Will Hay - Graham Rinaldi - Bog - Tomahawk Press - Plusbog.dk

Will Hay - Graham Rinaldi - Bog - Tomahawk Press - Plusbog.dk

Every British comic actor that followed Will Hay owes Hay a debt of gratitude -- for it was Hay who defined the modern essence of British comedy. Working closely with Hay''s family, Graham Rinaldi''s definitive tribute to the respected comic actor, takes a close look into Hay''s on-screen and off-screen personae. Drawing upon Hay''s own writings -- newspaper articles, notes from his astronomy observations and pilot''s logbooks and extracts from his unfinished and previously unpublished autobiography "I Enjoyed Every Minute" -- the book gives a unique insight into Hay''s childhood, his continuous thirst for knowledge and his passion for aviation, astronomy and comedy. The book is illustrated throughout with previously unpublished photographs from Hay''s family albums including a rare photograph of Hay with Amy Johnson, plus memorabilia from his performing career. Extensive research into Hay''s stage work includes extracts from his original Fourth Form at St Michael''s sketches, The Will Hay Radio Programme and, for the first time, from all of his revue and variety shows including Nosey Knows and Moonstruck for Fred Karno. Each of Hay''s 18 films is examined, with insightful information regarding their production, written extracts from deleted scenes (including for the first time in their entirety the missing sequences from Ask a Policeman,) previously unpublished stills and interviews with those who worked with him from Val Guest, Leslie Gilliat and Roy Ward Baker to Dame Thora Hird, Barry Morse and Googie Withers. Did you know that in addition to creating the mould for British comedy, that Hay was an accomplished astronomer, linguist and pilot? No? Then you must read this book about one of British film''s most fascinating characters!

As she reflects on her scattered family and the loss of her favourite granddaughter, Heli, exiled to the Netherlands for an affair with her white teacher, Bee grapples with one question: What truly binds a family? Off-White offers a moving exploration of Bee''s legacy amid themes of male violence, colonialism, and the dismantling of racial identity, marking the return of a celebrated Surinamese author after two decades.

Off-White - Rachel Shabi - Bog - Oneworld Publications - Plusbog.dk

Why can''t we talk about antisemitism? ''I cannot wait for Off-White to be read, debated and put into practice.'' Naomi Klein, author of Doppelganger As claims of antisemitism continue to distort our politics at home and abroad, it has become almost impossible to talk about constructively, even in private. Instead, we find ourselves in a storm of misinformation, political mudslinging and bad-faith accusations. There is, however, a way to deliberate more honestly. Looking beyond our polarising headlines and interrogating the reasons racism takes hold, Off-White offers urgent analysis of one of the most divisive issues of our time. Taking in the contingency of whiteness, Judeo-Christian mythmaking, pro-Israel antisemitism, and the Palestinian struggle against colonialism, Rachel Shabi lights a hopeful way forward. *** ''Timely and valuable... [Shabi''s] key message is a vital one – that the fight against antisemitism is an essential part of the fight against all injustice and dehumanisation.'' Observer , Book of the Week ''A masterpiece defined by moral clarity, humanity and insight.'' Owen Jones ''An invaluable guide for anyone who seeks to understand issues over which we stumble far too often.'' George Monbiot ''With a generous spirit and a humane compass, Rachel Shabi guides us through a minefield.'' Gary Younge
