John Young

In a radical reflection, John Young contends that the US model of democracy has failed the Global South because its emphasis on the supremacy of market capitalism entails a loss of national sovereignty and a truncated notion of human rights that leaves little room for citizens’ engagement or socioeconomic justice. The Global South needs democracy, but the US model does not address issues of national oppression or economic injustices by raising living standards and ensuring national sovereignty. However, the US international liberal order is increasing being challenged, and a multipolar world is emerging that provides opportunities for people in the Global South to construct systems of democracy that meet their needs rather than those of the US.

A parliamentary duty on a common grocery item? The destruction of three shiploads of tea in one of the colonies' largest ports? By the way, what happened to the cargo of tea shipped to Charleston? What were the circumstances that brought colonial America's favorite non-alcoholic beverage center stage in a face-off between the mother country and her obstreperous children? And how did the citizenry of Charleston react to this latest taxation-without-representation enactment? All these questions as well as many as-yet-unasked ones will be answered within the pages of The Charleston Tea Party. Based on meticulous historical research through archives, this book makes the years leading up to the American Revolution come alive, with quotes from newspapers and correspondence from the era, supported by graphic images.

John Young first left England, at 10 days old, for Sierra Leone with his missionary parents in 1934. Thus began a life of adventure, travel, and zest for new opportunities. After a childhood spent between Africa, the Yorkshire moors, and English boarding schools, he set off at 17 alone for New Zealand to be a forester and then to university, paying his way with an assortment of jobs from boatbuilder to wharfie to postman. Pursuing a career on the stage was somehow combined with completing an MA degree, as John energetically threw himself into working out where to live, what to do, and who to love. Marriage, a return to England to take a degree at Oxford, and starting a family, were followed by a move to South Australia and an academic career. Through all this, there were always wooden boats. A leaky skiff held together with pitch, old rope and a father's love. Summers spent making himself useful to owners of other boats. A boat to sail as a young couple in New Zealand; a sloop built in the backyard and sailed amongst the Fijian islands mapping ancient fortifications; the 100-foot sail training ship, One and All, built with community perseverance and now gracing the waters of South Australia. Boats built with unique Tasmanian timbers, after John and his wife moved to Franklin to establish a school of wooden boatbuilding and helped a town recover its remarkable maritime identity. At 85, John looks back on the many choices made and turns taken in his life with some pride in his achievements as well as regret at his failures--and still wants to build another boat. Dr John Young is the author of Australia's Pacific Frontier (1967), Adventurous Spirits (1984), A Touch of Magic: The Building of the One and All (1984), Sustaining the Earth (1990) and numerous articles on New Zealand, Australian, Maritime and Pacific History, environmental issues and the educational value of wooden boatbuilding.
