Policing Port Security and Crime Control An Ethnography of the Port Securityscape

Policing Port Security and Crime Control An Ethnography of the Port Securityscape

Ports are the vital hubs of the maritime transport industry and crucial to the flow of global trade. The protection of this global supply chain from crime and terrorism is a fundamental objective of port security and is a landscape beset by new challenges and changes post 9/11. Building on multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork in two major European ports Yarin Eski discusses how operational policing and security realities and identities are established and examines how industrial commercialization has aggravated security issues. Policing Port Security and Crime Control offers a compelling empirically balanced account of the attitudes and practices of port police officers and security officers exploring the everyday realities and ambitions of these street-level professionals as they seek to (re)establish a meaningful occupational identity. In doing so this book presents a criminological understanding of the way that security questions and procedures are integrated into the daily lives of those that protect the industrial port sites where they themselves must interrupt the global supply chain in order to defend it. Exploring topics such as port security management multi-agency policing port theft drug trafficking human smuggling and terrorism this book offers a major contribution to the growing literature on transnational crime and security and is one of the first to offer an ethnographic approach to port security. This book is interdisciplinary and will appeal to criminologists sociologists ethnographers and those engaged with policing and security studies as well as professionals in the field of multi-agency policing border control security and governance of the port and wider maritime industry. | Policing Port Security and Crime Control An Ethnography of the Port Securityscape

Port Sudan The Evolution Of A Colonial City

Port Sudan The Evolution Of A Colonial City

In 1904 only the unimposing tomb of a local holy man occupied the site chosen by British officials for the construction of a modern seaport to facilitate the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan's expanded commerce. Built where no urban center had previously existed Port Sudan was the quintessential colonial city created and designed by Europeans who organized its municipal services and devised the regulations for its day-to-day management. The advantages of a created city were clear: The colonial government did not need to accommodate an indigenous urban population with its own existing social structures institutions and cultural values. This study examines the efforts of Port Sudan's builders and early administrators to tailor the urban environment to their own notions of the ideal colonial city–how it should look how it should function and how its human components should interact. It then focuses on the inter-war period describing how the rapid growth of Port Sudan and its harbor posed insurmountable challenges to the maintenance of this ideal. Although the Sudanese population within the city steadily increased their exclusion from any meaningful participation in municipal affairs during these troubled years left them physically and psychologically isolated. The situation began to change after World War II but as the study reveals conditions in the post-war era only compounded long-standing political economic and social problems in Port Sudan ensuring that the city the Sudanese inherited in 1956 still bore the marks of its colonial origins. | Port Sudan The Evolution Of A Colonial City

Banking in China (1890s–1940s) Business in the French Concessions

Banking in China (1890s–1940s) Business in the French Concessions

From the 1890s to the 1940s French State and entrepreneurial companies were enticed to promote French interests beyond mere colonial targets for the sake of economic patriotism. Chinese concessions not including Hong Kong were thus inserted into geo-economic moves and French stakeholders asserted their philosophy of competition and displayed their means of influence and investment. In this book the author assesses the challenges which confronted French actors in the face of powerful British imperial action overseas all the more so because German Belgian Japanese and then also North-American competitors joined the fray. The book targets three concessions: Canton/Guangzhou Tientsin/Tianjin and Hankeou/Wuhan because of their significance in the emergence of a modern economy in the country. The three main sections of the book explore the position of French stakeholders mainly businessmen merchant houses bankers and a few industrialists in these three port-cities and China overall. The chapters gauge their capital of influence and networking commercial tools and banking skills in the face of competition the hardships of crossing the changes in economic productive systems or clusters in the various port-cities and their areas rich with commercial offshoots. Also several chapters underscore the uncertainties caused by geopolitical and military events in China. For each of the three concessions commercial and banking systems assessments of the successes and limits of the French bankers and merchants are investigated with the aim of evaluating the reality of French entrepreneurialism and power in the regions prospected by the offshoots of French capitalism. The book will be an invaluable resource for academics interested in the history of banking and finance business entrepreneurship colonialism and economic patriotism in Chinese history in geo-economics and in connected history. | Banking in China (1890s–1940s) Business in the French Concessions

Errol John's Moon on a Rainbow Shawl

Errol John's Moon on a Rainbow Shawl

Errol John wrote Moon on a Rainbow Shawl (1958) after becoming disillusioned about the lack of good roles for black actors on the British theatre scene. While this situation has only slightly improved since his response has become the most revived black play in Britain from its original production at the Royal Court in 1958 to the National Theatre in 2012. It depicts the lives of a black community living in poverty in a shared tenement yard in Port of Spain Trinidad in the mid-1940s showing how each of the characters carries dreams of escaping to create better lives for themselves and their families. Lynette Goddard focuses on how the play articulates the narratives of migration that prompted many Caribbean people to uproot from their homes on the islands and move to the England in the post-war era. For some of them these dreams of a new life became a reality but they were experienced differently across genders and generations. | Errol John's Moon on a Rainbow Shawl

Who Killed Panayot? Reforming Ottoman Legal Culture in the 19th Century

Who Killed Panayot? Reforming Ottoman Legal Culture in the 19th Century

Who Killed Panayot? retells the true story of an opium robbery and subsequent police investigation that took place in the port-city of Izmir in 1850-52. What started as a simple case soon turned into a diplomatic crisis between two bygone empires as the investigation provoked strong tensions between the British community in Izmir and the local Ottoman authorities. These tensions were exacerbated by the death of one of the suspects – a gardener named Panayot – after he was interrogated by the police. Drawing on a wide range of archival sources from the affair Paz skilfully reconstructs this untold saga. Through microhistory and sociolegal analysis he pieces together the lives of the outlaws and policemen involved in the case and sheds important light on the history of opium smuggling and the impact of interrogation under torture. Paz argues that a culture of lying was adopted by both British and Ottoman officials in face of the new legal reality that forged the concepts of human rights and the rule of law. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of microhistory as well as those interested in sociolegal history non-Western modernity and the Ottoman Empire. | Who Killed Panayot?

Criminality and Power in the Postcolonial City Mapping the Mean Streets of Mumbai and Naples

Criminality and Power in the Postcolonial City Mapping the Mean Streets of Mumbai and Naples

This book investigates the literary imaginings of the postcolonial city through the lens of crime in texts set in Naples and Mumbai from the 1990s to the present. Employing the analogy of a ‘black hole ’ it posits the discourse on criminality as a way to investigate the contemporary spatial manifestations of coloniality and global capitalist urbanity. Despite their different histories Mumbai and Naples have remarkable similarities. Both are port cities ‘gateways’ to their countries and regional trade networks and both are marked by extreme wealth and poverty. They are also the sites and symbolic battlegrounds for a wider struggle in which ‘the North exploits the South and the South fights back. ’ As one of the characters of the novel The Neapolitan Book of the Dead puts it a narrativisation of the underworld allows for a ‘discovery of a different city from its forgotten corners. ’ Crime provides a means to understand the relationship between space and society/culture in a number of cities across the Global South by tracing a narrative of postcolonial urbanity that exposes the connections between exploitation and the ongoing ‘coloniality of power. ’ | Criminality and Power in the Postcolonial City Mapping the Mean Streets of Mumbai and Naples

Routledge Handbook of Landscape and Food

Routledge Handbook of Landscape and Food

Since the turn of the millennium there has been a burgeoning interest in and literature of both landscape studies and food studies. Landscape describes places as relationships and processes. Landscapes create people’s identities and guide their actions and their preferences while at the same time are shaped by the actions and forces of people. Food as currency medium and sustenance is a fundamental part of those landscape relationships. This volume brings together over fifty contributors from around the world in forty profoundly interdisciplinary chapters. Chapter authors represent an astonishing range of disciplines from agronomy anthropology archaeology conservation countryside management cultural studies ecology ethics geography heritage studies landscape architecture landscape management and planning literature urban design and architecture. Both food studies and landscape studies defy comprehension from the perspective of a single discipline and thus such a range is both necessary and enriching. The Routledge Handbook of Landscape and Food is intended as a first port of call for scholars and researchers seeking to undertake new work at the many intersections of landscape and food. Each chapter provides an authoritative overview a broad range of pertinent readings and references and seeks to identify areas where new research is needed—though these may also be identified in the many fertile areas in which subjects and chapters overlap within the book.
