Book Description
This is the autobiography of a working class boy in a cotton-spinning town in Lancashire who became a teacher, headmaster, schools inspector and university lecturer in England, and Australia. He also carried out commissions to enquire into teacher education and social studies curricula in England and New Zealand, and taught after retirement from Flinders University in South Australia for two years in the University of the South Pacific in Fiji. He was a guest lecturer in Canada, the United States and Poland. These are the externals of a career. Geoffrey tells a fascinating story of his childhood and school days. He became a Sunday School teacher and Baptist Lay Preacher in his teens, but at university in Bristol became a member of the Communist Party and was for several years a leading figure in communist teacher politics and in the Peace Movement. Subsequently he repudiated communism and Marxism and in Australia became a severe critic of most of the ideas, policies and practices he had advocated as a young man. This is a valuable social history and gives insights into the main ideological conflicts of the twentieth century. Since emigration to Australia in 1976 Geoffrey has had published twelve books and over a hundred articles. His academic qualifications include BA Hons and MEd from Bristol University, BSc (Soc) (Hons), Teachers Certificate and Academic Diploma of Education, and PhD from the University of Adelaide. . At 83 Geoffrey still engages between hospital bouts in Australian disputes in politics, history and education. The autobiography gains its name from his nickname at school of Geoff Party and because the Party for many years among the British Left meant the Communist Party.

The Charms
Author: Women of Grace Writers
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1973669390
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
One resource indicates that “allegory is a figure of speech in which abstract ideas and principles are described in terms of characters, figures, and events. The objective of its use is to teach some kind of a moral lesson.” Accordingly, the intent of this book is to explain the letters to the seven churches in the book of Revelation in fictional stories. Such stories are based on seven middle-aged women whose lives in current-century circumstances possibly parallel the good and poor choices made by those churches to which the letters are addressed. Their lives are closely followed and, at times, directed by the character Driscoll, who is a truly supernatural person of the angelic sort.

Neighbors and Other Stories
Author: Diane Oliver
Publisher: Grove Press
ISBN: 0802161324
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 149
Book Description
A bold and haunting debut story collection that follows various characters as they navigate the day-to-day perils of Jim Crow racism from Diane Oliver, a missing figure in the canon of twentieth-century African American literature, with an introduction by Tayari Jones A remarkable talent far ahead of her time, Diane Oliver died in 1966 at the age of 22, leaving behind these crisply told and often chilling tales that explore race and racism in 1950s and 60s America. In this first and only collection by a masterful storyteller finally taking her rightful place in the canon, Oliver’s insightful stories reverberate into the present day. There’s the nightmarish “The Closet on the Top Floor” in which Winifred, the first Black student at her newly integrated college, starts to physically disappear; “Mint Juleps not Served Here” where a couple living deep in a forest with their son go to bloody lengths to protect him; “Spiders Cry without Tears,” in which a couple, Meg and Walt, are confronted by prejudices and strains of interracial and extramarital love; and the high tension titular story that follows a nervous older sister the night before her little brother is set to desegregate his school. These are incisive and intimate portraits of African American families in everyday moments of anxiety and crisis that look at how they use agency to navigate their predicaments. As much a social and historical document as it is a taut, engrossing collection, Neighbors is an exceptional literary feat from a crucial once-lost figure of letters.
