  • George Orwell Boys' Weeklies
    George Orwell Boys' weeklies You never walk far through any poor quarter in any big town without coming upon a small newsagent's shop. The general appearance of these shops is always very much the same: a few posters for the Daily Mail and the News of the World outside, a poky little window with sweet-bottles and packets of Players, and a dark interior smelling of liquorice allsorts and festooned from floor to ceiling with vilely printed twopenny papers, most of them with lurid cover-illustrations in three colours. Except for the daily and evening papers, the stock of these shops hardly overlaps at all with that of the big news-agents. Their main selling line is the twopenny weekly, and the number and variety of these are almost unbelievable. Every hobby and pastime — cage-birds, fretwork, carpentering, bees, carrier-pigeons, home conjuring, philately, chess — has at least one paper devoted to it, and generally several. Gardening and livestock-keeping must have at least a score between them. Then there are the sporting papers, the radio papers, the children's comics, the various snippet papers such as Tit-bits, the large range of papers devoted to the movies and all more or less exploiting women's legs, the various trade papers, the women's story-papers (the Oracle, Secrets, Peg's Paper, etc. etc.), the needlework papers — these so numerous that a display of them alone will often fill an entire window — and in addition the long series of ‘Yank Mags’ (Fight Stories, Action Stories, Western Short Stories, etc.), which are imported shop-soiled from America and sold at twopence halfpenny or threepence.

    FORUM: QUALITATIVE Volume 10, No. 3, Art. 21 SOCIAL RESEARCH September 2009 SOZIALFORSCHUNG Insecure Belongings: A Family of Ethnic Germans from the Former Soviet Union in Germany Jana Ballenthien & Corinne Büching Key words: Abstract: This article takes a look at the transformation of constructions of belonging during the biographies of course of life, and how they are embedded in family and collective history. Based on a case study migration; of three women belonging to one family, who as ethnic Germans migrated in the early 1990's from construction of the Soviet Union to Germany, we were able to demonstrate how questions of belonging were collective initiated by the migration process and the attributes ascribed to them in their country of arrival. belonging; Different family members were seen to perform different strategies of biographical work. This was biographical work; due to their unique autobiographical experience and their belonging to different historical former Soviet generations. Thus, the grandmother's experience of deportation from the Volga Republic to Siberia Union during the course of the Second World War was reactivated during her emigration to Germany. This reconfirmed her construction of belonging as a Volga German. Whereas after migration her daughter in law conceptualizes her belonging as a question of membership of a religious we-group. Her granddaughter, however, before and after emigration successfully searched a connection of the sense of belonging to her family of origin and her peer groups, first in Soviet society which was influenced by the predominantly Russian culture, and later in German society.

  • Remembering "Norris Buzz Johnson" November 2 1951 to February 11, 2014
    Eulogy: Remembering "Norris Buzz Johnson" November 2 1951 to February 11, 2014 Memorial Service Saturday March 1st. 2014 at 1 pm All Saint's Church Haggerston Road Hackney London E8 4EP I recall Buzz gave me a birthday gift many years ago and it was a book entitled “Return to the Source” written by the late Amilcar Cabral. My words today will be in the form of a journey where I briefly return to the source of our brother’s foundations in Tobago and then Trinidad and the journey here to the UK and his growth and development and he will be making his final journey when the body returns to Tobago. Return to the Source: Norris Chrisleventon Johnson was the first and only son of Mrs Adwina Johnson nee Phillips and the late Cornelius Arthur Johnson. He was born in the fishing village of Buccoo in Tobago on November 2 1951. The family migrated to Fyzabad in South Trinidad, one of the villages that housed many workers from the oilfields in Point Fortin and its environs. His father Cornelius was on oilfield worker and was obviously influenced and inspired by a key political and labour activist and leader, Tubal Uriah Buzz Butler. He therefore called his son Buzz. That name has stuck with him ever since. The Fyzabad area was the main bastion of the Butlerite movement. Tubal Uriah Buzz Butler was a fierce defender of workers’ rights and earned his place in Trinidad and Tobago's history for his role during the turbulent days of June 1937. This was the period of the labour riots and the development of the trade union movement in Trinidad & Tobago and in particular of the Oilfield Workers Trade Union.

  • The Discursive Construction of Co-Ethnic Migration
    Olga Zeveleva THE DISCURSIVE CONSTRUCTION OF CO-ETHNIC MIGRATION BASIC RESEARCH PROGRAM WORKING PAPERS SERIES: SOCIOLOGY WP BRP 61/SOC/2015 This Working Paper is an output of a research project implemented within NRU HSE’s Annual Thematic Plan for Basic and Applied Research. Any opinions or claims contained in this Working Paper do not necessarily reflect the views of HSE. Olga Zeveleva1 THE DISCURSIVE CONSTRUCTION OF CO-ETHNIC 3 MIGRATION 1 This paper investigates the discursive construction of co-ethnic migration in German society. Taking a biographical study on ethnic Germans from the former Soviet Union as a starting point, the author traces co-ethnic immigrant pathways in German society and analyzes the legal frameworks, institutions, and organizations encountered by these migrants. The author employs a critical discourse analysis approach to texts relating to a camp where newly arriving immigrants live and undergo registration. The article proposes a new way of researching discursive construction, using biographical interviews as a starting point for identifying “localities of discourse” which are important to the group in question. Such an approach allows us to find relevant sources of discourse in a way that is grounded in empirical material, and subsequently to account for which discourses are appropriated by members of certain social groups, such as co-ethnic migrants. The article thus builds a bridge between biographical sociology and critical discourse analysis, using the former as a point of departure for framing the selection of materials for implementing the latter. The article makes a methodological contribution by introducing the concept “locality of discourse” as a bridge between biographical sociology and critical discourse analysis.

  • Narrating the Empire Windrush
    “Remember the ship”: Narrating the Empire Windrush Hannah Lowe Brunel University *Email: [email protected] Despite the ubiquity of the SS Empire Windrush as a symbol of postwar Caribbean migration to Britain, there are few literary evocations of its journey and arrival, and of those, the majority are literary commissions from 1998, the year in which the ship was to become legendary. The synthetic nature of the literary engagement with the ship confirms its own construction as an historical event made retrospectively famous. This article describes and interrogates the 1998 rise to prominence of the Windrush, before examining the relationship of the actual ship to literary/cultural criticism and literary works. It contends that the small body of poetic and fictional narratives about the Windrush both problematize elements of a dominant Windrush narrative while simultaneously confirming the ship’s primacy. Keywords: please add 6 Windrush, Caribbean migration, James Berry, Jackie Kay, Benjamin Zephaniah, John Agard In her short story “Out of Hand” (1998), Jackie Kay describes the Empire Windrush as a “huge fiction”, in reference to the history and arrival of that particular ship and its role in postwar Caribbean migration. Her revision of the iconic 1948 Pathé newsreel of the ship’s arrival (which had featured only male migrants) depicts a female protagonist, Rose, stepping from the ship on to British ground. The focus on Rose interjects a woman’s perspective into a historical narrative with a strong male bias, and Kay’s sense of the ship as a “fiction” is intricately tied to the false promise of the “mother country”, which rather than welcoming the young and optimistic Rose, subjects her to a battery of racism endured over decades.
