Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When the SS Empire Windrush berthed at Tilbury docks in 1948 with 492 ex-servicemen from the Caribbean, it marked the beginning of the post-war migrations to Britain that would form part of modern, multi-cultural Britain. A significant role in this social transformation would be played by the literary and non-literary output of writers from the Caribbean. These writers in exile were responsible not just for the establishment of the West Indian novel, but, by virtue of their location in the Mother Country, were also the pioneers of black writing in Britain. Over the next fifty years, this writing would come to represent an important body of work intimately aligned to the evolving and contentious notions of 'home' as economic migration became a permanent presence. In this book, David Ellis provides in-depth analyses of six key figures whose writing charts the establishment of black Britain. For Sam Selvon, George Lamming, and E. R. Braithwaite, writing home represents a literature of reappraisal as the myths of empire-the gold-paved streets of London-conflict with the harsh realities of being designated an immigrant. The unresolved consequences of this reappraisal are made evident in the works of Andrew Salkey, Wilson Harris, and Linton Kwesi Johnson where radicalism in both political and literary terms can be read as a response to the rejection of the black communities by an increasingly divided Britain in the 1970s. Finally, the novels of Caryl Phillips, Joan Riley, and David Dabydeen mark an increasingly reflective literature as the notion of home shifts more explicitly from the Caribbean to Britain itself. Containing both contextual and biographical information throughout, "Writing Home" represents a literary and social history of the emergence of black Britain in the second half of the twentieth century.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. La metrología histórica se ocupa de los antiguos sistemas de medición, como conjuntos internamente estructurados, y de sus relaciones con el todo social del que surgen y en cuyo marco adquieren sentido. ?Los estudios metrológicos, ingratos sólo superficialmente, se transforman, en manos del investigador inteIigente, en herramientas de investigación capaces de revelar las grandes corrientes civilizadoras? (Marc Bloch). Toda medida, como institución social, es expresión de ciertas categorías de relaciones entre los hombres, y sobre estas relaciones puede proporcionarnos mucha información. Las interdependencias de las medidas, su desplazamiento, el cambio de sus denominaciones, pueden ser fuentes de conocimiento de las asociaciones culturales entre países y civilizaciones. La creciente unificación metrológica a lo largo de los tiempos constituye un claro índice de uno de los más importantes procesos históricos: el proceso de unificación de la humanidad. Durante el período jacobino, el sistema métrico se convirtió en objeto de orgullo nacional para la Francia revolucionaria, por constituir un don perfecto, invento del espíritu humano, ofrecido por Francia a ?todos los pueblos y todas las épocas? El sistema métrico debía ser universal, y en un principio, al igual que la libertad, fue llevado a todo el mundo en las puntas de las bayonetas. El sistema métrico fue creado por una determinada sociedad en una determinada fase de su historia. Pero las medidas premétricas poseen un rico y concreto contenido social, por tener carácter significativo y no convencional, por ser atributos de la autoridad e instrumento de los privilegios sociales, por constituir frecuentemente el punto focal en torno al que se desarrolla una batalla de clases a veces feroz. Witold Kula es una de las más conocidas figuras de la historiografía polaca actual. Siglo XXI ha publicado también su Teoría económica del sistema feudal. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
