De boekeditie van de Canon samenlevingsopbouw is eind november 2021 verschenen. Het is een kleurrijk, zeer informatief en rijk geïllustreerd boekwerk, van precies 100 pagina’s geworden. Uniek omdat de geschiedenis van de samenlevingsopbouw en het opbouwwerk in Nederland niet eerder zo inzichtelijk bijeen is gebracht.De boekeditie beoogt historische diepgang te geven aan de oplevende belangstelling voor burgerparticipatie, community organization en opbouwwerk. Na decennia van individualisering, consumentisme en neoliberalisme groeit de behoefte aan collectiviteit en gemeenschapsvorming, en lijkt samenlevingsopbouw dus binnen het sociaal domein aan een tweede jeugd te beginnen.Maar hoe zag die eerste jeugd er eigenlijk uit? Wanneer is die begonnen en wanneer is deze opgehouden? Deze Canon samenlevingsopbouw verhaalt in honderd rijk geïllustreerde pagina’s over het begin in Drenthe, de aspiraties van topambtenaar Gradus Hendriks, de hectiek van de stadsvernieuwing en over nog veel meer. Bij elkaar een zeer bijzondere geschiedenis, rijk gekleurd door de tijdgeest. Een must read voor alle sociale professionals, beleidsmakers en bestuurders die de toekomst met nieuw elan tegemoet willen treden en lessen willen trekken uit het verleden.

"Along with providing an encyclopedic examination of early nineteenth-century performances, dramaturgy, and theatrical techniques and apparatuses, Time in Romantic Theatre recovers and celebrates forgotten dramatists, plays, and dramatic subgenres. Future scholarship will benefit from and build on Frederick Burwick's insights and discoveries." William D. Brewer, Professor of English, Appalachian State University "Time in Romantic Theatre adds significantly to our knowledge about nineteenth-century theatre and performance. It reveals how Romantic drama represents time in creative ways by using flashbacks and flashforwards, compression and extension, memory and anticipation, and alternative temporalities. Enjoyable as well as instructive to read, this book is full of fascinating insights into the interactions of playwrights, actors, managers, set designers, reviewers, and audiences in the world of Romantic theatre. There is no one better qualified than Frederick Burwick to bring this world to life for modern readers." Angela Esterhammer, Professor of English, University of Toronto The shift in temporal modalities of Romantic Theatre was the consequence of internal as well as external developments: internally, the playwright was liberated from the old imperative of "Unity of Time" and the expectation that the events of the play must not exceed the hours of a single day; externally, the new social and cultural conformance to the time-keeping schedules of labour and business that had become more urgent with the industrial revolution. In reviewing the theatre of the Romantic era, this monograph draws attention to the ways in which theatre reflected the pervasive impact of increased temporal urgency in social and cultural behaviour. The contribution this book makes to the study of drama in the early nineteenth century is a renewed emphasis on time as a prominent element in Romantic dramaturgy, and a reappraisal of the extensive experimentation on how time functioned. Frederick Burwick, Emeritus Professor at UCLA, is author and editor of thirty-four books and one hundred sixty-five articles. He has worked extensively on Romantic drama and Anglo-German literary relations. He is the general editor of the three-volume Encyclopedia of Romantic Literature (2012) and editor of The Oxford Handbook of Samuel Taylor Coleridge (2009). Recent monographs include A History of Romantic Literature (2019), British Drama of the Industrial Revolution (2015) and Playing to the Crowd, London Popular Theatre, 1780-1830 (2011).

By examining the contrast between Bolshevik propaganda claims and social reality, Brovkin explains how Communist representations were variously received and resisted by workers, peasants, students, women, teachers and party officials. He presents a picture of cultural diversity and rejection of Communist constraints through many means including unauthorized protest, religion, jazz music and poetry. Brovkin argues that these trends endangered the Communist Party's monopoly on political power and argues that the Stalinist revolution can be seen as a preemptive strike against this independent and

Unions, Strikes, Shaw: 'The Capitalism of the Proletariat' is the first book to treat Bernard Shaw-socialist, dramatist, public speaker and union member-in relation to unions and strikes. For over half a century he urged workers to join unions, which he called, paradoxically, "the Capitalism of the Proletariat," because as capitalists try to get as much labor as possible from workers while paying them as little as possible, unions try to gain as high wages as possible from employers while working as little as possible. He opposed general strikes as destined to fail, since owners can hold out longer than workers, whose unions have less money to support them during strikes. This book offers background on major strikes in and before Shaw's time -including the Colorado Coalfield War and the Dublin Lockout, both in 1913-before analyzing the causes, day-by-day events and consequences of Britain's 1926 General Strike. It begins and ends with examinations of their and Shaw's relevance to actions on unions and strikes in our own time. Bernard F. Dukore is University Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Theatre Arts and Humanities, Virginia Tech, USA. His books on theatre and film include Bernard Shaw and the Censors: Fights and Failures, Stage and Screen (2020) and Crimes and Punishments and Bernard Shaw (2017). "An excellent book to put on the Bernard Shaw shelf that will serve a wider audience as well. Bernard F. Dukore's study is enlightening as it engages with recent scholarship to support questioning and provide answers that are fuller and better developed in specific contexts. It is well written and is high on my list of the most convincingly developed studies in this field. It fills an empty space in Shaw scholarship, and there's no need for, or likelihood that, another book would try to contest it." - Richard F. Dietrich, Professor Emeritus, University of South Florida, USA "Unions, Strikes, Shaw surveys general strikes, including the 1913 Dublin Lockout and 1926 British General Strike, and nationalization in Major Barbara and On the Rocks. Using Bernard Shaw's writings and speeches, and the words and actions of union organizers and members, government officials, and the public, this lively account illustrates how "unions, strikes and efforts by those in power to break them are as much a part of our lives as they were of Shaw's." Bernard F. Dukore has written extensively and perceptively on Shaw as social reformer, exploring crimes and punishments, censorship, and race. This thoroughly researched monograph is another valuable perspective on Shaw." - - Michel Pharand, retired, freelance copyeditor and former general editor of SHAW: The Journal of Bernard Shaw Studies "In Unions, Strikes, Shaw, Bernard F. Dukore uses vivid examples of workers struggling to exert collective power during the first "Gilded Age" to demand the reader to consider quintessentially Shavian questions that remain startlingly relevant: What is the relationship between human labor and the economic and moral organization of society? Are unions a function of capitalism, or a mechanism for radical change? Under what conditions can collective worker power overcome the entrenched power of capital? Dukore's discussion of Shaw's interest in Marxism and Fabianism, as well as his insightful examination of the debate over these questions in Shaw's speeches, treatises, and plays - especially Major Barbara and On the Rocks -illuminate Shaw's thinking and invite us to sharpen our own." - Pam Egan, Director, Labor Management Partnerships Program, UC Berkeley Labor Center, USA .
