TL;DR: This article pointed out that despite its comparative quality and volume, Indo-English literature had no following comparable to that of Africa and the Caribbean, whereas social conflicts making news in those regions were enough to make their literatures a going issue.
Abstract: Until the appearance of Midnight’s Children in 1980, India’s literary agents in the West were, for the most part, obscure intellectual tourists or Indian academics writing in the yellowed volumes of Delhi publishing houses. Srinivasa Iyengar has noted, for example, that at the very moment that Commonwealth fiction was finally getting attention, Indo-English literature — despite its comparative quality and volume — had no following comparable to that of Africa and the Caribbean. In the United States and in Britain, the social conflicts making news in those regions were enough to make their literatures a going issue, whereas India and the Raj (much less the Independence struggle itself) were already an old story.

TL;DR: Thomas Starkey (c. 1495-1538) was the most Italianate Englishman of his generation as discussed by the authors, who was a follower of Marsilio of Padua.
Abstract: Thomas Starkey (c. 1495–1538) was the most Italianate Englishman of his generation. This book places Starkey into new and more appropriate contexts, both biographical and intellectual, taking him out of others in which he does not belong, from displaced Roundhead to follower of Marsilio of Padua. Beginning with his native Cheshire, it traces his career through Oxford, Padua, Paris, Avignon, Padua again, and finally England, where he spent the last four years of his life trying to fulfil his ambition to serve the commonweal. Most of Starkey's career revolved around his patron Reginald Pole, scion of the highest nobility, but Starkey (and many other Englishmen) managed to balance loyalty to Pole with allegiance to Henry VIII. Out of favour with the king's secretary after the middle of 1536, Starkey turned increasingly to religion, continuing to cling to his conciliarist and Italian Evangelical opinions until his death.

TL;DR: The Challenge of Scale as mentioned in this paper was an introductory volume to a series of publications to focus on the impact of scale on national educational systems in the small states of the Commonwealth, focusing on the demands which are placed on senior administrators who have to undertake a variety of tasks by virtue of a limited range of specialist skills and departments.
Abstract: In 1987 the Commonwealth Secretariat published The Challenge of Scale (editors Kazim Bacchus and Colin Brock). This was an introductory volume to a series of publications to focus on the impact of scale on national educational systems in the small states of the Commonwealth. This handbook concentrates on the demands which are placed on senior administrators who have to undertake a variety of tasks by virtue of a limited range of specialist skills and departments in small state systems. It recognises the very special demands placed on senior managers who live and work in societies distinguished by closely knit, highly personalized networks. It also highlights the vital importance of overseas linkages and their implication for the work of the educational administrator.

TL;DR: The educational issues associated with the small size of countries have long been neglected by administrators and academics as discussed by the authors, and recent work by the Commonwealth Secretariat has done much to remedy this neglect by providing a specific case-study.
Abstract: The educational issues associated with the small size of countries have long been neglected by administrators and academics. Recent work by the Commonwealth Secretariat has done much to remedy this neglect, but the topic is still in its infancy. This paper contributes to the body of literature by providing a specific case-study. By focusing on Macau, it also helps balance the bias of existing work, most of which concentrates on Commonwealth countries.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the implications of using marginal, minority or third world literatures in the fields of Commonwealth and national literatures and their quick claiming of what they call marginal or third-world literatures.
Abstract: Margins are popular these days. Everyone is claiming them. But one thing remains the same. Colonial and post-colonial literatures remain on the margins. We were marginal to the old critical approaches and we are marginal to the new. The new literatures in English have been discovered as fit subject matter for journals that would never have considered them of interest a few years ago. My problem is with the nature of this interest. To what extent does it represent a genuine discovery of cultural differences and to what extent can it be seen as a new form of cultural imperialism that now appropriates instead of silencing post-colonial literary productions? I am inspired by the new avenues for rethinking the discipline opened up by the pioneering work of critics such as Edward Said and Gayatri Spivak. But I am also disturbed by the implications of some of the work that is now appearing. This paper deals with some of my reservations about the language and approach now being applied to marginal literatures by mainstream critics. It asks about the implications of their quick dismissals of work in the fields of Commonwealth literatures and national literatures and their quick claiming of what they call marginal, minority or third world literatures.

TL;DR: For example, during the radical period of the Forbes Burnham era in Guyanese politics, from 1970 to 1985, the country appeared to have won respect for its foreign policy in CARICOM and in the British Commonwealth, as well as in the broader Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: During the radical period of the Forbes Burnham era in Guyanese politics, from 1970 to 1985, the country appeared to have won respect for its foreign policy in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and in the British Commonwealth, as well as in the broader Non-Aligned Movement (NAM). The general perception was that Guyana was one of a select few small Third World states with a coherent revolutionary foreign policy, for which it paid a high price through superpower retaliatory efforts to destabilize its society.

TL;DR: In this paper, the author focuses on the efforts made by the Labour government in the United Kingdom to meet the labor shortage that occurred following World War II by encouraging immigration and considers the paradox in which the efforts to attract immigrants were directed toward Europe although changes were being made at the same time to the British nationality law to ensure that the populations of British colonies and Commonwealth countries remained British citizens.
Abstract: The author focuses on the efforts made by the Labour government in the United Kingdom to meet the labor shortage that occurred following World War II by encouraging immigration. In particular he considers the the paradox in which the efforts to attract immigrants were directed toward Europe although changes were being made at the same time to the British nationality law to ensure that the populations of British colonies and Commonwealth countries remained British citizens. "In the first section of the paper I provide an overview of the legal framework determining inward migration flows and of the migration flows themselves. Thereafter I analyse the main determinants of the migrations and the main themes that ran through the political debate about immigration during the late 1940s as a basis for confronting the previously identified paradox."
