Book excerpt: OF GREAT IMPORTANCE is Nachoem Wijnberg's 16th volume of poetry. One of the most prominent living Dutch writers, Wijnberg's poetry is known for its deceptively plain language and his poems, according to the poet himself, can be read well by anyone who can read a newspaper. The poems in OF GREAT IMPORTANCE engage with statecraft, economics, and world history, lyricizing taxes and debts, stocks and flows, citizenship and labor contracts, notaries and accountants, factories and strikes, freedoms and fundamental rights, banks and railroads, property rights and codes of honor, sieges and treaties, gods and generals, how to make money and how to win elections, when to declare war and when to found a new state. Wijnberg's engagement with these and other related topics is based on his belief that economics, politics, and history - and all of the tangled relations therein, no matter how asymmetrical - concern how people live together, and his poetry is a creative form of historiography that attends to tracing the theater of an affective commonwealth, in which he builds upon the best work of those thinkers and poets who came before - including Karl Marx, John Maynard Keynes, Heinrich Heine, Czeslaw Milosz, and especially C.P. Cavafy. Ultimately, Wijnberg understands that "Something important that changes the world only happens if there is a lever with a fulcrum you cannot know enough about," and yet his poetry gorgeously illuminates this fulcrum. VAN GROOT BELANG, a substantial part of which has been translated in OF GREAT IMPORTANCE, was shortlisted for the Dutch VSB Poetry Prize. According to the jury report, the book "constitutes the pinnacle of [Wijnberg's] individualistic oeuvre to date, [and] is a painfully consistent and uncomfortably accurate analysis of power, economic and social structures, and mechanisms that are at the root of the corrupted world in which we wake up each morning. In a highly individual poetic jargon, so bright that it causes a daze, he demonstrates the logic of the illogical and pares the illogical away from the logical." For his entire body of work, Wijnberg has also received the most prestigious Dutch literary award, the P.C. Hooftprijs, in 2018.

Download or read book Problem of Great Importance written by Karl Ittmann and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2013-09-29 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the significant role population science played in British colonial policy in the twentieth century as the imperial state attempted to control colonial populations using new agricultural and public health policies, private family planning initiatives, and by imposing limits over migration and settlement. A Problem of Great Importance traces British imperial efforts to engage metropolitan activists who could improve its knowledge of colonial demography and design programs to influence colonial population trends. While imperial population control failed to achieve its goals, British institutions and experts would be central to the development of postcolonial population programs. Researchers, scholars, and historians of British history will gain greater perspective into the effects of demography on imperial governance and colonial and postcolonial British views of their place in the world.
