The Identification of Radicals in the British Parliament
1 HANSEN 0001 040227 名城論叢 2004年3月 31 THE IDENTIFICATION OF ‘RADICALS’ IN THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT, 1906-1914 P.HANSEN INTRODUCTION This article aims to identify the existence of a little known group of minority opinion in British society during the Edwardian Age. It is an attempt to define who the British Radicals were in the parliaments during the years immediately preceding the Great War. Though some were particularly interested in the foreign policy matters of the time,it must be borne in mind that most confined their energies to promoting the Liberal campaign for domestic welfare issues. Those considered or contemporaneously labelled as ‘Radicals’held ‘leftwing’views, being politically somewhat just left of centre. They were not revolutionaries or communists. They wanted change through reforms carried out in a democratic manner. Their failure to carry out changes on a significant scale was a major reason for the decline of the Liberals,and the rise and ultimate success of the Labour Party. Indeed, following the First World War, many Radicals defected from the Liberal Party to join Labour. With regard to historiography,it can be stated that the activities of British Radicals from the turn of the century to the outbreak of the First World War were the subject of interest to the most famous British historian of the second half of the 20century, A. J. P. Taylor. He wrote of them in his work The Troublemakers based on his Ford Lectures of 1956. By the early 1970s’A.J.A.Morris had established a reputation in the field with his book Radicalism Against War, 1906-1914 (1972),and a further publication of which he was editor,Edwardian Radical- ism 1900-1914 (1974). -
Tempered Radicals and Servant Leaders: Portraits of Spirited Leadership Amongst African Women Leaders
TEMPERED RADICALS AND SERVANT LEADERS: PORTRAITS OF SPIRITED LEADERSHIP AMONGST AFRICAN WOMEN LEADERS Faith Wambura Ngunjiri A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF EDUCATION May 2006 Committee: Judy A. Alston, Advisor Laura B. Lengel Graduate Faculty Representative Mark A. Earley Khaula Murtadha © 2006 Faith Wambura Ngunjiri All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Judy A. Alston, Advisor There have been few studies on experiences of African women in leadership. In this study, I aimed at contributing to bridging that literature gap by adding the voices of African women leaders who live and work in or near Nairobi Kenya in East Africa. The purpose of this study was to explore, explain and seek to understand women’s leadership through the lived experiences of sixteen women leaders from Africa. The study was an exploration of how these women leaders navigated the intersecting oppressive forces emanating from gender, culture, religion, social norm stereotypes, race, marital status and age as they attempted to lead for social justice. The central biographical methodology utilized for this study was portraiture, with the express aim of celebrating and learning from the resiliency and strength of the women leaders in the face of adversities and challenges to their authority as leaders. Leadership is influence and a process of meaning making amongst people to engender commitment to common goals, expressed in a community of practice. I presented short herstories of eleven of the women leaders, and in depth portraits of the other five who best illustrated and expanded the a priori conceptual framework. -
The Jersey Way”- Moving on Iselin Jones, BA(Hons), MA, LLB
“The Jersey Way”- moving on Iselin Jones, BA(Hons), MA, LLB. Paralegal, Corbett Le Quesne. Phil Palmer LLB, MA. Associate Professor, Institute of Law Jersey Abstract The 2017 Jersey Independent Care Inquiry report identified decades of significant child protection failures within the care system in Jersey. It also highlighted the ‘Jersey Way’ which it described as ‘a failure to establish a culture of openness and transparency, leading to a perception at least, of collusion and cover up’. The report made numerous recommendations designed to improve child protection arrangements on the Island. This article discusses the extent to which the outcome of the public inquiry will deliver justice for the victims of abuse. We argue that Inquiries are influenced by political bias, often failing to deliver what Burton and Carlen term discourse closure. We suggest adopting McAlinden and Naylor’s hybrid approach to justice, involving a combination of procedural and restorative justice, to bring the victims a true sense of closure. Key Words: Public Inquiries. Child Abuse. Procedural and Restorative Justice. The ‘Jersey Way’. Introduction The Jersey Independent Care Inquiry Report (JICIR) was hoped to draw a line once and for all over one of Jersey’s darkest periods. The report was initiated by the launch of Operation Rectangle in September 2007, originally an investigation into allegations of historical sexual abuse within the Jersey Sea Cadets before it expanded to include the former children’s home Haut de la Garenne (HDLG). It was only a few weeks later that revelations began pouring out from the HDLG investigation site. The island was in the throes of a moral panic- to the point where a coconut shell was mistaken for a child’s skull. -

Libertines and Radicals in Early Modern London: Sexuality, Politics, and Literary Culture, 1630-1685 James Grantham Turner Frontmatter More Information
Cambridge University Press 0521782791 - Libertines and Radicals in Early Modern London: Sexuality, Politics, and Literary Culture, 1630-1685 James Grantham Turner Frontmatter More information LIBERTINES AND RADICALS IN EARLY MODERN LONDON A ‘Deluge of Libertinism’ swept through England in the turbulent seventeenth century: class and gender relations went into deep crisis, and sexually explicit literature took the blame. Bridging periods of- ten kept apart, Libertines and Radicals analyses English sexual culture between the Civil Wars and the death of Charles II in unprece- dented detail. James Grantham Turner examines a broad range of Civil War and Restoration texts, from sex-crime records to Milton’s epics and Rochester’s ‘mannerly obscene’ lyrics. Turner places spe- cial emphasis on women’s writing and on pornographic texts like The Wandring Whore and The Parliament of Women, flavoured with cock- ney humour or ‘Puritan’ indignation. Throughout, Turner reads satirical texts, whether political or pornographic, as an attempt to neutralize women’s efforts to establish their own institutions and their own voice. This exhaustive study will be of interest to cultural historians as well as literary scholars. JAMES GRANTHAM TURNER is Professor of English at the University of California at Berkeley. He is the author of The Politics of Landscape: Rural Scenery and Society in English Poetry, 1630–1660 (1979) and One Flesh: Paradisal Marriage and Sexual Relations in the Age of Milton (1987) and editor of Sexuality and Gender in Early Modern Europe: -
