, full of anecdote and human interest, is unique for its quiet authority and for the potency of its dream-like narrative. Once we accept the archaic conventions and catch the tone -- which can be by turns horrifying or hilarious -- Undertones of War gradually reveals itself as a masterpiece. It is clear why it has remained in print since it first appeared in 1928. This new edition not only offers the original unrevised version of the prose narrative, written at white heat when Blunden was teaching in Japan and had no access to his notes, but provides a great deal of supplementary material never before gathered together. Blunden's 'Preliminary' expresses the lifelong compulsion he felt 'to go over the ground again' and for half a century he prepared new prefaces, added annotations. All those prefaces and a wide selection of his commentaries are included here-marginalia from friends' first editions, remarks in letters, extracts from later essays, and a substantial part of his war diary. John Greening has provided a scholarly introduction discussing the bibliographical and historical background, and brings his poet's eye to a much expanded (and more representative) selection of Blunden's war poetry. For the first time we can see the poet Blunden as the major figure he was. Blunden had always hoped for a properly illustrated edition of the work, and kept a folder full of possible pictures. The editor, with the Blunden family's help, has selected some of the best of them to include in this new edition."--Jacket 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$vPersonal narratives, English 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$vPoetry 606 $aSoldiers$zGreat Britain$vBiography 607 $aGreat Britain$2fast 608 $acollective biographies.$2aat 608 $aautobiographies (literary works)$2aat 608 $aPersonal narratives$2fast 608 $aAutobiographies$2fast 608 $aBiographies$2fast 608 $aPersonal narratives$vBritish$2fast 608 $aPoetry$2fast 608 $aAutobiographies.$2lcgft 608 $aBiographies.$2lcgft 608 $aPersonal narratives.$2lcgft 608 $aDust jackets$xSpecimens$zGreat Britain$y2015.$2rbbin 608 $aAutobiographies.$2rvmgf 608 $aBiographies.$2rvmgf 608 $aRe?cits personnels.$2rvmgf 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 615 0$aSoldiers 676 $a940.48141 702 $aGreening$b John 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816318303321 996 $aEdmund Blunden's Undertones of war$94018076 997 $aUNINA
