An anonymous letter, seemingly from an old lady, arrives at a South London Police Station. It contains the confession to the murder of a vagrant, found dead at an underground train station.The story began some forty-five years earlier in 1966 London, a time of cultural and sexual liberation - for some. For two teenage sisters, Midge and Bridie Dolan, growing up in the Catholic community, the revolution couldn't be further than if it was happening on Mars. All the two Motown-mad girls want to do is go to the nightclub The Palais Royale, and if their wayward cousin Jimmy can escort them there and back, it looks like they'll get their wish.Unaware this particular Friday outing is going to irrevocably change their lives forever, the sisters have high hopes of what the night will bring - yet fate has other plans.A page-turning drama set in 1960's London, a time as harsh and uncompromising as it ever was for those trying to navigate the right path through tumultuous times.

Young Men and Domestic Abuse

By: David Gadd,Claire L. Fox,Mary-Louise Corr,Steph Alger,Ian Butler

Surveys reveal that domestic abuse is more commonplace among teenagers and young adults than older populations, yet surprisingly little is written about young men’s involvement in it. Reporting on a three-year study based in the UK, this book explores young men’s involvement in domestic abuse, whether as victims, perpetrators or witnesses to violent behaviors between adults. Original survey data, focus group material and in-depth biographical interviews are used to make the case for a more thoroughgoing engagement with the meanings young men come to attribute to violent behavior, include the tendency among many to configure violence within families as "fights" that call for acts of male heroism. The book also highlights the dearth of services interventions for young men prone to domestic abuse, and the challenges of developing responsive practice in this area. Each section of the book highlights further online resources that those looking to conduct research in this area or apply its insights in practice can draw upon.

African Print Cultures

Newspapers and Their Publics in the Twentieth Century

By: Derek Peterson,Steph Newell,Emma Hunter

The essays collected in African Print Cultures claim African newspapers as subjects of historical and literary study. Newspapers were not only vehicles for anticolonial nationalism. They were also incubators of literary experimentation and networks by which new solidarities came into being. By focusing on the creative work that African editors and contributors did, this volume brings an infrastructure of African public culture into view. The first of four thematic sections, “African Newspaper Networks,” considers the work that newspaper editors did to relate events within their locality to happenings in far-off places. This work of correlation and juxtaposition made it possible for distant people to see themselves as fellow travellers. “Experiments with Genre” explores how newspapers nurtured the development of new literary genres, such as poetry, realist fiction, photoplays, and travel writing in African languages and in English. “Newspapers and Their Publics” looks at the ways in which African newspapers fostered the creation of new kinds of communities and served as networks for public interaction, political and otherwise. The final section, “Afterlives, ” is about the longue durée of history that newspapers helped to structure, and how, throughout the twentieth century, print allowed contributors to view their writing as material meant for posterity.
