Imagined Liberation (2nd edition)
0R370,00On a spectrum of hostility towards irregular migrants, South Africa ranks on top, Germany in the middle and Canada at the bottom. South African xenophobic violence by impoverished slum dwellers is directed against fellow Africans. Why would a society that liberated itself in the name of human rights turn against people who escaped human rights violations or unlivable conditions at home? What happened to the expected African solidarity? Why do former victims become victimizers?
Imagined Liberation asks what xenophobic societies can learn from other immigrant societies which avoided the backlash against multiculturalism in Europe.

In Different Times
0R440,00This is the first attempt to bring together diverse scholars, using different lenses, to study South AfricaOs Border War. As a book, it is critical in approach, provides deeper reflection, and focuses specifically on the SADF experience of the war. The result is a more complex picture of the warOs dynamics and its legacies. Although South Africa is a vastly different country today, the study of the Border War opens a range of questions, also relevant to contemporary deployments such as in Lesotho (1998) and the Central African Republic (2013). It includes the debate on participation in foreign conflicts; on the deployment, design and preparation of appropriate, modern armed forces and their use as foreign policy instruments in far_off theatres; on military planning; and, as the historical controversies regarding the battles at Cuito Cuanavale and Bangui illustrate, on the interface between foreign campaigning and domestic politics.

In ons Bloed
0R375,00Dis in hierdie bloed waar die polsslag van ‘n eens dinamiese en kleurvolle gemeenskap tot uiting kom. Deur ‘n interaktiewe benadering tot geskiedskrywing, ontsluit hierdie publikasie die ervarings van ‘n randgemeenskap wat eens sentraal aan Stellenbosch was maar noodgedwonge moes skuif as gevolg van die Groepsgebiedewet.
In ons bloed maak aanspraak op die besitreg van ‘n eie geskiedenis wat tot nou toe verskuil was in om-die-vuur stories. Hierdie diepliggende ondervindings word nou uiteindelik losgemaak van ‘n eie ingehokte verlede, om opnuut weer die helende bloed van dit wat ons bind, te laat vloei.

Inclusive Businesses in Agriculture
0R0,00Inclusive business is hailed as a win-win scenario for the development of poor communities; yet there is little insight into how these inclusive businesses work and, more importantly, for whom. This book aims for a thorough understanding of the range of inclusive businesses in agriculture by examining: the structures they implement, the actors involved, and whether they are effectively inclusive of smallholders. It presents a range of case studies and is therefore empirically based and practically oriented. By offering a critical assessment of inclusive businesses overall, it allows for a better perception of what works where, and under which conditions. It provides useful insights that will benefit smallholders, agri-businesses, support groups, policy makers and investors who are willing to promote more inclusive businesses, that foster a better integration of smallholders into commercial value-chains and a more equitable and sustainable agricultural sector.
