Taylor & Francis Diversity
Book SynopsisDiversity: A Key Idea for Business and Society introduces an idea that proliferates business and society, having been incorporated into mainstream theory and practice. Beyond this multidisciplinary setting, how diversity is defined, framed, managed and regulated is also exposed to considerable social, economic, political and ideological interpretation and manipulation. This volume explores definitions of diversity, its various manifestations and interdisciplinary influences that shape how diversity is researched. The text turns to workforce diversity as a particular case of diversity and explores antecedents, correlates and consequences of workforce diversity. The author considers power, inequality and intersectionality to illuminate the subject from the key manifestations, including class, gender, ethnicity, sexuality and disability. With insights from an array of fields from economics, through management to biology, the author also highlights the various cases againsTable of ContentsTable of ContentsDiversity * Forewords *Foreword by Professor Trish Greenhalgh *Foreword by Professor Kurt April *Preface *Acknowledgements *Dedication *Introduction *Chapter 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Dark Theatre
Book SynopsisThe Dark Theatre is an indispensable text for activist communities wondering what theatre might have to do with their futures, students and scholars across Theatre and Performance Studies, Urban Studies, Cultural Studies, Political Economy and Social Ecology.The Dark Theatre returns to the bankrupted warehouse in Hope (Sufferance) Wharf in London's Docklands where Alan Read worked through the 1980s to identify a four-decade interregnum of cultural cruelty' wreaked by financialisation, austerity and communicative capitalism. Between the OPEC Oil Embargo and the first screening of The Family in 1974, to the United Nations report on UK poverty and the fire at Grenfell Tower in 2017, this volume becomes a book about loss.In the harsh light of such loss is there an alternative to the market that profits from peddling well-being' and pushes prescriptions for self-help', any role for the arts that is not an apologia for injustice?

Taylor & Francis Ltd Skateboarding and Femininity Gender Spacemaking
Book SynopsisSkateboarding and Femininity explores and highlights the value of femininity both within skateboarding and wider culture. This book examines skateboarding's relationship to gender politics through a consideration of the personal politics connected to individual skateboarders, the social-spatial arenas in which skateboarding takes place, and by understanding the performance of tricks and symbolic movements as part of gender-based power dynamics. Dani Abulhawa anaylses the discursive frameworks connected to skateboarding philanthropic projects and how these operate through gendered tropes. Through the author's work with skateboarding charity SkatePal, this book offers an alternative way of recognising the value of skateboarding philanthropy projects, proposing a move toward a more open and explorative somatic practice perspective.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Getting connected to who you are1. Girls and Women Holding and Creating Space in Skateboarding2. Skateboarding and Feminism3. Skateboarding physical culture4. ‘Skateboard Philanthropy’: A somatic practice perspectiveConclusion: Skateboarding’s participation in the world beyond itself

Taylor & Francis Cartooning China
This book explores the series of cartoons of China and the Chinese that were published in the popular British satirical magazine Punch over a sixty-year period from 1841 to 1901. Filled with political metaphors and racial stereotypes, these illustrations served as a powerful tool in both reflecting and shaping notions and attitudes towards China at a tumultuous time in Sino-British history. A close reading of both the visual and textual satires in Punch reveals how a section of British society visualised and negotiated with China as well as Britainâs position in the global community. By contextualising Punchâs cartoons within the broader frameworks of British socio-cultural and political discourse, the author engages in a critical enquiry of popular culture and its engagements with race, geopolitical propaganda, and public consciousness.With a wide array of illustrations, this book in the Global Perspectives in Comics Studies series will be an impo
