Kwaku’s work is a testament to Brent’s contribution to the evolution of British black music and the commercial infrastructure to support it. His research contained separate sections on labels, shops, artists, radio stations and sound systems. In this version we have amalgamated these into a single ‘encyclopedia’ and added entries that cover the period between 2007-2020.

    Selling the Second Cold War: Antinuclear Cultural Activism and Reagan Era Foreign Policy A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy William M. Knoblauch March 2012 © 2012 William M. Knoblauch. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Selling the Second Cold War: Antinuclear Cultural Activism and Reagan Era Foreign Policy by WILLIAM M. KNOBLAUCH has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by __________________________________ Chester J. Pach Associate Professor of History __________________________________ Howard Dewald Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT KNOBLAUCH, WILLIAM M., Ph.D., March 2012, History Selling the Second Cold War: Antinuclear Cultural Activism and Reagan Era Foreign Policy Director of Dissertation: Chester J. Pach This dissertation examines how 1980s antinuclear activists utilized popular culture to criticize the Reagan administration’s arms buildup. The 1970s and the era of détente marked a decade-long nadir for American antinuclear activism. Ronald Reagan’s rise to the presidency in 1981 helped to usher in the “Second Cold War,” a period of reignited Cold War animosities that rekindled atomic anxiety. As the arms race escalated, antinuclear activism surged. Alongside grassroots movements, such as the nuclear freeze campaign, a unique group of antinuclear activists—including publishers, authors, directors, musicians, scientists, and celebrities—challenged Reagan’s military buildup in American mass media and popular culture. These activists included Fate of the Earth author Jonathan Schell, Day After director Nicholas Meyer, and “nuclear winter” scientific-spokesperson Carl Sagan.

  • The Memory of Slavery in Liverpool in Public Discourse from the Nineteenth Century to the Present Day
    The Memory of Slavery in Liverpool in Public Discourse from the Nineteenth Century to the Present Day Jessica Moody PhD University of York Department of History April 2014 Abstract This thesis maps the public, collective memory of slavery in Liverpool from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the present day. Using a discourse-analytic approach, the study draws on a wide range of ‘source genres’ to interrogate processes of collective memory across written histories, guidebooks, commemorative occasions and anniversaries, newspapers, internet forums, black history organisations and events, tours, museums, galleries and the built environment. By drawing on a range of material across a longue durée, the study contributes to a more nuanced understanding of how this former ‘slaving capital of the world’ has remembered its exceptional involvement in transatlantic slavery across a two hundred year period. This thesis demonstrates how Liverpool’s memory of slavery has evolved through a chronological mapping (Chapter Two) which places memory in local, national and global context(s). The mapping of memory across source areas is reflected within the structure of the thesis, beginning with ‘Mapping the Discursive Terrain’ (Part One), which demonstrates the influence and intertextuality of identity narratives, anecdotes, metaphors and debates over time and genre; ‘Moments of Memory’ (Part Two), where public commemorative occasions, anniversaries and moments of ‘remembrance’ accentuate issues of ‘performing’ identity and the negotiation of a dissonant past; and ‘Sites of Memory’ (Part Three), where debate and discourse around particular places in Liverpool’s contested urban terrain have forged multiple lieux de memoire (sites of memory) through ‘myths’ of slave bodies and contestations over race and representation.

  • 1 the Jack Hylton Archive, Lancaster University: a Report on Its Current
    The Jack Hylton Archive, Lancaster University: A Report on its Current State and the Potential Research, Performance and Educational Opportunities (April 2007) Adam Greig, Deborah M awer 1. Introduction: brief history The Jack Hylton Archive contained within the Rare Books Archive of Lancaster University‘s Library is ostensibly the largest collection of materials and memorabilia pertaining to the bandleader‘s life, work and phenomenal success. This Archive was presented to the University by the Jack Hylton Estate some time following Hylton‘s death in 1965; prior to this the collection had been housed in the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane.1 The connection between Lancaster University and the Hylton name is also strengthened by the Jack Hylton Music Room, presented to the University with funds raised by The Stars Shine for Jack concert on 28 May 1965.2 The collection arrived unsorted, and remained that way until completion of the Rare Book Archive in 1997 when it was transferred to its current housing and work began on assembling a usable, catalogued source. Although work on the Archive has been continuous since being relocated, it is still far from being entirely sorted; nonetheless it is already possible to use the Archive for research purposes, and to ascertain the potential that it may offer when cataloguing is complete. 2. Archive contents The physical materials within the Archive include: music arrangements, newspaper cuttings, programmes, appointment diaries, 78 rpm and 12“ records, photographs, libretti, publicity flyers and posters, and memorabilia. 2.1 M anuscript band arrangements 0or the purposes of the Hylton Project (December 2006-April 2007), involving Dr Deborah Mawer as Principal Investigator and Adam Grieg as part-time Research Assistant (funded by PALATINE buy-out), the most pertinent source has been the 1 Materials relating Jack Hylton and the Adelphi Theatre, as well as some of the materials associated with circus, and funfair management are still held in the Theatre Museum, London.

Ken Major, our illustrious hard working membership secretary, coined the perfect phrase whilst enthusiastically describing the evening thus - “Heart and Soul Of Tales From The Woods” - that folks shall head all future advertising art work for what we sincerely hope will be many twice/thrice annually events. Whilst in the surrounding streets, the hoi polloi were crowding and shoving inside pubs and bars, shouting above a predictable canned soundtrack, or clung on to their glasses amongst the cacophony and pollution of the city streets outside the establishments of their choice, not for us Woodies; we were inside in comfort, recreating an age now sadly past when live music rang from countless venues in this historical, vibrant and sometimes seedy area of London.

  • Beatles History – Part One: 1956–1964
    BEATLES HISTORY – PART ONE: 1956–1964 January 1956–June 1957: The ‘Skiffle Craze’ In January 1956, Lonnie Donegan’s recording of “Rock Island Line” stormed into the British hit parade and started what would become known as the ‘skiffle craze’ in Great Britain (vgl. McDevitt 1997: 3). Skiffle was originally an amateur jazz style comprising elements of blues, gospel, and work songs. The instrumentation resembled New Or- leans street bands called ‘spasms,’ which relied on home-made instru- ments. Before skiffle was first professionally recorded by American jazz musicians in the 1920s and 1930s, it had been performed at ‘rent parties’ in North American cities like Chicago and Kansas City. Many African- American migrant workers organized rent parties in order to raise money for their monthly payments (vgl. Garry 1997: 87). Skiffle provided the musical entertainment at these parties, as everybody was able to partici- pate in the band, which usually consisted of home-made acoustic guitars or a piano backed by a rhythm section of household instruments, such as a washboard, a washtub bass, and a jug (vgl. McDevitt 1997:16). Jazz trumpeter and guitarist Ken Colyer pioneered the skiffle scene in Great Britain. In 1949, he formed the Crane River Jazz Band in Cran- ford, Middlesex, together with Ben Marshall (guitar), Pat Hawes (wash- board), and Julian Davies (bass). Their repertoire included skiffle songs “to illustrate aspects of the roots of jazz and to add variety to a pro- gramme” (Dewe 1998: 4). After leaving the group in 1951, Colyer mi- grated to the United States to work with jazz musicians in New Orleans.
