Tunisian Dreams

By: Ivor Rawlinson

Celia, an ex-BBC journalist turned film director, is in Tunisia a year before the Arab Spring with her handsome, archaeologist boyfriend, Sam, looking for locations for her next film. She comes across a story she cannot resist. She could not know that it would change her life, blunt her emotions, but make her name. Whilst Celia is out of contact for weeks following her story, Sam thinks she's found someone else. Once back in London, he falls for the attractive and rich Alison Grainger. Sam, who has always been money conscious, has his own lucrative project; to turn one of Tunisia's most interesting Roman ruins into a living Roman-era town, with actors in togas, nudes in the public baths and gladiators - financed by the cynical, immensely rich Mr Ayeb. But Sam has a dilemma: he's uncovered something sensational at the site. It needs excavating but to do so would hold up the living town project - and Mr Ayeb's projects are never held up. In a beautiful country ripe for revolt, this is a story of a man and two women: secrets suppressed, feminine curiosity, an epic quest and migration from Africa - the problem no one wants to face. We are given fascinating insights into the rites of the citizens of Roman Africa in 200 AD. We're cleverly engaged in the debate about commercialising our heritage and the plight of sub-Saharan Africans looking for a better life. The characters are true to life: interesting but flawed. Suspense is maintained to the very end when the threads are drawn together in an unexpected, spectacular and profoundly moving ending. Written by an ex-Ambassador to Tunisia, with an assured style and great sensitivity, this is an exceptionally readable and thoughtful page-turner.

Everyday Violence in Britain, 1850-1950

Gender and Class

By: Shani D'Cruze,Ivor Crewe

The diverse violence of modern Britain is hardly new. The Britain of 1850 to 1950 was similarly afflicted. The book is divided into four parts. 'Getting Hurt' which looks at everyday violence in the home (including a chapter on infanticide). 'Uses and Rejections' two chapters on the use of violence within groups of men and women outside the home (for example, violence within youth gangs, and male violence centred around pubs). 'Going Public' three chapters on how violence was regulated by law and the professional agencies which were set up to deal with it. 'Perceptions and Representations' this final section looks at how violence was written about, using both fiction and non-fiction sources. Throughout the book the recurring themes of gender, class, continuity and change, public/private, and experience, discourses and representations are highlighted.

The Background of Immigrant Children

The Background of Immigrant Children

By: Ivor Morrish

First published in 1971, The Background of Immigrant Children offers a deeper understanding of the diversity and richness of the customs, cultures, and religious convictions of the minority groups in a multiracial society. Ivor Morrish argues that in order to go beyond the mere tolerance of the other groups, it is becoming one of the important functions of the teacher to assist in the development of social awareness in his pupils and this must include a sympathetic involvement in the cultural ideas and outlook of groups from all over the world. This book is an attempt to introduce the teacher in training to three of the main coloured immigrant groups in Britain (West Indians, Indians, and Pakistanis), and to some of the problems that culture contact poses. This book will be a useful resource for scholars and researchers of education, multiculturalism, sociology, and social anthropology.
