        Milli and the Sugar Dragons

        by Deborah Spence, Nina Habermann, Nils Kiefer

        Milli and her friend Lotte are looking forward to a school trip to Hohenstein Castle. As Lotte has not been in Milli’s class for long, she does not yet know that Milli has diabetes. Milli explains her condition to her with sugar dragons and insulin knights. But neither of Milli’s parents has time to come on the trip with them and they don’t believe Milli can do it alone. Lotte and Milli think about how they can convince her parents, but all their attempts fail. Then Milli has the idea of inviting her godmother, who agrees to travel with them. This means that the trip is saved and Milli begins the eagerly anticipated adventure. Milli learns that she can do anything, but even knights need help sometimes. Diabetes is not only a physical impairment; it also has an effect on the everyday life and situation of the affected child. Milli’s story illustrates the problems faced by a child with diabetes and how to find a positive way to cope with the condition. For:• children of elementary school age(between 6 and 12 years) who sufferfrom diabetes mellitus• parents and relatives• therapists

        The harem, slavery and British imperial culture

        Anglo-Muslim relations in the late nineteenth century

        by Diane Robinson-Dunn

        This book focuses on British efforts to suppress the traffic in female slaves destined for Egyptian harems during the late-nineteenth century. It considers this campaign in relation to gender debates in England, and examines the ways in which the assumptions and dominant imperialist discourses of these abolitionists were challenged by the newly-established Muslim communities in England, as well as by English people who converted to or were sympathetic with Islam. While previous scholars have treated antislavery activity in Egypt first and foremost as an extension of earlier efforts to abolish plantation slavery in the New World, this book considers it in terms of encounters with Islam during a period which it argues marked a new departure in Anglo-Muslim relations. This approach illuminates the role of Islam in the creation of English national identities within the global cultural system of the British Empire. This book would appeal to those with an interest in British imperial history; Islam; gender, feminism, and women's studies; slavery and race; the formation of national identities; global processes; Orientalism; and Middle Eastern studies.

        100 years of European cinema

        Entertainment or ideology?

        by Diana Holmes, Alison Smith

        Cinema provides entertainment, but it also communicates a set of values, a vision of the world or an ideology. From its beginnings more than a century ago, European cinema has dealt with the tension between these two functions in a variety of ways: at the extremes, dictatorial regimes have sweetened the pill of ideology with the sugar of entertainment. Meanwhile, spectators have persisted in seeking out, above all, the pleasure film can provide. Now available again in paperback, this book explores the complex relationship between entertainment, ideology and audiences in European film, through studies that range from the Stalinist musicals of the 1930s, to cinematic representations of masculinity under Franco, to recent French films and their Hollywood remakes. Diverse and entertaining, this study is addressed to students of film - especially French, German, Russian or Spanish - and to those readers and academics interested in both the history of cinema and in European culture.
