Pure Mafia - a novel about child labour, plus thesis and commentary
No full textThis thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.This PhD in Creative Writing consists of three parts. The first part is a full-length novel, approximately 80K words, entitled Pure
Mafia. It is a drama about child labour and the Pakistani “carpet mafia”. This is
intertwined with the story of an unhappily married man undergoing a midlife crisis who
has an affair with a younger woman; the latter is instrumental to the main plot about
child labour. The book’s second main theme is British Pakistanis. An overarching theme
is abuse and exploitation, both personal and global, but ultimately of redemption and
renewal. The story is set in 2010/2011, mainly in London, England, with a middle
section in Lahore, Pakistan. The second part is an academic thesis, approximately 20K words, entitled Cheap Labour = Child Labour, on the main theme of the novel, child labour. It attempts to show that child labour is an inevitable consequence of cheap labour generally, and that the only way to tackle child labour is to address cheap labour. The thesis has been consciously and deliberately written as an objective, third person, standalone document and for this reason does not mention the novel. It is partly designed to fulfil the general
PhD criterion of demonstrating scholarship and research. The third part is a subjective, first person critical commentary, approximately 15K words, on the writing of the novel and the thesis, the connection between them, and the research context; it is entitled Pure Mafia: A critical commentary. It explains why
the main thesis is on child labour, rather than on the creative process or an English
Literature thesis; however, the commentary does include in some detail an insight into
the creative process, as well as a discussion of influences and tradition of writing. The final section of the commentary summarises this entire PhD’s original
contribution to knowledge

No full textIt is almost inconceivable that one of the men responsible for the so-called "hot" musical number, "Underneath the Bamboo Tree," should be closely allied with any cultural movement of any sort. Yet James Weldon Johnson, the Negro author of the Bamboo Tree lyrics, has been referred to as an esthetic leader of his race, and has been several times compared, as a poet, to John M.
