Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In a new and updated edition, Writing Histories: Imagination and Narration is a book for anyone wanting to write histories that capture the imagination and challenge the intellect. It aims to show that historical narrative and imagination can work together to produce works of history that are a pleasure to read. Nine historians reflect on their work as writers, exploring some of the most difficult and interesting questions any history-writer faces: how to get started, how to find a 'voice', how to enliven a description or a narration, and how to find a worthwhile structure. Contributors also suggest how historians can convey multiple perspectives, 'show' rather than tell, foreground the research process, find inspiration from music, painting and landscape, and use literary techniques such as metaphor. The book will be a useful text for teachers and students in history-writing classes and informal groups. There are suggestions for group exercises, and advice on how to conduct writing workshops. However, many historians, both students and established writers, will continue to write in relative isolation. This book is also intended for them.

Paperback. Condición: New. Paul Robeson was once the most famous African American in the world. Not only was he a renowned singer and actor with a stunning bass baritone voice, he was also a former professional athlete, lawyer and civil rights activist. Paul and his wife, Eslanda-a notable civil rights activist, author, United Nations journalist and anthropologist-were finally able to tour Australia and New Zealand. First mooted in the 1930s, it had been delayed by war and then the Cold War, when Paul's outspoken support for the Soviet Union and against his country's race relations had led the US government to deny him a passport until 1958. Now, in 1960, the tour occurred at a time when the world was at the tipping point between the Cold War 1950s and the turbulent 1960s. The Robesons' tour encompassed concerts-the first one ever at the Sydney Opera House, which was still under construction-talks to unionists, fans, women's organisations, communists, and peace activists. It involved active engagement with Indigenous peoples and their struggles in both countries. Through the Robesons' eyes we see life on the far Left, the emergence of new forms of Aboriginal and Maori protest, and the reception and influence of African American entertainers in Australia and New Zealand. By bringing Eslanda's work as a writer and journalist to the fore, historian Ann Curthoys sheds light on the intersections of race, gender and women's political activism. Based on extensive new documentary and oral history research, The Last Tour explores why Paul and Eslanda Robeson's trip was such a success and how it exerted a profound influence both at the time and over future generations.…

No man Ive ever met has so impressed me with his personal greatness.
