Headlines of Nation, Subtexts of Class
Author: Don KalbPublisher: Berghahn Books
ISBN: 0857452045
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
Since 1989 neo-nationalism has grown as a volatile political force in almost all European societies in tandem with the formation of a neoliberal European Union and wider capitalist globalizations. Focusing on working classes situated in long-run localized processes of social change, including processes of dispossession and disenfranchisement, this volume investigates how the experiences, histories, and relationships of social class are a necessary ingredient for explaining the re-emergence and dynamics of populist nationalism in both Eastern and Western Europe. Featuring in-depth urban and regional case studies from Romania, Hungary, Serbia, Italy and Scotland this volume reclaims class for anthropological research and lays out a new interdisciplinary agenda for studying identity politics in the intensifying neoliberal conjuncture.
Behind the News
Author: Sarat Chandran NairPublisher: Notion Press
ISBN: 1948147696
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
Overweight, though, in showcasing topical economic issues that excite reader interest in general, Behind the News, On a Journalist’s Radar, spreads out a rich and varied fare the sum and substance of which can’t be defined by a single theme or title. Tersely presented is a pack of incisive reviews of headline-making stuff that come to surface often sparking lively debates right across the spectrum. Behind the News is all the more conspicuous for its venturesome and, indeed, the first ever, attempt to project a personality, magisterial enough to be equated with the tumultuous millennium that has just gone by. Elsewhere, the author picks up signals from the omissions and commissions of a host of law-makers, central bankers and the media to boot. Heroes and hero-worship are alien to the ethos of the financial world but Behind the News spots one in the thick of the 1997 currency crisis. For relief and spicing, fugitive pieces from personal life, career rounds and fictional sources too are keyed in. As for the Indian economy, the book’s main focus, the author pithily notes it had never gained momentum at any point in history, and is unlikely to, given its empire-like structure and organisation. Also due from the author: All in the Shadow of Marx.
Finding Zsa Zsa
Author: Sam StaggsPublisher: Kensington Books
ISBN: 1496719611
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
For decades, the Gabor dynasty was the epitome of glamour and fairy tale success. But as biographer, film historian, and Gabor family friend Sam Staggs reveals, behind the headlines is a true story more dramatic, fabulous, and surprising than their self-styled legend would have you believe . . . In 1945, after barely escaping Hitler’s invasion of Hungary followed by “liberation” of the country by the Red Army, three members of the Gabor family—Jolie, her ex-husband Vilmos, and their daughter Magda—arrived in New York City. In Hollywood, their other daughters, Zsa Zsa and Eva, had worked feverishly throughout the war years to secure their rescue from the Nazis’ plan to exterminate the Jews. Stepping off the boat, Jolie, the iron-willed matriarch, already had a golden future mapped out for her sharp-witted, cosmopolitan beauties. Over the next six decades, with twenty-three husbands between them (suave All About Eve star George Sanders would wed both Zsa Zsa and Magda), scores of lovers, and roller-coaster rides in film, television, theater, and business, the elegant yet gloriously bawdy, addictively watchable Gabors carved a niche in the entertainment industry that made them world-famous pop-culture icons. But beneath the artifice of Dior and diamonds was another side to the story they never revealed: the whole truth. This first verifiable history of the Gabors casts a startling new light on these extraordinary women. Finding Zsa Zsa reveals the tumultuous and often unforgiven battles between mother and daughter, sister and sister, wife and husband; Eva’s “bearded” romance with Merv Griffin that allowed them both to seek same-sex lovers; Zsa Zsa's involuntary confinement in a mental hospital; her life-long struggle with bipolar disorder; and her last—unconsummated—marriage to the manipulating faux prince Frederic von Anhalt. Here too is the untold story of Zsa Zsa’s daughter, Francesca Hilton, a gifted photographer who eschewed the Gabor lifestyle and paid a sad price for her independence. The story of family patriarch Vilmos Gabor, who returned to Hungary only to be trapped behind the Iron Curtain, reads like a Cold War spy thriller. Culled from new interviews with family, colleagues, and confidantes, and the unpublished memoirs of the author's friend Francesca Hilton, Finding Zsa Zsa finally introduces fans to the Gabor family they never knew, including many never-before-seen photos. It’s a riveting, outrageously funny, bittersweet, and affectionately honest read of four women who were vulnerable, tough, charitable, endlessly fascinating, and always glamorous to a fault.

Pages : 187
Book Description
In the 1950s around 1,000 North Korean orphans and students were studying in Hungary. The purpose of this book is to describe, contextualise and explain the North Korean students' role in the Hungarian revolution and anti Soviet freedom fight in 1956. Following the collapse of Central and East European communism in 1989, one of the many notable stories emerging about the events and background to the 1956 uprising was that many former Hungarian freedom fighters pointedly noted the help they had received from North Korean students.
