Old Age and Urban Poverty in the Developing World - P. Lloyd Sherlock - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Many countries in the developing world are facing a rapid acceleration in population ageing. To date, this problem has generated little interest either from academics or policy-makers. Studies which focus exclusively on social security are of little relevance for the majority of elderly in these regions, for whom the possibilities of saving or making pension contributions are remote. This book takes a more comprehensive approach, combining analysis of social security issues in all developing countries with micro-level case studies of poor urban elderly survival strategies in Buenos Aires.

Irish Drama, Modernity and the Passion Play - Alexandra Poulain - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book discusses Irish Passion plays (plays that rewrite or parody the story of the Passion of Christ) in modern Irish drama from the Irish Literary Revival to the present day. It offers innovative readings of such canonical plays as J. M. Synge''s The Playboy of the Western World , W. B. Yeats''s Calvary , Brendan Behan''s The Hostage , Samuel Beckett''s Endgame , Brian Friel''s Faith Healer and Tom Murphy''s Bailegangaire , as well as of less well-known plays by Padraic Pearse, Lady Gregory, G. B. Shaw, Seán O''Casey, Denis Johnston, Samuel Beckett and David Lloyd. Challenging revisionist readings of the rhetoric of "blood sacrifice" and martyrdom in the Irish Republican tradition, it argues that the Passion play is a powerful political genre which centres on the staged death of the (usually male) protagonist, and makes visible the usually invisible violence perpetrated both by colonial power and by the postcolonial state in the name of modernity.
