        The Simons of Manchester

        How one family shaped a city and a nation

        by Martin Dodge, John Ayshford, Diana Leitch, Stuart Jones, Janet Wolff

        The Simons of Manchester revives the history of one of Manchester's most influential families, the Simons. The book investigates the lives and public work of Henry and Emily Simon, and Ernest and Shena Simon. Through philanthropy and work in social reform, the two generations of the Simons greatly enriched Manchester's cultural and civic institutions, worked to improve the lives of its citizens, and helped to spearhead profound national reforms in health, housing, planning and education. While many people in Manchester are familiar with the Simon name through Shena Simon College, Simonsway, and the Simon Building at the University of Manchester, there is scant public knowledge of who the Simons were and their legacy. As such, this edited volume of collected essays aims to illuminate their fascinating lives and public service to rehabilitate the Simons and examine their local and national significance.

        Qatar and Iran

        Strategic hedging in small states foreign policy

        by Mirdef Alqashouti

        How was the 2017 Qatar Blockade crisis shaped by the history of diplomatic relations between Qatar and Iran? What foreign policy strategies has Qatar adopted in response to this crisis? How can we better conceptualise the limits of the relations between Qatar and Iran? This book examines the evolving nature of Qatar and Iran's diplomatic relations. Using historical analysis and first-hand accounts of high-level officials from both countries, especially in the aftermath of the 2017 Qatar Blockade crisis, it reveals a multifaceted and dynamic interaction between Qatar and Iran extending beyond politics into the realms of economics, tourism and culture. This book provides insights on the strategies small states implement in international relations, as well as contributes to understandings of geopolitics in the Middle East.

        Colonial discourse / postcolonial theory

        by Francis Barker, Peter Hulme, Margaret Iverson

        The issues of colonialism and imperialism have recently come to the forefront of thinking in the humanities. Disciplines such as history, literature and anthropology are taking stock of their extensive and usually unacknowledged legacy of Empire. At the same time, contemporary cultural theory has had to respond to post-colonial pressure, with its different registers and agendas. This volume ranges, geographically, from Brazil to India and South Africa, from the Andes to the Caribbean and the USA. This range is matched by a breadth of historical perspectives. Central to the whole volume is a critique of the very idea of the "postcolonial" itself. Contributors include Annie Coombes, Simon During, Peter Hulme, Neil Lazarus, David Lloyd, Anne McClintock, Zita Nunes, Benita Parry, Graham Pechey, Mary Louise Pratt, Renato Rosaldo and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak. ;
