The first referendum

Reassessing Britain's entry to Europe, 1973–75

By: Lindsay Aqui

Although the United Kingdom’s entry to the European Community (EC) in 1973 was initially celebrated, by the end of the first year the mood in the UK had changed from ‘hope to uncertainty’. When Edward Heath lost the 1974 General Election, Harold Wilson returned to No. 10 promising a fundamental renegotiation and referendum on EC membership. By the end of the first year of membership, 67% of voters had said ‘yes’ to Europe in the UK’s first-ever national referendum. Examining the relationship between diplomacy and domestic debate, this book explores the continuities between the European policies pursued by Heath and Wilson in this period. Despite the majority vote in favour of maintaining membership, Lindsay Aqui argues that this majority was underpinned by a degree of uncertainty and that ultimately, neither Heath nor Wilson managed to transform the UK’s relationship with the EC in the ways they had hoped possible.

Hearing the Mermaid's Song

The Umbanda Religion in Rio de Janeiro

By: Lindsay Hale

The Umbanda religion summons the spirits of old slaves and Brazilian Indians to speak through the mouths of mediums in trance. Its practitioners worship African gods, often calling them by the names of Catholic saints; simultaneously embrace the concepts of karma, reincarnation, and Christian charity; and believe in the capacities of both modern science and ancient magic. A relatively new religion dating to the beginning of the twentieth century, Umbanda has its origins in Rio de Janeiro and its surrounding urban areas where Afro-Brazilians, many ex-slaves or the descendants of slaves, practiced versions of the religion handed down to them by their ancestors. Umbanda's popularity has grown tremendously over the past century, attracting not only those who seek the assistance of spirits in solving problems in their lives, but those in pursuit of a path to a rich spiritual life and a fellowship of faith and service. Over the course of nearly a decade, Lindsay Hale spent countless hours attending rituals and festivals and interviewing participants of Umbanda, immersing himself in this fascinating religious world. In describing its many aspects and exploring its unique place within the lives of a wide variety of practitioners, Hale places Umbanda spiritual beliefs and practices within the broader context of Brazilian history and culture.

The Fixers

Local News Workers and the Underground Labor of International Reporting

By: Lindsay Palmer

News "fixers" are locally-based media employees who serve as translators, coordinators, and guides to foreign journalists in unfamiliar terrain. Operating in the shadows, fixers' contributions to journalism are largely hidden from us, yet they underpin the entire international news industry: almost every international news story we read today could not be produced without a fixer. Indeed, without fixers' on-the-ground skill and intimate knowledge of a territory, journalists would struggle to document stories unfolding in countries outside their own. Despite this, however, fixers remain one of the most under-protected and undervalued groups contributing to the production of news. Targeted by militant groups and governments, even by their neighbors, they must often engage in a precarious balancing act, bridging the divides between foreign journalists and the people who live and work in fixers' own communities. In this book, Lindsay Palmer reveals the lives and struggle of those performing some of the most important work in international news. Drawing on interviews with 75 fixers around the world, Palmer is the first researcher to illuminate fixers' own rich narratives, offering a glimpse of how difficult it is to play the role of cultural mediator, both in and out of conflict zones. A news fixers' is not simply administrative; rather, the fixer's engagement with the story is editorial and, more importantly, cultural. Each task that a fixer takes on is a creative effort at mediating between different lived experiences of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, politics, community, and nation. Ultimately, The Fixers offers a different picture of international reporting than most people are accustomed to seeing: one that is more collaborative, more contested, and more fluid in its understanding of "truth" in a global, cross-cultural context.

Someday, Somewhere

By: Lindsay Champion

Structured like a sonata, this heartbreaking debut novel hits all the right notes. Dominique is a high school junior from gritty Trenton, barely getting by. Ben is a musical prodigy from the Upper East Side, a rising star at a top conservatory. When Dom’s class is taken to hear a concert at Carnegie Hall, she spots Ben in the front row, playing violin like his life depends on it — and she is transfixed. Posing as an NYU student, Dom sneaks back to New York City to track him down. Soon, the two are desperately in love, each seeing something in the other to complete them. But Ben’s genius, which Dominique so admires, conceals his struggle with mental illness — and the challenges of her own life may make it impossible for her to save him from himself.

Contemporary Travel Writing of Latin America

Contemporary Travel Writing of Latin America

By: Claire Lindsay

This book takes a new approach to travel writing about Latin America by examining ‘domestic’ journey narratives that have been produced by travellers from the continent itself and largely in Spanish. Historically, travel writing about Latin America has been written primarily from the perspective of the foreign, often European, traveller. As such, and following the large influx of military, scientific, and leisure travellers in the region since its colonisation, much of this foreign travel writing has depicted the continent in predominantly exoticist and/or imperialist terms. Lindsay explores how Latin American travellers have conceived and constructed narratives about travel at home and considers how such texts (many of them available in English translation or with subtitles) function to counter or corroborate long-standing myths about the continent. Through a series of regionally- and thematically-oriented case studies that engage with key issues, themes and debates in both Latin American and travel studies, Lindsay provides the first sustained interdisciplinary study of contemporary domestic travel narratives about the region and will also comprise an important intervention into methodological debates about travel and travel writing.

Searching for the Jaguar

Searching for the Jaguar

By: Carlota Lindsay

Searching for the Jaguar. This romantic thriller is set against the background of the lush Amazonian jungle and the violent streets of a North American city. A young American couple seek adventure and fulfillment in Brazils exotic mixture of peoples and religions. The characters are protagonists in a mural of interrelated events that cross social, economic, and national boundaries. The reality within which the events occur overwhelms the individual characters and takes away their ability to comprehend their destinies. Five lives intertwine in a game of life and death: Hank, the idealist caught in a web of intrigue, power and cocaine trafficking; Deb, the dedicated nurse who discovers real love in a foreboding setting; Steve, the serious lawyer struggling with his emotional conflict between duty and passion; Darryl, the ex-con misfit prone to explode in a blasphemous rage of jealousy and resentment; Scott, the young invalid who suddenly comes of age when murder and violence shatters the security of his life. Each one of them, driven by inner passions, brings mystery and depth to a story that connects the reader to a world of rich lyrical and philosophical implications. The story-related by Scott-sets out to reconstruct the lives of the protagonists with whatever information he can collect from diaries, letters, interviews, personal observation, and even his own imagination. He senses only dimly the multiple forces at play which are presented with an underlying surrealistic humor that gives the narrative shape and depth. He fits together the many puzzling pieces-which he can neither explain nor justify-and in the process begins to set his own life in order. Like the phoenix that rises from its ashes, Scott transcends his suffering and creates a new dimension of living as he recreates the old. A surreal humor underlies this compelling story about love, transformation, death, and survival. Superbly crafted, lyrically written. LETTER TO THE READER OF SEARCHING FOR THE JAGUAR BY CARLOTA LINDSAY You may have noticed that part of my dedication is addressed to you, the reader, and to your imagination and sense of humor. This is because a novel is fiction and becomes real only through the active participation of your creative self. It is in this way that you are as much the author of Searching for the Jaguar as I am. This is where a novel differs from a movie. In the latter the viewer receives lots of information visually without much participatory effort. In the modern novel the reader has to reconstitute the whole from information about its parts. This activity is closer to the one we perform in real life in order to understand ourselves and what our true role is. I want to mention also that a novel takes place in a time and space that for a few hours becomes your own and where the characters reveal themselves and unveil their unique function in the dimension of the novel that you help create. How much you learn about them or understand them is up to you. What about the characters? They are not presented but rather present themselves by what they say, what they do, and how they regard, and are regarded by, each other; that is, they are discovered existentially. The reader learns about them gradually: much as it is in real life the original perception is constantly evolving. By observing the characters actions and hearing their words, the reader ends up with more insight into their situation than the characters themselves do. The characters are searching not only within the dimension of the novel but beyond it in the imagination of the reader. In a sense, they escape the novel and walk into the readers consciousness, where they help him probe his own self. They have already escaped into mine, where they are searching for a continuity I did not know was there. In that sense they are searching, like Pirandellos characters, for an author.

Double Dexter

Dexter Morgan (6)

By: Jeff Lindsay

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The Dexter series continues with a deadly duel with a copycat. • The Killer Character That Inspired the Hit Showtime Series Dexter Dexter is displeased. Like any self-respecting, totally decent, soundly homicidal guy, Dexter Morgan takes great pride in his work and is careful to remain anonymous. So he is, naturally, upset to discover that someone has identified him and—worst of all—is now turning his own methods against him. The situation soon becomes more complicated when a brutal cop-killer begins targeting Miami’s police detectives—leaving behind bodies that are battered beyond recognition—and stoking the department’s worst fears. As his colleagues grow more paranoid of the psychotic killer in their midst, Dexter’s position is increasingly perilous. He is running out of time to track down this copycat and deliver his usual special justice, before his dark hobby is revealed to the world.

Studies in Early Medieval Latin Glossaries

By: Wallace Martin Lindsay,Michael Lapidge

Glossaries are one of the most important sources for our knowledge of early medieval schools, for they provide an accurate records of what texts were studied and how they were understood. But they are also very difficult to access: countless glossaries lie unpublished in manuscript, the relations between them are unknown, and their origins are obscure. The most important contribution to solving these problems was made by Wallace Martin Lindsay (1858-1937), one of the greatest classical scholars ever produced in the British Isles, who in a pioneering series of articles identified the principal glossaries and clarified their relationships; he subsequently oversaw their publication in Glossaria Latina. So comprehensive was Lindsay's work that the subject virtually stood still for half a century; but recent advances in paleography and Insular Latin studies have drawn scholarly attention to glossaries once again. Any future work on glossaries must be based on Lindsay's pioneering articles; to facilitate such work, these articles have been provided with comprehensive indices of the Latin lemmata and sources of the glossaries, together with an account of recent work on medieval glossaries.
