This extensively researched text concerning the life and career of Liverpool-born Black jazz musician Gordon Stretton not only contributes to the important debate concerning the transoceanic pathways of jazz during the 20th century, but also suggests to the jazz fan and scholar alike that such pathways, reaching as they also did across the Atlantic from Europe, are actually part of a largely ignored therefore partially-hidden history of 20th century jazz performance, industry and influence. The work also exists to contribute to a more complete picture of the significance of diaspora studies across the spectrum of popular music performance, and to award to those Liverpool musicians who were not contributors to the city’s musical visage post-rock ‘n’ roll, a place in popular music history. Gordon Stretton was a jazz pioneer in several senses: he emerged from a poverty-stricken, racially marginalized upbringing in Liverpool to develop a popular music career emblematic of Black diasporan experience. He was a child dancer and singer in the Lancashire Lads (the troupe which was also part of a young Charlie Chaplin’s development), a well-respected solo touring artist in the UK as ‘The Natural Artistic Coon’, a chorister and musical director with the Jamaican Choral Union and, having encountered syncopated music, a jazz percussionist, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist (not to mention a ground-breaking bandleader). All of these musical experiences took place through time on his own terms as he learnt his craft ‘on the hoof’ via many different encounters with musical genres from Liverpool to London, Paris, Brussels, Rio, and Buenos Aires. Gordon Stretton was truly a transoceanic jazz pioneer.

Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 2,0, http://www.uni-jena.de/ (Institut für Anglistik/Amerikanistik), course: Introduction to English/American Literary Studies II, language: English, abstract: Jean Rhys short-story “Pioneers, Oh, Pioneers” takes place on the Caribbean island Dominica at a time, when it was still a British colony. It is a story about aman called Mr. Ramage who buys a house on this island, marries a native girl and starts to behave so unconventional that the other people in the city become askant, spread rumours about them and pursue him. Under that pressure he probably commits suicide. Though the last-mentioned aspect is not said exactly it is most likely. The setting of the story is influenced by both, the environment and representatives of British colonialism and the nature and the wilderness of the Caribbean island itself. Rhys probably chose this exotic setting for two reasons: the accentuation of the unnaturalness and the declining power of British colonialism and for the reprocessing of her own childhood memories

Glendenning Days is the chronicle of my family's long trek from the British Isles to Manitoba. For them, and many others, it was a convoluted journey. As settlement proceeded westward, they made brief (often years) stops in both Upper Canada and Canada West but neither satisfied them. They were driven by the desire to own land, something impossible in the Britain that they had left, and when the Northwest Territories opened to settlement they rushed to Manitoba. As homesteaders they had achieved their goal; they became landowners, independent and self sufficient. Rural communities developed centered on family farms and one-roomed country schools. However, their complacency was short lived, within my lifetime the country schools have closed, family farms have been gobbled up by agricultural conglomerates, and rural communities have been absorbed into the towns. My brother Willard and I were born near the end of the pioneer era and shared some of their way of life, a transition period between the pioneer and modern times. We lived on the farm and walked to Glendenning School until 1952, when we left for high school in Killarney. Those were our formative years and left an indelible impression on us. Now the rural lifestyle that we knew has completely disappeared and this book is an attempt to preserve those memories before they are lost. My ancestors immigrated to escape the poverty of industrial Britain, the workhouses, and the potato famine. The new world was harsh but offered them much better opportunities. Despite two world wars and a depression they prospered, leaving us a legacy of comfort and security that must exceed even their most optimistic dreams. Unfortunately for us, prosperity comes with a cost; technical and material progress has brought a new set of troubles to confound us. Our physical environment is threatened, not because of their actions but because of our perverse avarice. The colonialists' goals were to subdue a cruel and stubborn nature to serve mans' needs and God's purpose. From their perspective, the bounty of nature was limitless and their pitiful intrusions made little impact on its resources. They did not anticipate that the enormous technological capacity of the next generation would make it possible to alter nature, not just in small patches, but globally. A mind set that was appropriate for colonization and settlement becomes a liability in an age of advanced technology. Unfortunately, many today still view nature through their eyes and have brought our planet close to destruction. Technological change is not their only legacy; we have also inherited a history laced with resentment and perceived entitlement. Our ancestors' experiences with government officials and land jobbers left them suspicious of any authority. Westerners have inherited that legacy as resentment and grievances against the rest of Canada, attitudes that still threaten our unity. Now, as never before, we need a unified front to address our environmental and social issues. Just as toppling statues will not erase the wrongs of the past, tarnishing the pioneer legacy will not guide our path to the future. We must avoid repeating their mistakes, but we must also adopt a novel set of goals and strategies to guide our way forward.
