Description
The theme of this issue of Soundings is Monsters and Morals. Contributors look at the way boundaries are constructed between individuals and cultures, often through a process of othering; the creation of others as monsters allow us to see ourselves as non-monsters. Contributors discuss 11 September; Fortress Europe; class boundaries in a suburban town; schizophrenia and race; and ethical responses to 'the stranger'. The issue also includes discussion of New Labour and the Demos tendency; the WEA's journal Highway in the 1930s; and life in post-Nato Serbia. There is also an extract from Tom Kay's personal diaries of living under siege in Ramallah earlier this year; plus reviews and poems.
