Beschreibung

James Maley, George Watters, Donald Renton and Archibald Williams were members of Machine Gun Company No. 2 of the XV International Brigade. This is the first book to focus on a small group of men from different starting-points, ended up in the same battleground at Jarama, and then in the same prisons after capture by Franco's forces.
Their remarkable story is told both in their own words and in the recollections of their sons and daughters, through a prison notebook, newspaper reports, stills cut from newsreels, interviews, anecdotes and memories, with a foreword by Daniel Gray.
Our Fathers Fought Franco is a collective biography that promises to add significantly to the understanding of the motives of those who 'went because their open eyes could see no other way'.
Verfügbar seit: 30.01.2023.
Drucklänge: 200 Seiten.

    I'm a teenager and I call my shrink

    “It's better to talk to you than to my parents; I wouldn't want to hurt their feelings. “Anguish, when it takes hold of me, is a terrible abyss! “I don't know who I am anymore. It's like voices are talking to me, it's weird; I'm scared” ... Today, teenagers dare to consult on their own. We welcome the end of the taboo, and the fact that it's easier to talk, but beware of the dizzying distress that can be caused, because it only takes a little for a teenager's life to turn upside down. The precipitous and uncertain evolution of society, of the family, of the relationship to work and to culture, upsets the reference points of the teenager and his parents. Adolescence is therefore a crucial time for talking: it's the time to make it a priority. Thierry Delcourt guides us and suggests concrete situations to help parents and teenagers find their way towards greater well-being and dialogue. Let's not forget that the teenage period is rich in creative potential, which needs to be revealed. The book is aimed at teens and parents alike. It can even be read together, as a way of talking and hearing each other differently.

    Life as a Silent Gen - Stories...

    The Silent Generation, born between the mid-1920s and the early 1940s, is often characterized by its quiet strength and resilience. Unlike the more outspoken Baby Boomers or the politically vocal Millennials, members of this generation are sometimes referred to as the “silent” because they were raised in an era where conformity and restraint were the societal norms. Their lives unfolded during some of the most transformative and tumultuous events of the 20th century, including the Great Depression, World War II, and the early stages of the Cold War. 
    Growing up in the midst of economic hardship, many from the Silent Generation experienced a world of scarcity, hard work, and sacrifice. The Great Depression shaped their values, instilling a sense of frugality, a strong work ethic, and an appreciation for the basics of life. These formative experiences molded a generation that was deeply loyal, resourceful, and able to persevere through difficult circumstances. As children, they witnessed the turmoil of the 1930s, and as young adults, they were called upon to contribute to the war effort during World War II. 
    Yet, despite the challenges they faced, the Silent Generation was also a time of growth and progress. It was a generation that saw the advent of many technological and social changes, although their response to these innovations was often more cautious compared to younger generations. They witnessed the rise of television, the automobile culture, and, later, the early days of the space race and computing. Their era was also one of profound social change, as the civil rights movement and the women’s liberation movement began to take root, though many from the Silent Generation remained resistant to these shifts.

    The story of Aboriginal resilience in Australian history is one of survival, adaptation, and unyielding strength in the face of immense challenges. For tens of thousands of years, Aboriginal peoples thrived across the diverse landscapes of the continent, developing complex societies deeply connected to the land. However, with the arrival of European settlers, they faced an unprecedented upheaval that threatened not only their way of life but also their very existence. Despite this, Aboriginal communities endured, finding ways to resist, adapt, and preserve their cultural heritage against overwhelming odds. 
    Colonization brought profound disruptions to Aboriginal societies. Traditional lands were seized, sacred sites were desecrated, and entire communities were forcibly removed from their ancestral homes. The introduction of foreign diseases, combined with violence and systematic dispossession, led to devastating population losses. European settlers viewed the land as something to be owned and exploited, disregarding the deep spiritual and cultural relationship that Aboriginal people had maintained with it for millennia. The introduction of colonial laws and policies further marginalized Aboriginal peoples, stripping them of autonomy and attempting to erase their identities through forced assimilation. 
    Yet, even in the darkest periods of history, Aboriginal resilience remained steadfast. Many Aboriginal nations engaged in active resistance, fighting to defend their land and people. Leaders emerged to challenge European incursions, using knowledge of the terrain to their advantage in conflicts now known as the Frontier Wars. Others found ways to survive within the new colonial framework, forming alliances, working within the pastoral industry, or preserving their culture in secret despite government suppression.
