Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

  • Orwell's Crystal Chandelier
    Orwell’s Crystal Chandelier – Steve Wadhams May – July 2010 Orwell’s Crystal Chandelier May – July 2010 Steve Wadhams I began the Preface to my book “Remembering Orwell” by noting “with some discomfort that I am an exact contemporary – thirty-nine years old in 1984 – of Winston Smith” and that “I am writing this book on April 4th, the very day on which Smith began his rebellion against Big Brother”. Winston Smith‟s job at the Ministry of Truth was to rewrite history. “Remembering Orwell” was an attempt to preserve it, by presenting more or less verbatim the thoughts and memories of 80 people who knew either George Orwell or Eric Blair – conversations I recorded for my five hour radio documentary; “George Orwell: A radio biography”, which aired across Canada and the USA, on January 1st 1984. Well, twenty five years later I‟m still alive and well and still a full time radio producer at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. However, most of the people who kindly agreed to be interviewed all those years ago have now passed on. But if I want to bring any one of them back to life and power and thought, restored to their 1983 selves all I have to do is pull out the box that‟s been sitting under my desk all this time, pick any one of the 60 or so cassette tapes which hold the original unedited conversations, put it into the machine and press „play‟. Of course I don't have a recording of Orwell himself because there aren't any, but I see his face every day.

Welcome DEAR FRIENDS, Welcome to Chicago’s home for Shakespeare. Today’s presentation marks the return of two of our seminal international partners: the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre of Scotland. Their collaboration on Dunsinane has created a tour-de-force, penned by modern-day Scottish playwright David Greig. By boldly imaging the complicated power struggle following the demise of King Macbeth, Greig provokes a timely dialog on the complexities of nation- building following an invasion of epic proportion. The original play is one of the greatest tragedies ever written. To have it followed 400 years later by an equally complicated, nuanced tale is theatrically thrilling. Through our World’s Stage Series, we are honored to serve as a cultural ambassador by importing leading international companies like the RSC and National Theatre of Scotland to Chicago. In the spirit of cultural exchange, we are also increasingly exporting our own work to the world.

For the full text of this licence, please go to: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/ Elective and Experiential Affinities: British and American Foreign Correspondents and the Spanish Civil War David Deacon Abstract This article examines the experiences, attitudes and perceptions of British and American correspondents who reported on the Spanish Civil War directly. The analysis shows that the international news net in the war was more extensive and effectively organised in Republican held territories; and that, taken overall, the political sympathies of the international news corps inclined more towards the Republicans. With some journalists, these reflected pre-existing political viewpoints, but in many cases these sympathies were forged through their experiences in Spain. The article concludes with a discussion of the impact these political positions had on journalists’ interpretations of their professional roles and responsibilities. Keywords: Foreign correspondents; international news; Spanish Civil War; propaganda. Introduction There are increasing concerns that standards of foreign correspondence in British and American news media are not what they were. Academic and journalistic sources have identified declining levels of foreign news coverage, decreasing editorial investment in foreign news desks, and, with the advent of new technologies and presentational formats, an emerging news culture that values immediacy over measured analysis (MacGregor, 1997; Fenton,2005; Parks, 2002).
