Working-class interiors often seen the eyes of middle-class observers were at the bottom of the hierarchy and often reflected concerns of social inequality and misery. The documents also address the process of purchasing and decorating a home advice on decoration and home management the nature of taste and comfort and the symbolic roles of the home as an anchor in society.

Victoria and Albert at Home

Victoria and Albert at Home

First Published in 1980 Victoria and Albert at Home describes the sitting construction and decorating of the two royal residences at Osborne and Balmoral and paints a memorable portrait of the Queen’s family and her Court beside the Solent and the Dee. At the time of their marriage the royal couple had the use of many crown properties but except for Windsor Castle they found none to their taste and began to look for a home of their own. Sir Robert Peel found them an estate on the Isle of Wight which was peaceful beautiful and at that time sufficiently remote from London. However when access from London became swifter and easier their privacy was lost and they looked elsewhere for a second private family residence. A small estate in Scotland was recommended and Prince Albert once again designed the house this time in Scottish baronial style. Drawing on memories archives and family papers some of which with a number of illustrations have never been published before Tyler Whittle has written an interesting entertaining and vivid account of life at a time so very much more elegant and yet at the same time so very much robust than anything that can be imagined today. This is a must read for students and scholars of British history and Royal history.

Home Beyond the House Transformation of Life Place and Tradition in Rural China

Home Beyond the House Transformation of Life Place and Tradition in Rural China

Based on extended fieldwork conducted between 2007 and 2019 this book aims to answer a simple question: What is the meaning of home for people living in vernacular settlements in rural China? This question is particularly potent since rural China has experienced rapid and fundamental changes in the twenty-first century under the influences of national policies such as Building a New Socialist Countryside enacted in 2006 and Rural Revitalization announced in 2018. Drawing upon ethnographic fieldwork building surveys archival research and over 600 photographs taken by residents along with their life stories this book uncovers the meanings of home from rural residents’ perspectives who belong to a social group that is underrepresented in scholarship and underserved in modern China. In other words this study empowers rural residents by giving them voice. This book links the concepts of place home and tradition into an overarching argument: The meaning of home rests on the ideas of tradition including identity consanguinity collectivity social relations land ownership and rural lifestyle.

At Home with Ivan Vladislavić An African Flaneur Greens the Postcolonial City

At Home with Ivan Vladislavić An African Flaneur Greens the Postcolonial City

At Home With Ivan Vladislavić is the first comprehensive analysis of the works of Ivan Vladislavić. Bringing a flaneur’s internal GPS to postcolonial Johannesburg Vladislavić established a critical sense of home via an intimate knowledge of geography and history. This sense of belonging can have positive ecological effects as we tend to protect what we know. The flaneur’s deep word hoard also helped him to develop a minimalist style which was not only a means of living sustainably in the city but in its humour and close attention to detail a way to make greening the city more of a joy than a duty. In this way Vladislavić created a culture of sustainability.

Diasporic Mobilities on Vacation Tourism of European-Moroccans at Home

Diasporic Mobilities on Vacation Tourism of European-Moroccans at Home

Diasporic Mobilities on Vacation is a nuanced exploration of the embodied and affective practices of Moroccans from Europe visiting Morocco for summer vacation. Rather than characterizing them as uncomfortably split between homelands this book focuses on how their touristic leisure practices create their own space of diasporic belonging. An expert on Moroccan diaspora communities and mobile lifestyles the book draws on multi-sited and mobile ethnographic research to take the reader along on the journey ‘home’ and experience the daily lives of diasporic visitors. Their practices activities and encounters on vacation offer insights into larger issues of class leisure consumption and transnational belonging in South-to-North migration contexts. Concretely the book shows how these holiday encounters simultaneously generate integration into Morocco for migrant descendants who can feel at ‘home’ in this homeland and differentiation from others in how they embody ‘Moroccaness’ as social and material actors. This book shows how seemingly frivolous practices of leisure have material consequences for individuals who belong across homelands. Positioned at the intersection of migration studies leisure and tourism mobilities and ethnomethodology and practice theory this book is a worthwhile read for scholars and students—indeed anyone questioning or experiencing problems of belonging in transnational and diasporic contexts. | Diasporic Mobilities on Vacation Tourism of European-Moroccans at Home

Home-based Work in Victorian Britain Insights for Contemporary Occupational Health and Safety

Home-based Work in Victorian Britain Insights for Contemporary Occupational Health and Safety

Home- based work has increased in recent decades and intensified as a result of policies created to control the spread of COVID-19 creating a labour market in rapid transition. Yet little attention has been paid to the issues associated with occupational health and safety or to how employers will monitor and maintain employee health and safety in a home- based work environment. Using historical case studies from Victorian Britain this book reflects on the past to examine resurfacing health and safety concerns that shaped and continue to shape the home- based working experience. Anchored by family research case studies this book presents documents and newspaper accounts about the diverse experiences of three real people who lived and worked from their homes in the Victorian era. Supported by academic and popular literature on work and policy about the era the book discusses changing worldviews and social context that shaped occupational health and safety at the time and critiques the outcomes of policies that were challenged to address these risks. The case study experiences are used as a touchstone between the past and present to draw parallels between important health and safety concerns that may be resurfacing in our modern post-COVID transition to home-based work. This book will be a valuable resource for researchers academics and postgraduate students of occupational health and safety occupational science labour history and human resource management as well as Victorian studies. It will also be of interest to policymakers and practitioners working across the fields of workplace and occupational health and safety. | Home-based Work in Victorian Britain Insights for Contemporary Occupational Health and Safety

Translating Home in the Global South Migration Belonging and Language Justice

Translating Home in the Global South Migration Belonging and Language Justice

This collection explores the relationships between acts of translation and the movement of peoples across linguistic cultural and physical borders centering the voices of migrant writers and translators in literatures and language cultures of the Global South. To offer a counterpoint to existing scholarship this book examines translation practices as forms of both home-building and un-homing for communities in migration. Drawing on scholarship from translation studies as well as eco-criticism decolonial thought and gender studies the book’s three parts critically reflect on different dimensions of the intersection of translation and migration in a diverse range of literary genres and media. Part I looks at self-translation collaboration and cocreation as modes of expression born out of displacement and exile. Part II considers radical strategies of literary translation and the threats and opportunities they bring in situations of detention and border policing. Part III looks ahead to the ways in which translation can act as a powerful means of fostering responsibility solidarity and community in building an inclusive multilingual public sphere even in the face of climate crisis. This dynamic volume will be of particular interest to students and scholars in translation studies migration and mobility studies postcolonial studies and comparative literature. | Translating Home in the Global South Migration Belonging and Language Justice

Evacuee Encounters on the Soviet Home Front During the Second World War

Evacuee Encounters on the Soviet Home Front During the Second World War

This study is the first to examine the experiences of the millions of Soviet civilians evacuated to the interior of the country during the Second World War in the context of their encounters and relations with local communities and populations across Soviet Central Asia Kazakhstan Siberia and the Urals. The book considers the impact of this episode of massive population displacement across Eurasia on individuals communities and society more broadly. It explores how the challenges associated with wartime displacement gave rise to tensions between evacuees and local residents. These frictions in turn forced individuals to interrogate the meaning terms and limitations of citizenship and belonging in the Soviet Union. Evacuation thus played a critical role in the changing relationship between citizens and the Soviet state in the war and postwar periods. Furthermore this study pays particular attention to the plight of Soviet Jewish evacuees who constitute the largest contingent of Holocaust survivors in Europe and the rise of anti-Semitism on the Soviet home front during the war. This volume will be of interest to students and scholars of the Second World War migration and displacement the Holocaust Soviet Jewish history and the Soviet experience more broadly. | Evacuee Encounters on the Soviet Home Front During the Second World War

Intelligence Race And Genetics Conversations With Arthur R. Jensen

Intelligence Race And Genetics Conversations With Arthur R. Jensen

In a series of provocative conversations with Skeptic magazine Ssenior editor Frank Miele renowned University of California-Berkeley psychologist Arthur R. Jensen details the evolution of his thoughts on the nature of intelligence tracing an intellectual odyssey that leads from the programs of the Great Society to the Bell Curve Wars and beyond. Miele cross-examines Jensen's views on general intelligence (the g factor) racial differences in IQ cultural bias in IQ tests and whether differences in IQ are due primarily to heredity or to remediable factors such as poverty and discrimination. With characteristic frankness Jensen also presents his view of the proper role of scientific facts in establishing public policy such as Affirmative Action. 'Jensenism' the assertion that heredity plays an undeniably greater role than environmental factors in racial (and other) IQ differences has entered the dictionary and also made Jensen a bitterly controversial figure. Nevertheless Intelligence Race and Genetics carefully underscores the dedicated lifetime of scrupulously scientific research that supports Jensen's conclusions. | Intelligence Race And Genetics Conversations With Arthur R.

Regulating Gig Work Decent Labour Standards in a World of On-demand Work

Regulating Gig Work Decent Labour Standards in a World of On-demand Work

Digital revolution demands new approaches to regulating work. The ‘Uberisation’ of work is not in reality a new phenomenon. It reintroduces the practices of ‘on-demand’ engagement of labour common prior to the development of continuing employment. What is new however is the capacity of digital technology to engage labour in ways that avoid characterisation as employment according to the legal tests developed in the 20th century. This book tackles the challenge of ensuring that the emerging tribes of ‘gig’ workers in labour markets across the globe are afforded decent standards of work. This book discusses how to provide decent conditions and safe working standards for on-demand workers engaged through digital platforms. It interrogates the rise of gig work and the legal strategies that might be engaged to deal with the risk that on-demand work will fall and remain outside of employment protections. It draws on observations of practices across the globe but focusses particularly on regulatory solutions developed in Australia. The book will be a useful reference to policy making and legal reforms to address vulnerabilities of gig workers. | Regulating Gig Work Decent Labour Standards in a World of On-demand Work
