The Suburban Frontier

Middle-Class Construction in Dar Es Salaam

By: Claire Mercer

African cities are under construction. Beyond the dazzling urban redevelopment schemes and large-scale infrastructure projects reconfiguring central city skylines, the majority of urban residents are putting their cash, energy, and aspirations into finding land and building homes on city edges. In the Tanzanian city of Dar es Salaam, the self-built suburban frontier has become the place where the middle classes are shaped. This book examines how investment in property-land, houses, and landscape-is central to middle-class formation and urban transformation in contemporary Africa"--

Curious Lessons in the Museum

The Pedagogic Potential of Artists' Interventions

By: Claire Robins

Amongst recent contemporary art and museological publications, there have been relatively few which direct attention to the distinct contributions that twentieth and twenty-first century artists have made to gallery and museum interpretation practices. There are fewer still that recognise the pedagogic potential of interventionist artworks in galleries and museums. This book fills that gap and demonstrates how artists have been making curious but, none-the-less, useful contributions to museum education and curation for some time. Claire Robins investigates in depth the phenomenon of artists' interventions in museums and examines their pedagogic implications. She also brings to light and seeks to resolve many of the contradictions surrounding artists' interventions, where on the one hand contemporary artists have been accused of alienating audiences and, on the other, appear to have played a significant role in orchestrating positive developments to the way that learning is defined and configured in museums. She examines the disruptive and parodic strategies that artists have employed, and argues for that they can be understood as part of a move to re-establish the museum as a discursive forum. This valuable book will be essential reading for students and scholars of museum studies, as well as art and cultural studies.

Critical Perspectives on Police Leadership

By: Davis, Claire,Silvestri, Marisa

In a critical analysis of conventional understanding, leading authors Claire Davis and Marisa Silvestri present bold new conceptualisations of police leadership. Drawing on empirical research in criminology, sociology and leadership studies, they present a thoughtful critique of the nature and practice of leadership in contemporary policing. The book: - Critically explores the identities of leaders and their positions within wider organisational structures and processes; - Provides a critique of contemporary reform to police professionalisation, training and education, equalities and diversity by situating these developments within wider historical, social and political contexts; - Draws on critical theory to offer an alternative, challenging and novel interpretation of police leaders as not simply the result of individual experiences and attitudes, but of the social, institutional and historical processes of policing and the cultures that exist within it; - Points towards future directions and a reimagining of leadership in the police. Accessible and stimulating, this is an essential text for policing students and valuable reading for current leaders and those interested in policing, criminology and leadership.

Awakening to the Good

By: Claire Myers Owens,John White

This inspiring volume is an odyssey of the author's search for what has been called cosmic consciousness. She explores a variety of avenues for awakening to the good in all human beings: religion, art, movement, meditation, nature and more. Abraham Maslow, the legendary psychologist said, "Exciting, fascinating, I read it in one sitting." In these often troubled times, this book offers a much needed confirmation of the basic, positive nature of human beings and the instinctive reach for something Higher that we all share, the quest we are all completing.
