The Star Factory
The Star Factory
£6.99
This is a shaggy-dog story delivered without once drawing breath: a risky, nerve-wracking, extraordinary performance. The Star Factory of the title was an abandoned mill, full of Piranesian galleries & rusting machinery, which haunted the author as a child; roads converge on Belfast to form a stellar patter, in an ironic benediction of the city`s sectarian divisions. But the Star Factory is also a place of the imagination, where history & decaying architecture are turned into stories. & this is a book about growing up in a city that is full of stories, weaving in & out of each other as Carson explores myriad cities of his native town, diving down ”the wormhole of memory” into parallel worlds where religion, politics, & the sad magic of the dying shipyards & linen factories take manifold forms. ...

The State In Myanmar
£19.99
” The State in Myanmar” is a totally revised & expanded & updated version of ” The State in Burma” (1987), with additional chapters covering the last twenty years of Myanmar`s political history. It attempts to explain the country`s current politics in the light of the historical evolution of state-society relations in Myanmar since the pre-colonial kings, through the colonial era to the current, & third, post-colonial regime in this strategically important & little studied South East Asian nation. The book explains the dramatic & unpredicted collapse of the previous socialist regime & the attempts by new & old political forces to wrest control of the state from a revitalised & increasingly confident military government. Myanmar`s state builders have applied varying ideas in their attempts to fashion a stable political order in an often fractious & far from unified nation & ” The State in Myanmar” places those experiences in comparative perspective. ...

The State of Africa
The State Of Africa
£10.99
Africa is forever on our TV screens, but the bad-news stories (famine, genocide, corruption) massively outweigh the good (South Africa). Ever since the process of de-colonialisation began in the mid-1950s, & arguably before, the continent has appeared to be stuck in a process of irreversible decline. Constant war, improper use of natural resources & misappropriation of revenues & aid monies contribute to an impression of a continent beyond hope. How did we get here? What, if anything, is to be done? Fully revised & updated & weaving together the key stories & characters of the last sixty years into a stunningly compelling & coherent narrative, Martin Meredith has produced the definitive history of how European ideas of how to organise 10, 000 different ethnic groups has led to what Tony Blair described as the `scar on the conscience of the world`. Authoritative, provocative & consistently fascinating, this is the updated edition of the seminal book on one of the most important issues facing the West today. ...
