Changing Space, Changing City
Johannesburg after Apartheid
Editors: Graeme Gotz, Philip Harrison,
Alison Todes and Chris Wray
As the dynamo of South Africas economy,
Johannesburg commands a central position
in the nations imagination, and scholars
throughout the world monitor the city as an
exemplar of urbanity in the global South.
This richly illustrated book offers detailed
empirical analyses of changes in the citys
physical space, as well as descriptions of the
character of specic neighbourhoods and the
social identities being forged within them.
Informing all of these is a consideration of
underlying economic, social and political
processes shaping the wider Gauteng region.
A mix of respected academics, practising
urban planners and experienced policymakers
offer compelling overviews of the rapid and
complex spatial developments that have
taken place in Johannesburg since the end of
apartheid, along with tantalising glimpses into
life on the streets and behind the high walls of
this diverse city.
The book has three sections. Section A
provides an overview of macro-spatial trends and
the policies that have inuenced them. Section
B explores the shaping of the city at district
and suburban level, revealing the peculiarity
of processes in different areas. This analysis
elucidates the larger trends, while identifying
shifts that are not easily detected at the macro
level. Section C is an assembly of chapters and
short vignettes that focus on the interweaving of
place and identity at a micro-level.
Empirical data includes the 2011 Census,
the citys Development Planning and Urban
Management Departments information
system, and Gauteng City-Region Observatorys
substantial archive, which makes the book an
essential reference for planning practitioners,
urban geographers, sociologists and social
anthropologists, among others.

The Elusive Metropolis
Edited by Sarah Nuttall and Achille Mbembe
With an Afterword by Arjun Appadurai and
Carol A. Breckenridge
Theories of urbanisation have cast Johannesburg as
the spatial embodiment of unequal economic relations.
Contesting such characterisations, classic theories of
metropolitan modernity are reassessed for the city in
post-apartheid South Africa, examining Johannesburg
as a polycentric city with a hybrid history that
continually permeates the present.

Melancholia of Freedom
Social Life in an Indian Township
in South Africa
Thomas Blom Hansen
Hansen explores the struggles of South African Indians
to take possession of their new political and cultural
liberty since the end of apartheid. This compelling
and highly original book calls on us to rethink the
complex chal lenges that attend the meaning of
freedom everywhere.
Jean Comaroff, University of Chicago
The end of apartheid in 1994 signalled a moment of
freedom and a promise of a non-racial future. With this
promise came an injunction: dene yourself as you
truly are, as an individual, and as a community. Almost
two decades later it is clear that the habits and
horizons of anxious life in racially dened enclaves
determined post-apartheid freedom. Melancholia of
Freedom offers an in-depth analysis of the
uncertainties, dreams, and anxieties that have
accompanied post-apartheid freedoms in Chatsworth,
a formerly Indian township in Durban.
Exploring ve decades of township life, Hansen
describes how racial segmentation still informs
daily life, notions of race, personhood, morality, and
religious ethics. He also demonstrates the force of
global religious imaginings that promise a universal
and inclusive community amid uncer tain lives and
futures in the post-apartheid nation-state.
Thomas Blom Hansen is professor of anthropology
and the Reliance-Dhirubhai Ambani Professor of
South Asian Studies at Stanford University, where
he also directs the Centre for South Asia. His books
include The Saffron Wave and Wages of Violence.

City of Extremes
The Spatial Politics of Johannesburg
Martin J. Murray
Murray offers a critique of urban development in greater
Johannesburg since 1994. By creating new sites of
sequestered luxury catering to the comfort and security
of afuent residents, city-builders have produced a
new spatial dynamic of social exclusion, effectively
barricading the mostly black urban poor from full
participation in the mainstream of urban life.
Martin J. Murray is Professor of Urban Planning at the
Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning,
and Adjunct Professor at the Center for African and
African-American Studies at the University of Michigan.
ANTHROPOLOGY
Africa in Theory
Achille Mbembe
Theory has been the name of the Wests attempt at
domesticating contingency as well as the way the West
has distinguished itself from the Rest. As the new century
unfolds it is essential to pose new questions about
how we know what we know and what that knowledge
is grounded upon. A site of unfolding developments
that are contradictory, uneven, contested, and for the
most part undocumented, the Continent is perhaps the
epicentre of contemporary global transformations.
In this new book, Achille Mbembe describes a deeply
heterogeneous world of ows, fractures and frictions.
Power relations and the antagonisms that shape late
capitalism are being redened in ways and forms not seen
at earlier historical periods. New boundaries emerge while
old ones are being redrawn. The paradoxes of mobility
and closure, of connection and separation, continuities
and discontinuities, the local and the global, or of
temporariness and permanence, pose new challenges to
critical thought. Furthermore, they testify to an openness
of the social that can no longer be solely accounted for by
earlier descriptive and interpretive models.
Mbembe shows how any inquiry into the place
of Africa in theory is of necessity an interrogation
concerning the experience of the world in the epoch of
planetary power.

On the Postcolony
Achille Mbembe
An uncanny breach in the commonplaces of thought.
Ato Quayson, Professor of English and Director of
the Centre for Diaspora and Transnation al Studies
at the University of Toronto and author of Aesthetic
Nervousness: Disability and the Crisis of Representation
First published in 2001, Achille Mbembes landmark book,
On the Postcolony continues to renew our understanding
of power and subjectivity in Africa. This edition has been
updated with a new preface by the author.
In a series of provocative essays, Achille Mbembe
contests diehard Africanist and nativist perspectives
as well as some of the key assumptions of postcolonial
theory. Through his provocation, the banality of power,
Mbembe reinterprets the meanings of death, utopia
and the divine libido as part of the new theoretical
perspectives he offers on the constitution of power in
Africa. He works with the complex registers of bodily
subjectivity violence, wonder and laughter to
contest categories of oppression and resistance,
autonomy and subjection, and state and civil society that
marked the social theory of the late twentieth century.
On the Postcolony, like Frantz Fanons Black Skins,
White Masks, will remain a text of profound importance in
the discourse of anti-colonial and anti-imperial struggles.

Marxisms in the Twenty-First Century
Crisis, Critique, Struggle
Edited by Michelle Williams
and Vishwas Satgar
This book approaches global themes from a Southern
/ African standpoint and perspective that is not often
recognised, yet is centrally valuable not only to critically
evaluate Marxism but to understand global dynamics.
Thiven Reddy, University of Cape Town
The current resurgence of Marxism is based on new
sources of inspiration and creativity from movements
that seek democratic, egalitarian and ecological
alternatives to capitalism. The Marxism of many of
these movements is neither dogmatic nor prescriptive,
but rather open, searching, utopian. It revolves around
four primary factors: the importance of democracy
for an emancipatory project; the ecological limits of
capitalism; the crisis of global capitalism; and the
learning of lessons from the failures of Marxist-inspired
experiments. This edited book draws on anti-capitalist
traditions such as feminism, ecology, anarchism and
indigenous traditions.

Dene and Rule
Native as Political Identity
W.E.B. Du Bois Lectures
Mahmood Mamdani
Mamdani distills with magisterial clarity his reections on
how political thought and law converged in the colonial
imaginary to create a technology of rule that spanned
South East Asia, India and most of Africa. Original and
always provocative, in this book Mamdani gives us the
intellectual co-ordinates with which to chart a way toward
a truly decolonised political future.
Suren Pillay, University of the Western Cape
Dene and Rule focuses on the turn in late nineteenth-
century colonial statecraft when Britain introduced
a new idea of governance, that of the denition and
management of difference. Mahmood Mamdani explores
how lines were drawn between settler and native
as distinct political identities, and between natives
according to tribe. The new politics, inspired by Sir Henry
Maine, were later translated into native administration
in the African colonies.
Mahmood Mamdani is Director of the Makerere Institute
of Social Research at Makerere University and Herbert
Lehman Professor of Government at Columbia University.
Some of his books include: Citizen and Subject:
Contemporary Africa and the Legacy of Late Colonialism

South Africas
Suspended Revolution
Hopes and Prospects
Adam Habib
Thorough, thoughtful, theoretically informed
. This is the most important book on South
Africas politics to be published in a decade.
Peter Vale, University of Johannesburg and
Nelson Mandela Emeritus Professor of Politics,
Rhodes University
South Africas Suspended Revolution engages
with the countrys transition into democracy and
its prospects for inclusive development. It is an
antidote to many descriptive and voluntarist
explanations in which leaders and other actors
are treated as unfettered agents whose choices
and behaviour are merely the result of their
own abilities or follies. In contrast, Adam Habib
locates these actors in context. He tries to
understand the institutional constraints within
which they operated, why they made the choices
they did, and what the consequences are. The
book also explores what other policy options and
behavioural choices may have been available,
and why these were forsaken for the ones that
were eventually adopted.
In essence, the book is about how South
Africa got to its present state of affairs, what its
current challenges are, and how these could be
transcended. It is deeply historical in the sense
of understanding what possibilities may have
existed in one moment, but not another. The
narrative recognises that societies evolve and
as a result the potential for political and socio-
economic advances themselves change.
This then is a story of the dynamic interplay
between actors and context, how the latter
can constrain and condition the former, but
also how individuals and institutions can,
with imagination, act against the grain of
their location and historical moment, thereby
transforming the possibilities and, through them,
society itself.

Review 2
New Paths,
Old Compromises?
Edited by John Daniel,
Prishani Naidoo, Devan Pillay
and Roger Southall
The New Growth Path (NGP) adopted
by the South African government in
2010 provides the basis for a debate
about whether decent work is the
best possible solution to South
Africas problems of low economic
growth and high unemployment.
Asking whether the NGP reects
a set of new policies or an attempt to
re-dress old (com)promises in new
clothes, this volume brings together
different voices in debate about
possibilities for alternatives to neo-
liberal and capitalist development in
South Africa.

2010: Development
or Decline?
and Roger Southall
Posing the provocative question of
whether South Africa is embarking
upon a long-term decline, the volume
simultaneously argues the potential for
a society premised upon social equality,
social coherence and sustainability.
It ranges widely across the
implications of the international crisis
for the economy, the threats to our
fragile ecology of present economic
strategies, through to the state of the
ANC and the public service, issues
around service delivery, migration,
HIV/AIDS, land reform, crime, the
sexual behavior of our youth, and
much more.

The Second Phase
Tragedy or Farce?
and Roger Southall
The ANC announced a second
phase of the national democratic
revolution to deal with the
challenges of inequality, poverty and
unemployment. Yet post-Mangaung,
it has preserved the core tenets of the
minerals-energy-nancial complex
that dened racial capitalism, while
ratcheting up the revolutionary
rhetoric to keep the working class
and marginalised onside. If the rst
phase was a tragedy of the unmet
expectations of the majority, is the
second phase likely to be a farce?

Reviving the tradition of critical, independent scholarship developed in the 1970s and 1980s by the South African Review,
the New South African Review offers original surveys of key issues and problems confronting post-apartheid South Africa.
Written by a team of engaged social scientists, it provides commentary on current controversies in an informative, discursive
and accessible manner.
The New South African Review offers a valuable compass to navigate us through South(ern) African socio-economic and
political local and regional realities. It is an important stocktaking exercise. With every year, the New South African Review
becomes an ever more important tool for analytical insights into, and assessments of, the challenges.

A Fragile Democracy
Twenty Years On
Gilbert M Khadiagala, Prishani Naidoo,
Devan Pillay, Roger Southall
The death of Nelson Mandela on 5 December 2013
was a wake-up call for South Africans and a time
to reect at the end of an era, and on the eve of
an anniversary and a general election on what
has been achieved since those magni cent days
in late April 1994 (as the editors of this volume
put it) when South Africans of all colours voted
for the rst time in a democratic election.
In a time of recall and reection it is important
to take account, not only of the dramatic events
that grip the headlines, but also of other signposts
that indicate the shape and aspect of a society.
The New South African Review looks at some of
these signposts. The essays in this fourth volume
tackle topics as diverse as the state of organised
labour, food retailing, electricity generation,
access to information, civil courage, the school
system, and looking outside the country to its
place in the world, South Africas relationships
with north-east Asia, Israel and its neighbours in
Southern Africa. Taken together, these essays give
a multidimensional perspective on South Africas
democracy as its turns twenty.

Popular Politics and Resistance

and Marcelle C Dawson
Exploring features of popular politics and resistance
pre- and post-1994, this volume looks at continuities

as well as the signicance of post-apartheid
grassroots politics. Is this a new form of politics or a
direct descendent of insurrectionary impulses of the
late apartheid era?

Mbeki and After
Reections on the Legacy
of Thabo Mbeki
Edited by Daryl Glaser
Thabo Mbeki was a seminal gure in South Africas
new democracy. If we wish to understand the
character and fate of post-1994 South Africa, we must

and society did the former President bequeath to
the government of Jacob Zuma and to the citizens of
South Africa generally?

The African National Congress and
the Regeneration of Political Power
Susan Booysen
The ANC is a party-movement that draws on its
liberation credentials yet is conicted by a multitude
of weaknesses, factions and internal succession
battles. Booysen constructs her analysis around the
ANCs four faces of political power organisation,
people, political parties and elections, and policy and
government and explores how, since 1994, it has
acted to continuously regenerate its power.
Susan Booysen is a political analyst and com ment-
ator based at Wits Universitys Graduate School of

Regarding Muslims
From slavery to post-partheid
Gabeba Baderoon
Foreword by Rustum Kozain
Drawing on the by now extensive scholarship on
slavery at the Cape, Gabeba Baderoon guides
us through the labyrinth of racial and cultural
stereotyping which for centuries minimised
Islam and obscured Muslims as actors in South
African history. Intellectually sophisticated in its
explorations of material culture, of iconography,
and of media rhetoric, yet lively in style and
engagingly personal in presentation, Regarding
Muslims is a welcome contribution to the larger
revisionist project under way in South Africa.
JM Coetzee, Nobel Laureate for Literature, 2003
How do Muslims t into South Africas well-known
narrative of colonialism, apartheid and post-
apartheid? South Africa is infamous for apartheid,
but the countrys foundation was laid by 176
years of slavery from 1658 to 1834, which formed
a crucible of war, genocide and systemic sexual
violence that continues to haunt the country
today. Enslaved people from East Africa, India
and South East Asia, many of whom were Muslim,
would eventually constitute the majority of the
population of the Cape Colony, the rst of the
colonial territories that would eventually
form South Africa.
Drawing on an extensive popular and ofcial
archive, Regarding Muslims analyses the role of
Muslims from South Africas founding moments
to the contemporary period and points to the
resonance of these discussions beyond South
Africa. It argues that the 350-year archive of images
documenting the presence of Muslims in the
country is central to understanding the formation
of concepts of race, sexuality and belonging.
In contrast to the themes of extremism and
alienation that dominate Western portrayals
of Muslims, Regarding Muslims explores an
extensive repertoire of picturesque Muslim gures
in South African popular culture, which oscillates
with more disquieting images that occasionally
burst into prominence during moments of crisis.
This pattern is illustrated through analyses of
etymology, popular culture, visual art, jokes,
bodily practices, oral narratives and literature.
The book ends with the complex vision of Islam
conveyed in the post-apartheid period.

Why does it matter that nations should care for

The Peoples Paper
A Centenary History and Anthology
of Abantu-Batho
Edited by Peter Limb
Abantu-Batho was a multi-lingual newspaper founded
in 1912 by African National Congress convener Pixley
Seme, with assistance from the Swazi Queen. It was
published until 1931, attracting the cream of African
politicians, journalists and poets. In its pages burning
issues of the day were articulated alongside cultural
by-ways.
The Peoples Paper consists of an anthology
comprising a judicious selection of never-before-
published columns from the paper spanning every
year of its life, as well as essays which provide insights
into South African politics and intellectual life.
Distinguished historians and literary scholars,
together with exciting young scholars, plumb the lives
and ideas of editors, writers, readers and allied
movements. Sharing the considerable interest in the
ANC centenary, this unique book will have a strong
appeal and secure an audience among all interested in
history, politics, culture, literature, gender, biography
and journalism studies, from academics and students
to a general public interested in knowing about this
early ANC newspaper, its people and the stories that
once captivated South Africans.
Peter Limb is Associate Professor and Africana
Bibliographer at Michigan State University. His

The Colour of Our Future
Race and Identity in a democratic
South Africa
and Mcebisi Ndletyana
To what extent does our political vocabulary limit
the range of our social imagination? What are
the implications of these conceptual limitations
for the construction of identities, for the
architecture of public institutions and for the
design of public policies?
The Colour of Our Future is a critical
engagement with these questions through a
discussion of race. It aims to provide a new and
rich lexicon for scholars, activists and public
intellectuals alike, inspired by the idea that
each epoch presents its own problem-space
with its own questions and answers. Yesterdays
questions and their answers may be necessary but
certainly not sufcient for solving our problems in
the present.
Some of the authors ask whether the
privileging of non-racialism in the public and
policy discourse means that our imagination
is limited by the pursuit of racial equality, and
whether such a pursuit has the same resonance
for young people living in a democratic society.
Others pose critical questions about the
implications of political, social and economic
plurality for previously solid political identities
such as blackness or Afrikanerness, while
others still inquire into the implications of such
loosening of identities for electoral politics.
As the title of the book suggests, the future
will have a colour, it is just the shades we dont
know. Or as the historian Eric Hobsbawm once
famously said, we are not wrong to think about
the future, we are only wrong to put a particular
face and costume to the stranger whose arrival we
were told to expect.

Psychological Assessment in
South Africa
Research and Applications
Edited by Sumaya Laher and Kate Cockcroft
Psychological Assessment in South Africa provides
an overview of the research related to psychological
assessment across a broad range of contexts. Written by
academics and practitioners, it provides a combination
of psychometric theory and practical assessment
applications. It covers a range of areas within the broad
eld of psychological assessment, including research
conducted with various psychological instruments,
and critically interrogates the Euro-centr ic and Western
cultural hegemonic practices that dominate the eld
at present. It thus creates a base of current, localised
research on which to build more egalitarian practices in
the future.
The 36 chapters are grouped in three sections: the
rst examines the conceptual and practical applications
of cognitive testing, the second collates recent research
and experiences related to personality and projective
tests, while the nal section explores assessment
approaches and methodologies.
The book is designed to function both as an
academic text for graduate students, and as a specialist
resource for professionals, including psychologists,
psychometrists, remedial teachers and human resource
practitioners.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
in South Africa
Contexts, Theories and Applications
Edited by Cora Smith, Glenys Lobban
and Michael OLoughlin
The need for shorter term therapy models and evidence-
based interventions is as acute in global practice as it is
locally. The lessons learned in South Africa have broader
implications for international practitioners, and the
authors stress the potential inherent in psychoanalytic
theory and technique to tackle the complex problems
faced in all places and settings characterised by
increasing globalisation and dislocation. Psychodynamic
Psychotherapy in South Africa is aimed at local and
international practitioners and students, while non-
specialist readers will nd the text informative

Contradicting Maternity

Contradicting Maternity offers an interpretation of
the experiences surrounding HIV-positive mothers.
It explores the situation in which two powerful
identities, those of motherhood and of being HIV-
positive, collide in the same moment. This collision
takes place at the interface of complex, and often
split, social and personal meanings concerning the
sanctity of motherhood and the anxieties of HIV.

Race, Memory and the Apartheid
Archive
Towards a Psychosocial Praxis
Edited by Garth Stevens, Norman Duncan
and Derek Hook
This book recognises and confronts the complex
history of racialised oppression, and the difculties
of transforming South African society through a
re-engagement with the apartheid archive one that
allows an understanding of the continued impact
of the past on our present social, subjective and
psychological realities.
Located within a psychosocial approach that is
uniquely suited to the socio-historical and psychical
analysis of racism, this book relies mainly on the
memories, stories and narratives of ordinary people,
submitted to the Apartheid Archive Project, as its
source material.
It provokes us into thinking about racism as
grounded as much in affective as in macro-political
means, in the functioning of both intrapsychic and
material forms, perpetuated as much in private as in
institutional domains.

Migrant Women of Johannesburg
Life in an in-between city
Caroline Wanjiku Kihato
The only way to apprehend the enigmatic African city
is to embrace the constitutive reality of mobility
the incessant practices of making home, money, love,
opportunity, enemies, faith, desire and fear on the go,
even when anchored for a while. Kihatos beautifully
crafted gem demonstrates just how this desperately
needed urban inquiry should be carried out incisive,
grounded, methodologically open and evocatively
written. The book is an indispensable addition to the
new corpus of feminist postcolonial urbanism.
Edgar Pieterse, African Centre for Cities, University
of Cape Town
Caroline Wanjiku Kihato, who began her life in South
Africa as a street trader, uses narratives and images
to explore the lives of women from Cameroon, the
DRC, Congo Brazzaville, Nigeria, Rwanda, Burundi,
Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe, now living
in Johannesburg. Using their stories of love, illness,
fears, children, violence, family and money, she
explores womens relationships with host and home
communities, the South African state, economy and
the city of Johannesburg.
She shows how cross-border women shape
Johannesburgs politics, regulatory systems and
local economies by exploring their uid lives against
the backdrop of a city that is also in ux. Migrant
Women of Johannesburg looks at what it means to
live in Johannesburg, yet remain dislocated there;
what it means to be in the inner city, yet aspire to live
elsewhere; and what it means to be both visible and
invisible in the city.

Through its empirical and theoretically informed
analysis, the book reshapes discussion of xenophobia

Science Fights Back

Contemporary AIDS denialism, the belief that HIV is

This conspiratorial move against HIV science, which
implies that its methods cannot be trusted, has life-
threatening consequences, as tragically demonstrated
in South Africa when the delay of antiretroviral
treatment resulted in 333,000 AIDS deaths.

Peacebuilding, Power and Politics
in Africa
Edited by Devon Curtis
and Gwinyayi A Dzinesa
Indeed, this volume deserves to become a standard
text for anyone seeking to understand peacebuilding
and conict in Africa. In all, this volume is a
must for anyone interested in developing further
understanding of security, peacebuilding and
the politics of Africa. It would make an excellent
contribution to any senior-level politics/international
relations course on the topic and promises to be
relevant well into the foreseeable future.
David J Hornsby, University of the Witwatersrand,
Johannesburg
Peacebuilding, Power and Politics in Africa exposes
the tensions and contradictions in different
clusters of peacebuilding activities, including
peace negotiations; statebuilding; security sector
governance; and disarmament, demobilisation and
reintegration. Chapters address the institutional
framework for peacebuilding in Africa and the
ideological underpinnings of key institutions.
The authors adopt a variety of approaches, but
share a conviction that peacebuilding in Africa is not a
script that is authored solely in Western capitals and
in the corridors of the United Nations. Rather, their
focus is on the interaction between local and global
ideas and practices in the reconstitution of authority
and livelihoods after conict, and the multiple ways
in which peacebuilding ideas and initiatives are
reinforced, questioned, reappropriated and re-
designed by various African actors.

In the Shadow of Policy
Everyday Practices in South Africas
Land and Agrarian Reform

In the Shadow of Policy explores the interface between
the policy of land and agrarian reform and its imple men-
tation in post-apartheid South Africa; the decisions of
policy experts and actual livelihood experiences in the
elds and homesteads of land reform projects.
Outlining the socio-historical context in which land
and agrarian reform policy has evolved, the volume
presents empirical case studies of land reform projects in
South Africa. These draw on multiple voices from various

African Local Knowledge and
Livestock Health
Diseases and Treatments in
South Africa
William Beinart and Karen Brown
By incorporating cultural, scientic, national and political
perspectives, the authors reveal the stark resource and
knowledge divide between rural and commercial sectors.
Arthur Spickett, Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute,
Pretoria
In South Africa, animal health is a central issue for
rural development, yet local African veterinary medical
knowledge remains largely unrecorded. This book
captures for the rst time the diversity and the limits of a
local knowledge.
African approaches to animal health rest largely in
environmental and nutritional explanations, and this
book explores the widespread use of plants as well as
biomedicines for healing, and challenge current ideas
on the modernisation of traditional belief systems. The
book further intimately examines homesteads of rural
black South Africans and has important implications for
analyses of local knowledge, effective state interventions
and animal treatments in South Africa.

Money from Nothing
Indebtedness and Aspiration in
South Africa
Deborah James
Credit, and its ip side, debt, emerges
as a fundamental lens to understand the
workings of both social mobility and economic
disenfranchisement, precariously inter-twined
in the New South Africa. James makes complex
theory accessible, combining it with page-turning
ethnography utterly captivating!
Dinah Rajak, Senior Lecturer in Anthropol-
ogy, University of Sussex and author of In Good
Compan y: An Anatomy of Corporate Social
Responsibility
South Africas national project of nancial
inclusion aims to extend credit to black South
Africans as a critical aspect of abolishing
apartheids legacy. Money from Nothing explores
the contradictory dynamics inherent in this
project, and captures the lived experience of
indebtedness for many millions who attempt to
improve their positions (or merely sustain existing
livelihoods) in this complex economy.
Deborah James shows the varied ways in
which access to credit is intimately bound up
with identity and status-making. The precarious
nature of aspirations of upward mobility and the
economic relations of debt which sustain people
is revealed by the shadowy side of indebtedness
and potential for new forms of oppression and
exclusion which can accompany projects of
upliftment. She reects on the apparent absurdity
of a situation where consumers borrowing is,
on the one hand, checked by being blacklisted
with the credit bureaux, yet borrowers clamour
for a credit information amnesty while lenders
continue to lend with impunity.
James concludes that the paternalism of a
system in which consumers bank accounts are
under external control intensies the advantage
to creditor principle that has long underpinned
South African consumer law.

A Long Way Home
Migrant Worker Worlds
1800-2014
Edited by Peter Delius, Laura Phillips
and Fiona Rankin-Smith
The build-up to the Marikana massacre (together
with the dismaying incidents of xenophobia)
has brought the perils of migrancy squarely into
contemporary post-apartheid South Africa. This
book displays a thoughtful and knowledgeable
understanding of the roots of the migrant labour
system; it is sorely needed.
Luli Callinicos, author of A Peoples History
of South Africa: Gold and Workers and Who
Built Jozi?
In no other society in the world have
urbanisation and industrialisation been as
comprehensively based on migrant labour as
in South Africa. Rather than focussing on the
well-documented narrative of displacement and
oppression, however, A Long Way Home captures
the humanity, agency and creative modes of self-
expression of the millions of workers who helped
to build and shape modern South Africa.
The book spans a three-hundred-year history
beginning with the exportation of slave labour
from Mozambique in the eighteenth century
and ending with the strikes and tensions on the
platinum belt in recent years. It shows not only
the age-old mobility of African migrants across
the continent but also, with the growing demand
for labour in the mining industry, the importation
of Chinese indentured migrant workers. The
essays and visual materials traverse homesteads,
chiefdoms and mining hostels in their portrayal
of migrant workers and their families attempts
to maintain contact across large distances
and uphold their rural customs, traditions and
rituals in new spaces and locations. Together,
they provide multiple perspectives on the lived
experience of migrant labourers and celebrate
their extraordinary journeys.
A Long Way Home was conceived during
the planning of an art exhibition entitled
Ngezinyawo: Migrant Journeys at Wits Art
Museum. The interdisciplinary nature of the
contributions, and the extraordinary collection of
images selected to complement and expand on
the text, make this a unique collection.

Forgotten World
The Stone Walled Settlements of
the Mpumalanga Escarpment
Peter Delius, Tim Maggs
and Alex Schoeman
The Mpumalanga Escarpment, stretching
from Ohrigstad in the north via Lydenburg and
Machadodorp to Carolina in the south, saw
massive changes in precolonial times. Still
visible today is a vast expanse of man-made
stone walling which connects over 10 000 square
kilometres of land into a complex web of circular
homesteads, towns, terraced elds and linking
roads, stretching for 150 kilometres in an almost
continuous belt. Oral traditions recorded in the
early twentieth century named the area Bokoni
the country of the Koni people.
Very few people know much about these
settlements, how and when they were created,
and why today they are deserted and largely
ignored. A long tradition of archaeological
work which might provide some of the answers
remains cloistered in universities. The ensuing
knowledge vacuum has been lled by a wide
variety of exotic explanations invoking ancient
settlers from India or even visitors from outer
space that share a common assumption that
Africans were too primitive to have created such
elaborate and complex stone structures.
In Forgotten World two leading
archaeologists and a distinguished historian
provide a rich account which dees the usual
stereotypes about backward African farming
methods. They show that these settlements
were at their peak in the period between 1500
and 1820, that they housed a substantial
population, organised vast amounts of labour
for infrastructural development, and displayed
extraordinary levels of agricultural innovation
and productivity. The inhabitants were connected
to a trading system which linked them to the
coast of Mozambique and to the wider world of
Indian Ocean Trade beyond. They straddled trade
routes, especially in metal, that connected the
mineral-rich northern reaches of South Africa
to more southerly areas. Most intriguingly,
oral traditions allow the authors to reconstruct
the epic political and economic struggles that
ultimately brought about the downfall and
abandonment of the Bokoni settlements.

responses to and participation in the South
African War and its aftermath, 1899-1907; land
acquisition; economic and political conditions
in the reserves; resistance to Mangopes
Bophuthatswana; the impact of game parks
and the Sun City resort; rural resistance and the
liberation struggle; and African reaction to the
platinum mining revolution.
Written in a direct and accessible style, and
illustrated with photographs and maps, the book
provides an understanding, for a general reader-

The Making of an Urban Region
Philip Bonner and Noor Nieftagodien
Since the discovery of gold and coal in the

of Johannesburg comprised a number of distinctive

single metropolitan area. The book suggests that
its centrality as a major mining area and then as the
countrys engineering heartland gave Ekurhuleni an
overarching distinctive economic character.

Kroonstad, Place of Thorns
Black political protest since 1976
Tshepo Moloi
Given that the most convulsive upheavals from
the mid-1970s through the 1980s and 1990s took
place in the main metropolitan areas, historians
and social scientists have tended to ignore smaller
towns. By examining Maokeng in Kroonstad, the
author reveals that the pattern of urban black
political protest and resistance in the latter half of
the twentieth century is considerably more layered
than an earlier historiography has suggested.
Hilary Sapire, University of London
Kroonstad, Place of Thorns is a landmark study
that examines the tumultuous and often fractious
politics in Kroonstads black townships. In spite
of the towns relative obscurity, the author
demonstrates a rich tradition of civic and political
life in its townships and provides a persuasive
explanation for the violence unleashed in the 1990s
after decades of relative political quiescence.
Based on scores of life history interviews, the
book illustrates a shift in the political mood from
1976 onwards. Inspired by the philosophies of
Black Consciousness and the Congress movement,
students developed a radical attitude and they
spearheaded and shaped political protests
in the townships up to the 1990s. However,
tensions between the local civic associations
and the regional and national ANC leadership
ultimately cost the ANC the rst democratic local
government elections in Kroonstad. As a work of
revisionist history, this book showcases South
Africas nuanced liberation history that unfolded in
smaller, less known places.
The book is essential reading for scholars and
students, and everyone interested in the South
African liberation history, local histories, political
mobilisation and protests.
This is the rst book in the Local Histories Series
from the Wits History Workshop, at the University
of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.

Baragwanath Hospital, Soweto
A History of Medical Care 1941 1990
Simonne Horwitz
Baragwanath Hospital, Soweto illustrates how this
rapidly growing, underfunded but surprisingly effective
institution found the niche that allowed it to provide
medical care to a massive patient body, and at times
even to ourish in the apartheid state. The book offers
new ways of exploring the history of apartheid, apartheid
medicine and health care.
Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, or Bara as its
popularly known, stands on land purchased by the
Cornish immigrant John Albert Baragwanath in the late
nineteenth century. The land was later bought by Corner
House Mining Group and taken over by Crown Mines Ltd.
but was never mined.
The British government bought the land in the early
1940s to build a military hospital but by 1947, under
the auspices of the Transvaal Provincial Administration,
a civilian hospital was opened with 480 beds. Patients
were transferred from the non-European wing of the
Johannesburg General Hospital in the white area of
Johannesburg. Links were immediately forged with the
University of the Witwatersrand and Bara would over
time become one of its largest teaching centres.

sense of that crucial contest.
Cynthia Enloe, Clark University
Daniel Conway explores the gendered dynamics of
apartheid-era South Africas militarisation and the anti-
apartheid activism of the End Conscription Campaign
(ECC). Conway draws upon a range of sources, including
interviews with white men who objected to military
service in the South African Defence Force (SADF) as
well as archival material including military intelligence
surveillance of the ECC, press reports and other pro-state
propaganda. The analysis is informed by perspectives in
sociology, international relations, history and work on
other contemporary militarised societies such as Israel
and Turkey. It further explores the interconnections
between militarisation, sexuality, race, homophobia and
political authoritarianism.

The explanation of the role and motivations of
the Cuban people, and their sense of solidarity in
such a critical episode of African history, is a great
contribution to the understanding of international
affairs and Cuban foreign policy.
Carlos Fernndez de Cosso, Ambassado r of
Cuba, Pretoria
During the nal fteen years of the Cold War,
southern Africa underwent a period of upheaval.
Americans, Cubans, Soviets and Africans
fought over the future of Angola, where tens of
thousands of Cuban soldiers were stationed,
ready to decolonise Namibia, Africas last colony.
Beyond lay the great prize: South Africa. Piero
Gleijeses uses archival sources from the United
States, South Africa and Cuba to provide an
unprecedented international history of this
important theatre of the late Cold War.
These sources all point to one conclusion: by
humiliating the United States and defying the
Soviet Union, Fidel Castro changed the course
of history in southern Africa. Cubas victory in
Angola in 1988 forced Pretoria to give Namibia
its independence and helped break the back of
apartheid South Africa. In the words of Nelson
Mandela, the Cubans destroyed the myth of
the invincibility of the white oppressor . . . [and]
inspired the ghting masses of South Africa.
Visions of Freedom is a remarkable and
sweeping history of Cubas role in assisting the
so-called Third World from the clutches of white
domination. Written with intrigue and insight, it
will appeal to scholars of international politics,
historians and the general reader interested in
southern African history.

personalities, interlaced with the role of the masses
in making history that is both enlightening and, at
times, uncomfortable or unsettling. An important
collection of voices and stories that will stand the test
of time.
Ronnie Kasrils, former government minister, author
and activist
In 2012 the African National Congress celebrated
its centenary. Using a diverse range of sources and
multiple theoretical frameworks, contributors to this
volume suggest that the relationship between earlier
struggles and the present needs to be rethought, and
must challenge hegemonic narratives of liberation
that have become an established part of the national
discourse since 1994.

Metal That Will Not Bend
The National Union of Metalworkers
of South Africa, 1980-1995
Kally Forrest
In the 1980s there was a surge of trade union power
in South Africa. Forrest traces the themes of power,
independence and workers control practised by
NUMSA. She scrutinises its strategies to signicantly
improve the conditions of impoverished workers, and
its attempts to insert a workers perspective into the
political transition of the early 1990s.

Composing Apartheid
Music For and Against Apartheid
Edited by Grant Olwage
This collection is proof of how music research opens
up vibrant new discourses in meaningful ways. For this
reason Composing Apartheid: Music For and Against
Apart heid ought to be part of all music courses involved
in interdisciplinary research into culture, history,
and politics.
Stan Hawkins (in Journal of the Musical Arts in Africa)
University of Oslo
Composing Apartheid charts the musical world in
apartheid-era South Africa. It explores how music
was produced through key features of the social and
political topography as well as how music and musicians
contested apartheid.
The volume examines the politics of race, idiom,
presentation through a range of musical styles and
formats including jazz, choralism, Western classical and
broadly, anti-apartheid musicians. The book includes
contributions from Lara Allen, Gary Baines, Ingrid Byerly,
Christopher Cockburn, David Coplan, Benntta Jules-
Rosette, Michael Drewitt, Shirli Gilbert, Christine Lucia,
Carol A. Muller, Stephanus Muller, Brett Pyper and
Martin Scherzinger.
The writers move well beyond their subject matter
intervening in debates on race, historiography and
postcolonial epistemologies and pedagogies.

Sonic Spaces of the Karoo
The Sacred Music of a South African
Coloured Community
Marie Jorritsma
A signicant contribution not only to South African music
studies but also to African studies generally and gender
and identity studies.
Christine Lucia, University of the Witwatersrand,
Johannesburg
Sonic Spaces of the Karoo is a pioneering study of
the sacred music of three coloured peoples church
congregations in the rural town of Graaff-Reinet.
Jorritsmas eldwork involves an investigation of the
choruses, choir music and hymns of the Karoo region to
present a history of the peoples traditional, religious and
cultural identity in song. This music is examined as part
of a living archive preserved by the community in the face
of a legacy of slavery, colonial and apartheid oppression.
Jorritsmas ndings counteract a lingering stereotype
that coloured music is inferior to European or African
music and that coloured people should not or do not
have a cultural identity. Sonic Spaces of the Karoo seeks
to eradicate that bias and articulate a more legitimate
place for these people in the contemporary landscape of
South Africa.

Percival R Kirby
With a Foreword by Michael Nixon
This text has great historical value and constitutes
a kind of baseline for research into southern
Africas musics. Riches abound in the text, which
are not negated by dated theory and language.
Michael Nixon, South African College of Music,
University of Cape Town
Between 1923 and 1933 Percival Kirby undertook
a comprehensive study of the musical practices
of the indigenous people of southern Africa.
Supported by several study grants, he travelled
thousands of miles in his ancient Model T Ford
to places like Pietersburg and Potgietersrus, to
the area then known as Sekhukhuneland, and to
Swaziland and Botswana. He was taught by local
chiefs to play the instruments he encountered
and managed to purchase many of them. These
formed the basis of the Kirby Collection, which is
housed at the South African College of Music.
Musical Instruments of the Native Races of
South Africa, rst published in 1934, became

Elephant Management
A Scientic Assessment for
South Africa
Edited by R. J. Scholes and K. G. Mennell
Elephants are among the most magnicent but also
most problematic members of South Africas wildlife
population. While they are sought after by tourists,
they also have a major impact on their environment.
As a result, elephant management has become a
highly complex and often controversial discipline. The
South African Minister for Environmental Affairs and
Tourism convened a round table, which recommended
that a scientic assessment of elephant management
be undertaken to gather, evaluate and present all the
relevant information on the topic. Its main ndings and
recommendations are contained in this volume. Elephant
Management is the rst book of its kind, combining
the work of more than 60 national and international
experts. Extensively reviewed by policy-makers and
other stakeholders, it is the most systematic and
comprehensive review of savannah elephant populations
and factors relevant to managing them to date.

Bats of Southern and Central Africa
A Biogeographic and Taxonomic
Synthesis
Ara Monadjem, Peter John Taylor, F. P. D.
(Woody) Cotterill and M. Corrie Schoeman
This full colour book includes chapters on the evolution,
biogeography, ecology and echolocation of bats, and
provides accounts for the 116 bat species known to
occur in southern and central Africa. The identication
of families, genera and species is aided by character
matrices. The species accounts provide descriptions,
measurements and diagnostic characters, as well as
detailed information on the distribution, habitat, roosting
habits, foraging ecology, and reproduction of each
species. Photographs of the bats, including their skulls
and dentition, and accurate time-expanded echolocation
call spectrograms illustrate the accounts. Species
distribution maps are based on the recorded localities
of 6000 museum specimens. A comprehensive appendix
lists the accession number, locality and co-ordinates of
every specimen represented on the distribution maps.

Parrots are ancient birds with unique bill and foot
structures that enable them to forage on fruits in
the canopy of forest trees as well as on seeds in
grasslands. There are over three hundred species,
of which more than one hundred are recognised
as rare, endangered, vulnerable or threatened
with extinction.
Parrots are largely distributed in tropical
areas of developing countries where there is
great dependence on the exploitation of natural
resources, particularly hard wood evergreen
forests, which are preferred parrot habitats.
Unfortunately, high levels of corruption and illegal
trade in animals are common, and collectors in
the rst world pay huge sums for rare parrots.
However, research, education and conservation
actions are greatly reducing illegal trade in
Africa n parrots.
Parrots of Africa, Madagascar and the
Mascarene Islands provides complete coverage
of all aspects of the biology of extant African,
Malagasy and Mascarene parrots, and reviews
our knowledge of extinct and fossil parrots
from the region. It includes the behavioural and
ecological characteristics of parrots, their species
characteristics and current concepts in avian and
conservation biology. The book is richly illustrated
with high quality original photographs, and
includes distribution maps, gures and tables.
The book will appeal to ornithologists, con-
servation biologists, avian ecologists, researchers
and the informed public.

Termites of the Gods
San Life and Cosmology
Siyakha Mguni
This book has the potential to change the public
perception of San rock art as a relatively trivial
pastime and replace it with convincing evidence
that many images and themes are in fact based on
sophisticated religious symbolism that permeated
all aspects of San life over thousands of years.
Jeanette Deacon, author of Human Beginnings
in South Africa: Uncovering the Secrets of the
Stone Age
This beautifully produced book narrates a
personal journey of the author, over several
years, to discover the signicance of a hitherto
enigmatic theme in San rock paintings known as
formlings. Formlings are a pan-southern African
painting category found in South Africa, Namibia
and Zimbabwe with its densest concentration
in the Matopo Hills, Zimbabwe. Generations of
archaeologists and anthropologists have wrestled
with this theme without reaching consensus
or a plausible explanation as to its meaning in
San cosmology. Drawing on San ethnography
published over the past 150 years, Siyakha Mguni
argues that formlings are, in fact, representations
of ying termites and their underground nests,
and are associated with a range of larger animals
considered by the San to have great potency and
spiritual signicance.
Termites of the Gods lls a lacuna in rock art
studies around the interpretation and meaning
of these formlings. It offers an innovative
methodological approach for understanding
subject matter in San rock art that is not easily
recognisable and will be an invaluable reference
book to students and scholars in rock art studies
and archaeology. Richly illustrated and written in
an accessible and pleasing style, general readers
and rock art enthusiasts will also nd this a
fascinating read.

Visual Century is encyclopaedic in scope.
Janet Stanley, Smithsonian Institution Libraries,
National Museum of African Art
Visual Century is an ambitious four-volume
publication that reappraises South African
visual art of the twentieth century from a
post-apartheid perspective. Wide-ranging
and in-depth essays by over 30 contributors,
including many of South Africas leading art
historians, cultural commentators and artists,
make it an indispensable resource for curators,
historians, students and artists. Lavish full
colour illustrations, often of rare or seldom seen
artworks, make this collection a treasure for all art
lovers with an interest in South African art.
Given the need to construct a national archive,
this work is a stellar example of what local
research can achieve as we tell our own stories,
especially against the broader movement for a
more inclusive international art history that rec-
ognises and celebrates the contributions made
in South Africa. The project was funded by the
National Department of Arts and Culture under
Pallo Jordan, and brings together a wide range of
local writers and perspectives.

Penny Siopis
Time and Again
Edited by Gerrit Olivier
Hers is a restless imagination played out in
a daunting, experimental productivity and a
willingness to surprise even herself. As we look
back, the patterns of her creative acts become
more legible, allowing us to see more easily the
internal coherence of her body of work and the
idiosyncratic logic of its unfolding.
Colin Richards, 2005
With her earliest work, Penny Siopis established
herself as one of the most prominent and
challenging visual artists in and beyond South
Africa. It traces Siopiss development from
her famous early cake paintings to the history
paintings, the installations, video work and her
exuberant experiments with ink and glue. Edited
by Gerrit Olivier, this collection of essays and
interviews contextualises her major contribution
to the visual arts by considering her work
through various prisms. In an extensive interview
with Gerrit Olivier, Siopis comments on how her
abiding engagement with social concerns has
always been combined with an interest in form
and process. This book will be an invaluable
source to those interested in the trajectory and
development of Siopiss artistic career. With
contributions from leading art and cultural
commentators, the book provides invaluable
insight as to her position as one of the leading
South African artists of the 21st century. It
climaxes with a riveting conversation between
William Kentridge and Siopis on the trajectory
of their own work and South African art over the
past thirty years.
The publication of Penny Siopis coincides
with a retrospective exhibition of her work at the
Iziko South African National Gallery in Cape Town
in December 2014 and the Wits Art Museum in
Johannesburg in 2015.

Picturing Change
Curating Visual Culture at
Post-Apartheid Universities
Brenda Schmahmann
Since South Africas transition to democracy,
many universities have acquired new works of
art that engage critically with histories of racial
intolerance. Universities are seeking new ways
to manage their existing art collections, and have
introduced memorials, insignia or regalia that reect
their newfound values and aspirations. Brenda
Schmahmann explores the implications of deploying
the visual domain in the service of transformative
agendas and unpacks the complexities,
contradictions and slippages involved in this process.
Brenda Schmahmann is Professor in the Faculty
of Art, Design and Architecture at the University
of Johannesburg. Editor of Material Matters, she
is also the author of Through the Looking Glass:

Impossible Mourning
HIV / AIDS and Visuality
after Apartheid
Kylie Thomas
Impossible Mourning argues that while the HIV/
AIDS epidemic has occupied an important place in
public discourse in South Africa over the last ten
years, particularly in debates about governance
and constitutional rights post-apartheid, the
experiences of people living with HIV for the most
part remain invisible and the multiple losses
due to AIDS have gone publicly unmourned. This
profound fact is at the centre of this book which
explores the signicance of the disavowal of AIDS-
death in relation to violence, death, and mourning
under apartheid. Impossible Mourning shows
how, in spite of the magnitude of the epidemic,
and as a result of the stigma and discrimination
that have largely characterised both national and
personal responses to the epidemic, spaces for the
expression of collective mourning have been few.
This book engages with multiple forms of
visual representation that work variously to
compound, undo, and complicate the politics
of loss. Drawing on work the author did in art
and narrative support groups while working
with people living with HIV/AIDS in Khayelitsha
outside Cape Town, this book also includes
analyses of the work of South African visual artists
and photographers Jane Alexander, Gille de Vlieg,
Jillian Edelstein, Pieter Hugo, Ezrom Legae, Gideon
Mendel, Zanele Muholi, Sam Nhlengethwa, Paul
Stopforth and Diane Victor.

Lover of His People
A biography of Sol Plaatje
Seetsele Modiri Molema
Translated by D.S. Matjila and Karen Haire
This rst ever biography of Solomon Plaatje was written
and published in Setswana. The manuscript was archived
in the Wits Historical Papers and accessible only to
scholars, until this English translation made the work
accessible to a wider audience.
Molema balances Plaatjes public and political
persona as a pioneer black politician and man of
letters with an intimate account of Plaatje: his features,
habits, temperament, talents, personality and character.
Molema illuminates the spirit of Plaatje, painting a
personal portrait of this leading gure and his impact on
South Africas political and cultural landscape.
In a preface the translators elaborate on the value
of Molemas text within the broader South African
historiography. Recognising that Molema was an
extraordinary scholar, intellectual and politician in his
own right, the book includes an essay on his life and
contribution to South Africas black intellectual heritage.
Seetsele Modiri Molema (1891-1965) was a surgeon
by profession, studying at the University of Glasgow,
Scotland. He lived in Dublin from 1919, where he wrote
and published the landmark history, Bantu Past and
Present: An Ethnographic and History Study of the
Native Races of South Africa (1920). He returned to
Makeng later where he practised medicine.

Richard Rive
A partial biography
Shaun Viljoen
The most compelling biography of a South African writer
that I have read.
Michael Titlestad, University of the Witwatersrand,
Johannesburg
Carefully and nely crafted, Viljoens story of the
storyteller is a moving, moveable feast to be savoured .
Chris van Wyk, South African novelist and poet
This biography invites us to think anew about how we
read writers who lived and worked during the years of
apartheid. Richard Moore Rive (1930-1989) was a writer,
scholar, literary critic and college teacher in Cape Town,
best known for his short stories and his second novel,
Buckingham Palace, District Six.
In this biography Shaun Viljoen reveals the qualities
of a man who was committed to the ideals of non-
racialism, but who was also described as irascible,
pompous and arrogant. Beneath the public personae
lurked Rives troubled awareness of his dark skin colour
and a guardedness about his homosexuality.
Viljoen follows Rive from his early years, writing
for Drum magazine and spending time with anti-
establishment writers such as Jack Cope, Ingrid Jonker,
Jan Rabie, Marjorie Wallace, Eskia Mphahlele and Nadine
Gordimer, to his acceptance at Magdalene College,
Oxford, where he completed his doctorate on Olive
Schreiner before returning to South Africa to resume his
position as senior lecturer at Hewat College of Education.
Shaun Viljoen is Associate Professor in the English
department at Stellenbosch University, South Africa.

Radio has been called Africas medium. Its wide
accessibility sets it apart from other media platforms
in facilitating political debate, shaping identities and
assisting listeners as they negotiate the challenges of
everyday life on the continent.
Radio in Africa brings together essays on the
multiple roles of radio in Anglophone, Lusophone and
Francophone Africa and looks at topics such as the
history of radio and its part in the culture and politics
of countries; how radio throws up new tensions while
endorsing social innovation; radios current role in
creating listening communities that radically shift the
nature of the public sphere; and its central role in the
emergence of informed publics in fragile national spaces.

MEDIA STUDIES
Fight for Democracy
The African National Congress and
the Media in South Africa
Glenda Daniels
This book highlights the need for critical and reexive
analysis of power relations between media and govern-
ment; its overt advocacy makes for compelling reading.
Nathalie Hyde-Clarke, University of Johannesburg
Fight for Democracy is a critical scrutiny of the ANCs
treatment of the print media since the inception of
democracy in 1994. It makes a passionate argument
for the view that newspapers and journalists play a
signicant role in the deepening of democratic principles.
Glenda Daniels asks why the ANC, given its stated
commitment to the democratic objectives of the
Constitution, is so ambivalent about the freedom of the
media. She examines the pattern of paranoia that has
crept into public discourse about the media and the ANC,
and the conictual relationship between the two. She
challenges the dominant ANC view that journalists are
against transformation and that they take instruction
from the owners of the media houses; in short that they
are enemies of the people.
Fight for Democracy is a timely publication in the
con text of the twin threats of the Protection of State Infor-
mation Bill (Secrecy Bill) and the Media Appeals Tribunal.
Glenda Daniels has been a journalist in South Africa for
over twenty years, and was advocacy co-ordinator at Ama-
bhungane (M&G Centre for Investigative Jour nalism). She
served within the Right2Know leadership structures.

Academic Freedom in a Democratic
South Africa
Essays and Interviews on Higher
Education and the Humanities
Preface by J.M. Coetzee
John Higgins
This book attempts to analyse the relevance of
academic freedom in the face of the managerial and
ideological pressures which are reconguring higher
education institutions. The role the humanities, and
the analysis that they allow, have a crucial role to play
and Higgins argues that the principle of supporting and
extending open intellectual enquiry is essential to an
understanding of the value of higher education.
The book examines the troubled history of academic
freedom in South Africa and questions received ideas of
institutional culture and managerial authority. Including
a series of interviews with three key gures from the
critical humanities: Terry Eagleton, Edward W Said and
Jakes Gerwel, who present a consideration of the
most recent challenges facing academic freedom and
the humanities.
John Higgins is Professor and Fellow of English at the
University of Cape Town, South Africa. His monograph
Raymond Williams: Literature, Marxism and Cultural
Materialism won both the Altron National Book Award

Accented Futures
Language Activism and
the Ending of Apartheid
Carli Coetzee
In this wonderfully original, intensely personal yet
deeply analytical work, Carli Coetzee argues that
difference and disagreement can be forms of activism
to bring about social change, inside and outside the
teaching environment. Since it is not the student alone
who needs to be transformed, she proposes a model of
teaching that is insistent on the teachers scholarship
as a tool for hearing the many voices and accents in the
South African classroom.
For Coetzee, accentedness is a description for
actively working towards the ending of apartheid by
being aware of the legacies of the past, without
attempting to empty out or gloss over the conicts and
violence that may exist under the surface. In the broad
context of education, accent can be an accent of speech;
an attitude; a stance against being understood; yet a
way of teaching that requires teacher and pupil to
understand each others contexts. This is a book about
the relationships created by the use of language to
convey knowledge, particularly in translation. The
ideas it presents are evocative, thought provoking
and challenging.

University of London, Honorary Research Fellow at the
University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg and
Associate Academic at HUMA, University of Cape Town.

The Disorder of Things
A Foucauldian Approach to
the Work of Nuruddin Farah
John Masterson
The Disorder of Things is an impressive and accomplished
work which reads Foucault to illuminate Farah in a wide-
ranging study of his writing. Mastersons text engages
persuasively with Farahs valorisation of doubt and
scepticism over dogma and self-righteousness.
Abdulrazak Gurnah, University of Kent
Nuruddin Farah is widely regarded as one of the most
sophisticated voices in contemporary world literature.
Michel Foucault is revered as one of the most important
thinkers of the twentieth century, with his discursive
legacy providing inspiration for scholars working in a
range of interdisciplinary elds.
The Disorder of Things offers a reading of the Somali
novelist through the prism of the French philosopher.
The book argues that the preoccupations that have
remained central throughout Farahs forty year career,
including political autocracy, female inbulation, border
conicts, international aid and development, civil war,
transnational migration and the Horn of Africas place in
a so-called axis of evil, can be mapped onto some key
concerns in Foucaults writing, most notably Foucaults
theoretical turn from disciplinary to biopolitical power.

Shakespeare and the Coconuts
On Post-apartheid
South African Culture
Natasha Distiller
Natasha Distiller, of all scholars working on Shakespeare
and South Africa, asks the most interesting questions.
Andrew van der Vlies, Queen Mary, University
of London
Natasha Distiller explores historic and contemporary uses
of Shakespeare in South African society which illustrate
the complexities of colonial and post-colonial realities in
relation to iconic Englishness. Beginning with Solomon
Plaatje, Distiller looks at the development of an elite
group educated in English and able to use Shakespeare
to formulate South African works and identities.
Refusing simple or easy answers, she then explores
the South African Shakespearian tradition post-
apartheid. Touching on the work of, amongst others, Can
Themba, Bloke Modisane, Antony Sher, Stephen Francis,
Rico Schacherl and Kopano Matlwa, and including the
popular media as well as school textbooks, Shakespeare
and the Coconuts engages with aspects of South Africas
complicated, painful, fascinating political and cultural
worlds, and their intersections.
Natasha Distiller is a writer and academic currently based
in Berkeley, California. She was Associate Professor of
English and Chief Research Ofcer at the Institute for the
Humanities in Africa (HUMA) at the University of Cape
Town. Her previously published books include Fixing

Print, Text and Book Cultures
in South Africa
Edited by Andrew van der Vlies
a eld-dening contribution to the countrys literary
scholarship
David Attwell, York University
This book explores the power of print and the politics of
the book in South Africa from historical, bibliographic,
literary-critical, sociological, and cultural studies per-
spectives. These essays by leading international scholars
address, amongst others, the role of print cultures in the
colonial public sphere in the 19th century; orthography;
iimbongi, orature and the canon; book-collecting and
libraries; print and transnationalism; Indian Ocean
cosmopolitanisms; books in war; how the fates of South
African texts, locally and globally, have been affected
by their material instantiations; photocomics and other
ephemera; censorship, during and after apartheid; books
about art and books as art; academic publishing in South
Africa; and the challenge of book history for literary and
cultural criticism in contemporary South Africa.

African-Language Literatures
Perspectives on IsiZulu Fiction and
Popular Black Television Series
Innocentia Jabulisile Mhlambi
Innocentia Mhlambis work constitutes a major
intervention in the eld of African-language literature.
Isabel Hofmeyr, Centre for Indian Studies in Africa,
University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg
Existing modes of criticism in the study of this literary
tradition are often unsuited to a nuanced understanding
of the aspects at play in the composition, production
and reading of these literatures. This volume charts new
directions in the study of African-language literatures
generally, and isiZulu ction in particular, by considering
African popular arts and culture as a model in current
debates about expressive forms in African languages. This
approach brings into focus oral and written forms, the
local and the international and elitist and popular genres.
Mhlambi places the resultant emerging, eclectic culture
in its socio-historical context. This theoretical approach
is then deployed to explore what matters to and is of
interest to the audience. Mhlambi contends that, contrary
to common perception, the African-language literary
tradition displays diversity, complexity and uidity.
Innocentia Jabulisile Mhlambi is Senior Lecturer
and Head of Department of African Languages at the
African-Language Literatures is the recipient of the
University of the Witwatersrands 2010 University
Research Committee (URC) publication award.

Entanglement
Literary and Cultural Reections
on Post-apartheid
Sarah Nuttall
Entanglement explores mutuality, transgression and
embodiment in contemporary South Africa examining
the contradictory mixture of innovation and
inertia, experimentation and desegregation, which
characterises post-apartheid South African literature,
new media forms and painting. The book charts the
shift from a persistent apartheid optic in order to
elicit ways of imagining that are being formulated
with a future-oriented politics in mind.

Africa Writes Back
The African Writers Series and
the Launch of African Literature
James Currey
The African Writers Series was established in 1962
and led to a resurgence of interest in African literary
creativity by publishing more than 300 works over
the next twenty years. The availability of these books
made it possible for the international development
of courses on African literature, and in Africa led to a
profound transformation of English literature curricula.
James Currey was the Editorial Director at Heinemann
Educational Books in charge of the African Writers
Series from 1967 to 1984.

Somewhere on the Border
Anthony Akerman
Somewhere on the Border was written by Anthony
Akerman while in exile more than two decades ago.
This publication of a one-act version of the play
brings the Border War back into public discourse and
pierces through the armour of silence, secrecy and
shame that still surrounds it.
Anthony Akerman has since written several
award-winning plays and also writes for radio
and television. Dark Outsider: Three Plays (Wits
University Press) won the SACPAC Drama Prize and
earned its author the 1995/96 Vita Playwright of the
Year Award.

Our Lady of Benoni
Zakes Mda
Introduction by Sarah Roberts
Zakes Mdas satire displays the extremes to which
men (and women) are prepared to go in valuing the
virginal. He presents us with the consequences of
transgression: that which is judged to be dangerous
to the good health and purity of a group, a society,
a culture.
Zakes Mda is a South African writer, painter and
music composer. He has published nineteen books
and works as a Professor of Creative Writing at Ohio
University, a beekeeper in the Eastern Cape, and as
Director of the Southern African Multimedia AIDS
Trust in Sophiatown, Johannesburg.
Nothing but the Truth
John Kani
Nothing but the Truth is the story of two brothers, of
exile, memory and reconciliation, and the ambiguities
of freedom. Nothing but the Truth won the 2003 Fleur
du Cap Award for best actor and best new South
African play. The play was selected by the South
African National Department of Education for study in
Grade 12.
John Kani co-wrote famous plays such as The Island
with Athol Fugard and Winston Ntshona. Nothing but
the Truth marks his debut as sole playwright.

S. E. K. Mqhayi (1875-1945) is one of the greatest gures in

For nearly a decade Nontsizi Mgqwetho contributed poetry
to a Johannesburg newspaper, Umteteli wa Bantu. The
poems were published between 1924 and 1929, after which,
Mgqwetho disappeared from public life. The poetry she left
immediately claims for her the status of one of the greatest
literary artists ever to write in isiXhosa. The Nations Bounty
contains the original poems alongside English translations.

English-isiZulu /
isiZulu-English Dictionary
Fourth Edition with revised orthography
Compiled by C.M. Doke, D.M. Malcolm,
J.M.A. Sikakana and B.W. Vilakazii
This is the Fourth Edition of the rst English and isiZulu
dictionary published in South Africa, undertaken in the
1940s by Wits University lecturers C.M. Doke and B.W.
Vilakazi. Vilakazi was the rst published poet writing in
isiZulu and his collection, AmaleZulu, is considered one of
the most signicant African books of the twentieth century.
The English-Zulu Dictionary (Doke, Malcom and
Sikakana ) was published in 1958 as a companion to the
Zulu-English Dictionary (rst published 1948; Second
Edition 1953). These two diction aries have long been
recognised as the standard works in their eld. The rst
combined edition was published in 1990 and has been in
print continuously since then.
Various revisions were undertaken over the years. A new
preface, written by Professor Mzilikazi Khumalo, was added
in 1990 and provides an update to the phono logical tone
markings originally indicated by Vilakazi.
A newly revised isiZulu orthography has been intro-
duced in this Fourth Edition in line with the approved 2008
Pan South African Language Board (PanSALB) orth o graphy.
Also included are the historical prefaces and introduction,
which reect the development of the dictionary.
This dictionary provides an invaluable resource for
students of isiZulu, for isiZulu-speaking students of English,
and for linguists working in the isiZulu language.
C. M. Doke was a linguist and Wits University lecturer.
D. M. Malcolm was a linguist and so was J. M. A. Sikakana.
B. W. Vilakazi was a South African poet, novelist and Wits
University lecturer.

Adaptive Herbivore Ecology
Student Edition From Resources to

Norman Owen-Smith
The book links the principles of adaptive behaviour
to the consequences for population dynamics and
community ecology, through the application of a
metaphysiological modelling approach. The main focus
is on large mammalian herbivores occupying seasonally
variable environments such as those characterised by
African savannahs, but applications to temperate zone
ungulates are also included. Issues of habitat suitability
are similarly investigated.
