    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-71826-4 - Rebel Journalism: The Writings of Wilfred Burchett Edited by George Burchett and Nick Shimmin Frontmatter More information Rebel Journalism The Writings of Wilfred Burchett This book is an anthology of the writings of Wilfred Burchett, perhaps the greatest journalist and war correspondent Australia has ever produced. He was also one of the most controversial figures of the Cold War, both here and overseas. Burchett published more than 30 books, and this volume brings together extracts from most of these, spanning the entire breadth of his career, from World War II, through Hiroshima, Eastern Europe, Korea, Russia, Laos, Cambodia, China, Vietnam, Angola, Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) and other areas from which Burchett reported. The book presents these documents of reportage mostly in chronological order, and thus serves not only as a significant historical overview of the period, but also as a reader in Cold War journalism. George Burchett is an artist and translator. In 2005 he co-edited, with Nick Shimmin, Memoirs of a Rebel Journalist: The Autobiography of Wilfred Burchett. Nick Shimmin completed a doctorate at the University of Lancaster in 1989 on the Manx writers T.E. Brown and Hall Caine. Since that time he has worked in sales and marketing and as a subtitling editor at the Special Broadcasting Service. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-71826-4 - Rebel Journalism: The Writings of Wilfred Burchett Edited by George Burchett and Nick Shimmin Frontmatter

However, he lived in Czechoslovakia only until 1939, when his family moved to Singapore. Stoppard, his mother, and his older brother were evacuated to India shortly before the Japanese invasion of Singapore in 1941; his father, Eugene Straussler, remained behind and was killed. In 1946, Stoppard's mother, Martha, married British army officer Kenneth Stoppard and the family moved to England, eventually settling in Bristol. Stoppard left school at the age of seventeen and began working as a journalist, first with the Western Daily Press (1954-58) and then with the Bristol Evening World (1958-60).

  • Framing 'The Other'. a Critical Review of Vietnam War Movies and Their Representation of Asians and Vietnamese.*
    Framing ‘the Other’. A critical review of Vietnam war movies and their representation of Asians and Vietnamese.* John Kleinen W e W ere Soldiers (2002), depicting the first major clash between regular North-Vietnamese troops and U.S. troops at Ia Drang in Southern Vietnam over three days in November 1965, is the Vietnam War version of Saving Private Ryan and The Thin Red Line. Director, writer and producer, Randall Wallace, shows the viewer both American family values and dying soldiers. The movie is based on the book W e were soldiers once ... and young by the U.S. commander in the battle, retired Lieutenant General Harold G. Moore (a John Wayne- like performance by Mel Gibson).1 In the film, the U.S. troops have little idea of what they face, are overrun and suffer heavy casualties. The American GIs are seen fighting for their comrades, not their fatherland. This narrow patriotism is accompanied by a new theme: the respect for the victims ‘on the other side’. For the first time in the Hollywood tradition, we see fading shots of dying ‘VC’ and of their widows reading loved ones’ diaries. This is not because the filmmaker was emphasizing ‘love’ or ‘peace’ instead of ‘war’, but more importantly, Wallace seems to say, that war is noble. Ironically, the popular Vietnamese actor, Don Duong, who plays the communist commander Nguyen Huu An who led the Vietnamese People’s Army to victory, has been criticized at home for tarnishing the image of Vietnamese soldiers. Don Duong has appeared in several foreign films and numerous Vietnamese-made movies about the War.

  • July to Dec OW Website 2 Lo
    ONEWORLD TURNS THIRTY This summer marks Oneworld’s 30th birthday, but it feels like the celebrations began a year early. 2015 was a truly extraordinary year for us, with almost a dozen prize nominations and three wins, among them the Man Booker Prize for Marlon James’ A Brief History of Seven Killings, the FT & McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award for The Rise of the Robots by Martin Ford and the Pushkin House Russian Book Prize for Serhii Plokhy’s The Last Empire. This year has seen more of Oneworld’s authors receive the awards and attention we think they thoroughly deserve: Emma Watson chose Gloria Steinem’s memoir, My Life on the Road, as the first read for her Our Shared Shelf Book Club, The Sellout by Paul Beatty won the prestigious National Book Critics Circle Award and was shortlisted for the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction, and the hugely promising debut writer Mia Alvar won the Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers Award for her stunning collection, In the Country. Oh, and we won the IPG Trade Publisher of the Year Award 2016. Oneworld was founded on a hunger for quality writing and a passion for connecting readers to the world around them. True to the promise of our name, we have always sought to be non-parochial, open-minded and cosmopolitan in taste. These values still lie at the very heart of the company 30 years on, and extend to both our new children and YA imprint Rock the Boat, which turns one this summer, and our new crime imprint, Point Blank, launched in February.

    WAR ME DIA JOHN PILGER Cold Type The Heyman Center for the Humanities at Columbia University in New York brought together John Pilger, Seymour Hersh, Robert Fisk and Charles Glass for a discus - sion entitled “Breaking the Silence: War, Lies and Empire” on 14 April 2006. This is a transcript of John Pilger’s address © John Pilger 2006 PAGE 2 JOHN PILGER: WAR BY MEDIA DURING the Cold War, a group of Russian jour - nalists toured the United States. On the final day of their visit, they were asked by their hosts for their impressions. “I have to tell you,” said their spokesman, “that we were as - tonished to find, after reading all the newspapers and watching TV, that all the opinions on all the vital issues were, by and large, the same. To get that result in our country, we imprison people, we tear out their fingernails. Here, you don’t have that. What’s the secret? How do you do it?” What is the secret? It’s a question now urgently asked of those whose job is to keep the record straight: who in this country have extraordinary constitutional freedom. I refer to journalists, of course, a small group who hold privileged sway over the way we think, even the way we use language. I have been a journalist for more than 40 years. Although I am based in London, I have worked all over the world, including the United States, and I have reported America’s wars. My experience is that what the Russian journalists were referring to is censorship by omis - sion, the product of a parallel world of unspoken truth and public myths and lies: in other words, censorship by journalism, which today has become war by journalism.

  • Jacqueline Woodson Is the Bestselling Author of More Than Two Dozen
    ABOUT THE AUTHOR Jacqueline Woodson is the bestselling author of more than two dozen award-winning books for young adults, middle graders and children, includ- ing the New York Times bestselling memoir Brown Girl Dreaming, which won the 2014 National Book Award, the Coretta Scott King Award, a Newbery Honor Award, an NAACP Image Award, and the Sibert Honor Award. Woodson was recently named the Young People’s Poet Laureate by the Poetry Founda- tion. She lives with her family in Brooklyn, New York. PRAISE FOR ANOTHER BROOKLYN “Woodson’s unsparing story of a girl becoming a woman recalls some of the genre’s all-time greats: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, The Bluest Eye and especially, with its darkly poetic language, The House on Mango Street.” —Time “Woodson does for young black girls what short story master Alice Munroe does for poor rural ones: She im- bues their everyday lives with significance.” Elle— “In Jacqueline Woodson’s soaring choral poem of a novel…four young friends…navigate the perils of ado- lescence, mean streets, and haunted memory in 1970s Brooklyn, all while dreaming of escape.” —Vanity Fair Another Brooklyn - UK text.indd 1 12/12/2016 11:11:13 “Woodson writes lyrically about what it means to be a girl in America, and what it means to be black in Amer- ica. Each sentence is taut with potential energy, but the story never bursts into tragic flames; it stays strong and subtle throughout.” —Huffington Post “Another Brooklyn joins the tradition of studying female friendships and the families we create when our own isn’t enough, like that of Toni Morrison’s Sula, Tayari Jones’ Silver Sparrow and Zami: A New Spelling of My Name by Audre Lorde.
