Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Reveals how antebellum Philadelphia gothic writers used 'civic horror' to imagine dark alternative futures for the American republic, illuminating the contradictions inherent in the Declaration of Independence.This book reconsiders the founding document of the United States at a crucial moment in its history. Focusing on gothic fiction published in Philadelphia roughly during the period 1830-1855, Henry argues that the newly developing American national mythology also gave rise to much darker accounts of the nations descent into mob violence, corruption, and the breakdown of the rule of law. In stories that reconceive history as gothic romance, Edgar Allan Poe, George Lippard, and Robert Montgomery Bird developed a literary mode Henry calls 'civic horror', a mode that frequently wandered into the speculative territory of 'what if'. What if Independence Hall were razed to the ground, and in its place a royal palace was built? What if George Washington had accepted the Kings offer of a British peerage and turned traitor to the patriot cause? What if an unruly mob appropriated the Declaration of Independence as justification for its lawlessness or what if the lawlessness of the frontier came to characterise city life? Henry analyses such scenarios in Philadelphias antebellum gothic fiction and considers their relevance to U.S. politics at the Declarations 250th anniversary. While the United States celebrates the 250th anniversary of its founding, this timely book considers a darker legacy of the Declaration of Independence. Focusing on the work of three antebellum Philadelphia gothic writers, the author identifies a literary mode she calls 'civic horror' and examines its relevance to U.S. politics today.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Disappearing Cities is a collection of over fifty short stories of invented cities, set in the not too distant future, destroyed by varied climate change impacts and linked natural disasters.The stories bring into question the relation between the natural and unnatural forces of change and expose responses to, and lessons learnt, from different disaster crises situations. Stories also focus on how means to adapt are sought. The projected fictions are created from projected current climate facts; trends; and the authors experience of population displacement, relocation and design-based climate change responsive action. Central to the book is the recognition that to be able to respond and adapt to the scale of coming changes in the climate requires going beyond existing practical action and embracing a new way of imagining futures. Disappearing Cities aims to stimulate ways of meeting this need.The book opens with a Prologue that establishes the contextual frame of empirical foundation out of which the fictions are created. It recognises that we all live in a world in which the conditions that will result in huge numbers of cities disappearing are underway. From the human perspective, the process appears to be very slow, whereas in historico-geological time, it is happening exceptionally quickly. The number of the loss of cities is going to be huge, yet the recognition that this will occur is not arriving, In part, this is because of a lack of knowledge, but equally, it reflects a lack of imagination. Transposing what is known about climate change by a significant percentage of the societies of many nations to actual environments in which they live is just not arriving. What appears so solid and established fails to be seen and imagined as a risk and vulnerable. From establishing this opening perspective, the first part of the book presents stories of cities already disappearing as a result of the forces of nature changed by anthropogenically created global warming. Part two discusses the impacts of natural disasters being made unnaturally. For example, by the way industrial societies are damaging and changing natural systems, including the climatic. The final part goes to cities destroyed by completely unnatural means, including war.Disappearing Cities aims to contribute to meeting the need for a better understanding of, and ability to imagine, the risks to which vast numbers of cities are, and will be, exposed to forces of disappearance. To do this, the narratives are a hybrid of fact and fiction. The work was inspired by Italo Calvinos book Invisible Cities and is intended to be a salient contemporary companion to this text. It mirrors its form but differs in style and content. Invisible Cities attained diverse readership, Disappearing Cities aspires to do likewise. Disappearing Cities is a collection of short stories of invented cities, set in the not too distant future, destroyed by climate change impacts. The projected fictions are created from projected current climate facts. Inspired by Italo Calvinos book Invisible Cities, the work aims to be a salient contemporary companion text.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Explores major socio-economic trends that will define sub-Saharan Africa in the next three decades, focusing on the urgent need to create jobs in response to unprecedented demographic growth, through a combination of economic analysis and easy-to-read personal investment storiesThe near doubling of Africa's population by 2050 will lead to more than twenty million new job seekers entering the African labour market every year until then. Right now, Africa doesn't seem armed to offer jobs to this many people, resulting in possible unrest and intra-African or intercontinental migration flows, including to Europe. Climate change creates additional migratory pressure as it threatens the future of agriculture and livestock.The author explores the opportunities for increased job creation in Africa. Work provides income, and decent and meaningful jobs contribute to prospects and social stability. The evolution of the labour market is essential for the continent's future. Fortunately, Africa has some major strengths. The continent has the youngest population in the world and represents a wealth of creativity and innovation. Moreover, Africans excel in 'market-creating innovation': the ability to see market opportunities and innovations that others do not. Africans create their own jobs through micro and small enterprises. A young well-trained middle class, familiar with digital technologies, is emerging. Africa's abundant natural resources also attract global regional powers aspiring to secure access to critical raw materials, something the continent can use to its own advantage.Special attention goes to the European Union's Africa policy: the book takes a critical look at the European Union' intentions and approach and formulates recommendations to the European Commission. The author combines economic analysis with stories from twenty-five years of experience with impact investments in Africa. He challenges the typical pessimistic stereotypes about the continent and provides an optimistic vision of Africa's future. The Future of Employment in Africa: Demography, Labour Markets and Welfare explores the major socio-economic trends that will define the face of the sub-Saharan continent in the next three decades. It mainly focuses on the need to massively create jobs due to unseen demographic growth. The book combines economic analysis with stories of own investment experiences on the ground.
