Excerpt from The Pandex of the Press, Vol. 2: July-December, 1905 The psychological moment for turning back to the old rut passed when the Quaker City, so recently made notorious by the Steffens epithet of corrupt and contented, besieged the City Council and hooted and shamed the bribe-takers from their nefarious purposes. The entire nation responded to this with a quickening applause and a. Pledge of unprecedented fellowship. The incident was recognized in New York as the tolling of a new liberty bell and throughout America was hailed as a logical and almost all-too-welcome advance beyond the previous declaration of industrial independence made in Kansas. The strength of the Philadelphia fight had been that its real sponsors were like the real sponsors of Amalgamated, the best men of the community. When even the power of such as these was thus overmatched by the force of public indignation, it was realized that the personal, as. Well as the objective, equation of modern social administration had been solved. Regardless of who they were, the sponsors were driven under the yoke of the municipality and its mayor. Once for all predominant individual interests were made subordinate to the common good. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This work seeks to examine the event and concurrent transition that the inauguration of India and Pakistan as ‘postcolonial’ states in August 1947 constituted and effectuated. Analysing India and Pakistan together in a parallel and mutually dependant reading, and utilizing primary data and archival materials, Svensson offers new insights into the current literature, seeking to conceptualise independence through partition and decolonisation in terms of novelty and as a ‘restarting of time’. Through his analysis, Svensson demonstrates the constitutive and inexorable entwinement of contingency and restoration, of openness and closure, in the establishment of the postcolonial state. It is maintained that those involved in instituting the new state in a moment devoid of fixity and foundation ‘anchor’ it in preceding beginnings. The work concludes with the proposition that the novelty should not only be regarded as contained in the moment of transition. It should also be seen as contained in the pledge, in the promise and the gesturing towards a future community. Distinct from most other studies on the partition and independence the book assumes the constitutive moment as the focal point, offering a new approach to the study of partition in British India, decolonisation and the institutional of the postcolonial state. This work will be of great interest to students and scholars of international relations, South Asian studies and political and postcolonial theory.

The book explores the impact of culture on identity, and of cultural differences on interaction. It looks at how one might take a client′s cultural context into consideration, or deal with racism, and provides a sophisticated account of the salient value systems of Western and non-Western cultures. Contributors also challenge the suitability of a client-centred approach for clients from non-Western backgrounds, and explore the possibilities for transcultural, culture-centred and multimodal models of counselling in the West.
