Across the West, racial injustice has become a matter of urgency. Terms like 'critical race theory' and 'intersectionality' are everywhere and, in the rush to get it right, Britain has followed the lead of the world's dominant political power: America. But what if we've been looking in the wrong place? In This is Not America, Tomiwa Owolade argues that too much of the debate around racism in Britain is viewed through the prism of American ideas that don't reflect the history, challenges and achievements of black communities at home. Humane, empirical and passionate, this book promises to start a new conversation around race and, vitally, shed light on black British life today.
"This textbook provides an expert overview of the challenge of arts and cultural leadership in the contemporary world. Grounded in theories of sustainability and with a renewed global focus for this second edition, the author's insights from contemporary arts organizations facilitate meaningful student comprehension. Drawing on the work of practitioners and theorists in the fields of philosophy, biology, and ecology as well as the arts, Foster proposes a rethinking of organizational design, strategy and structure that is based on ecological concepts and the creative process that is intrinsic to the arts rather than the conventional business model that currently prevails, particularly in western arts and culture organizations. He contests conventional thinking about arts administration and management and urges arts leaders to foreground innovation as they reimagine their organizations for a world unlike any other. New sections include an enhanced theoretical discussion as well as new material on business models, strategy, and organizational design and practice. Applicable to any arts organization, the entrepreneurial focus is especially relevant in the aftermath of the global pandemic, the ongoing climate crisis, and the quest for democracy and social justice. This updated edition will be a valuable resource both for present-day arts and cultural leaders who are working to adapt to the current environment as well as students and future leaders who aspire to make change in the world through arts and cultural leadership"--
Die vielbeschworene Zwischenkriegszeit nach dem Ersten und vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg war auch für die deutsch-türkischen Beziehungen eine Phase des Dazwischen: Sie reichte von der Gründung nationalstaatlicher Republiken in Deutschland und der Türkei samt ihren umfassenden gesellschaftlichen und politischen Veränderungen bis in die Jahre des NSRegimes und der Regierung Atatürks. Vor diesem Hintergrund untersucht die vorliegende Studie das in deutschen Schulbüchern für die Fächer Geschichte und Erdkunde vermittelte und als tradierungswürdig erachtete Wissen über die Türkei. Dabei wird deutlich, wie sehr Schulbuchwissen an der Reproduktion überkommener Stereotype teilhatte, aber auch an der Erzählung, die von der "langen Vergangenheit" der "Bindung zwischen unseren beiden Völkern" (Theodor Heuss) handelt
