Book You May Never See Us Again

Download or read book You May Never See Us Again written by Jane Martinson and published by Random House. This book was released on 2023-10-19 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Part Ozymandias, part Succession' - Financial Times 'A tour de force' - Guardian A Financial Times Book of the Year 2023 The inside story of the rise and fall of the Barclay brothers, secretive business titans and one-time owners of the Ritz and the Daily Telegraph Born poor, the Barclay brothers were enigmatic twins who built one of the biggest fortunes in Britain together from scratch and spent six decades at the epicentre of business, media and politics. Their empire, said to be worth £7bn at its height, included Littlewoods, the Ritz Hotel, the Daily Telegraph and the channel island of Brecqhou. They were major advocates for Brexit and well-connected with influential politicians including Margaret Thatcher, Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage. And yet despite their fortune and influence, their fiercely guarded desire for privacy has meant that their story has remained largely unknown - until a very public family dispute pitched Barclay against Barclay in the High Court. In You May Never See Us Again, journalist Jane Martinson unravels the fascinating story of these once inseparable billionaire brothers. Through their lives she offers compelling insights into post-war Britain, from the conditions that enabled their way of doing business to thrive, through to the tightly enmeshed webs of influence between capitalism, politics and the media that shape Britain today.

Book Repatriation and Reintegration

Download or read book Repatriation and Reintegration written by Beatriz Manz and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was sponsored by the Hemispheric Migration Project of the Center for Immigration Policy and Refugee Assistance of Georgetown University. It analyses the prospects for repatriation under the two-year civilian rule of President Vinicio Cerezo for the Guatemalan refugees who entered Mexico between 1981 and 1983. The prospects for repatriation are explored from two related perspectives. First, the broad political, social, and economic conditions in Guatemala are examined, focusing on human rights, the land situation, and the role of the military and the church perspective. The author emphasizes that if civil rights cannot be guaranteed, then repatriation places the refugees in potential danger. Second, the adequacy of repatriation plans and the experiences of those who have sought to return are examined. At the local level, attention is given to whether human rights can be guaranteed, whether refugees will have access to their lands and means of livelihood, and whether the civilian government has prospects for meaningful control over the military to guarantee the refugees' political rights. This repatriation experience is brought out in four communities in different areas, three of which are new settlements. Specific and general problems of repatriation are included in the conlusion.

Book Governing Codes

Download or read book Governing Codes written by Karrin Vasby Anderson and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2005 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Familiar narratives and simplistic stereotypes frame the representation of women in U.S. politics. Pervasive containment rhetorics, such as the distinction between women as mothers and caregivers and men as rational thinkers, create unique hurdles for any woman seeking public office. While these 'governing codes' generally act to constrain female political power, they can also be harnessed as a resource depending on the particular circumstances (e.g., party affiliation, geographic location and personal style). One of these governing codes, the metaphor, is an especially powerful tool in politics today, particularly for women. By examining the political careers of four of the most prominent and influential women in contemporary U.S. politics_Democrats Ann Richards and Hillary Rodham Clinton and Republicans Christine Todd Whitman and Elizabeth Dole_Karrin Vasby Anderson and Kristina Horn Sheeler illustrate how metaphors in public discourse may be both familiar narratives to embrace and boundaries to overturn.
