Pathways across Cultures: Intercultural Communication in South Africa is a uniquely South African communication textbook. Local examples of communication methods from a wide range of cultural groups are used to explain theories of communication and complex intercultural concepts. It covers some of the rich cultural histories of the rainbow nation, such as Khoisan cave drawings, highlighting the intercultural communication styles of the early peoples who lived in South Africa. The book also includes critical commentary on western theories and approaches to studying intercultural communication.
With a view to decolonising how intercultural communication is taught in South Africa, where possible the chapters in this book have been co-authored with emerging scholars. This approach provided mentoring opportunities for emerging scholars to develop case studies. As a result, this book has a wide-ranging perspective on intercultural communication that is representative of South Africa’s own cultural diversity.
In Everything Ancient Was Once New, Emalani Case explores
Indigenous persistence through the concept of Kahiki, a term that
is at once both an ancestral homeland for Kanaka Maoli (Hawaiians)
and the knowledge that there is life to be found beyond Hawai'i's
shores. It is therefore both a symbol of ancestral connection and
the potential that comes with remembering and acting upon that
connection. Tracing physical, historical, intellectual, and
spiritual journeys to and from Kahiki, Emalani frames it as a place
of refuge and sanctuary, a place where ancient knowledge can
constantly be made anew. It is in Kahiki, she argues, and in the
sanctuary it creates, that today's Kanaka Maoli can find safety and
reprieve from the continued onslaught of settler colonial violence,
while also confronting some of the often uncomfortable and
challenging realities of being Indigenous in Hawai'i, in the
Pacific, and in the world. Each chapter of the book engages with
Kahiki as a shifting term, employed by Kanaka Maoli to explain
their lives and experiences to themselves at different points in
history. In doing so, Everything Ancient Was Once New proposes and
argues for reactivated and reinvigorated engagements with Kahiki,
each supporting ongoing work aimed at decolonizing physical and
ideological spaces, and reconnecting Kanaka Maoli to other peoples
and places in the Pacific region and beyond in ways that are both
purposeful and meaningful. In the book, Kahiki is therefore traced
through pivotal moments in history and critical moments in
contemporary times, explaining that while not always mentioned by
name, the idea of Kahiki was, and is, always full of potential. In
writing that is both personal and theoretical, Emalani weaves the
past and the present together, reflecting on ancient concepts and
their continued relevance in movements to protect lands, waters,
and oceans; to fight for social justice; to reexamine our
responsibilities and obligations to each other across the Pacific
region; and to open space for continued dialogue on what it means
to be Indigenous both when at home and when away. Combining
personal narrative and reflection with research and critical
analysis, Everything Ancient Was Once New journeys to and from
Kahiki, the sanctuary for reflection, deep learning, and continued
dreaming with the past, in the present, and far into the future.
Although Native Americans have been subjugated by every American
government since The Founding, they have persevered and, in some
cases, thrived. What explains the existence of separate,
semi-sovereign nations within the larger American nation? In large
part it has been victories won at the Supreme Court that have
preserved the opportunity for Native Americans to 'make their own
laws and be ruled by them.' The Supreme Court could have gone
further, creating truly sovereign nations with whom the United
States could have negotiated on an equal basis. The Supreme Court
could also have done away with tribes and tribalism with the stroke
of a pen. Instead, the Court set a compromise course, declaring
tribes not fully sovereign but also something far more than a mere
social club. This book describes several of the most famous Supreme
Court cases impacting the course of Native American history. The
author provides an analysis of canonical American Indian Law cases
with historical and legal context and brings a fresh perspective to
the issues. Law students, policy makers and judges looking for an
introduction to American Indian Law will gain an understanding of
this complicated history. This exploration will also appeal to
academics interested in a new perspective on old and current cases.

Die Herero-opstand 19041907 is n heruitgawe van n boek wat ses
keer tussen 1976 en 1979 deur HAUM gepubliseer is. Die lotgevalle
van die Hererovolk word in hierdie boek geskets, n stuk
geskiedenis wat n sentrale plek in Namibie se kleurryke
geskiedenis beklee. Die opstand van die Hereros in 1904 teen
Duitse koloniale gesag kan beskou word as die enkele gebeurtenis
wat die gebied se volksverhoudinge die ingrypendste verander het.
Die Herero-opstand 19041907 vertel van die geleidelike opbou na
die konflik, die skielike uitbarsting van geweld en die tragiese
afloop vir die Hereros toe duisende verhonger het en hulle grond
en politieke seggenskap verloor het.

There are ongoing debates on the concepts surrounding the roles of
Indigenous people in transforming the entrepreneurial landscape to
promote socio-economic development. Arguably, the culture and ways
of our lives, in the context of entrepreneurship, have a role in
influencing social economic development. The ideals between the
entrepreneurial practice of Indigenous people and their culture are
somewhat commensal towards sustainable growth and development. The
practice of Indigenous and cultural entrepreneurship is embedded in
historical findings. Context, Policy, and Practices in Indigenous
and Cultural Entrepreneurship provides insights into the policy,
culture, and practice that influence the impact of local and
Indigenous entrepreneurs within communities which transcends to
socio-economic development. This is critical as the knowledge
gained from our entrepreneurial diversity can provide a platform to
reduce social ills as a result of unemployment and give a sense of
belonging within the social context. Covering key topics such as
government policy, entrepreneurial education, information
technology, and trade, this premier reference source is ideal for
policymakers, entrepreneurs, business owners, managers, scholars,
researchers, academicians, instructors, and students.
Pervasive myths of European domination and indigenous submission in
the Americas receive an overdue corrective in this far-reaching
revisionary work. Despite initial upheavals caused by the European
intrusion, Native people often thrived after contact, preserving
their sovereignty, territory, and culture and shaping indigenous
borderlands across the hemisphere. Borderlands, in this context,
are spaces where diverse populations interact, cross-cultural
exchanges are frequent and consequential, and no polity or
community holds dominion. Within the indigenous borderlands of the
Americas, as this volume shows, Native peoples exercised
considerable power, often retaining control of the land, and
remaining paramount agents of historical transformation after the
European incursion. Conversely, European conquest and colonialism
were typically slow and incomplete, as the newcomers struggled to
assert their authority and implement policies designed to subjugate
Native societies and change their beliefs and practices. Indigenous
Borderlands covers a wide chronological and geographical span, from
the sixteenth-century U.S. South to twentieth-century Bolivia, and
gathers leading scholars from the United States and Latin America.
Drawing on previously untapped or underutilized primary sources,
the original essays in this volume document the resilience and
relative success of indigenous communities commonly and wrongly
thought to have been subordinated by colonial forces, or even
vanished, as well as the persistence of indigenous borderlands
within territories claimed by people of European descent. Indeed,
numerous indigenous groups remain culturally distinct and
politically autonomous. Hemispheric in its scope, unique in its
approach, this work significantly recasts our understanding of the
important roles played by Native agents in constructing indigenous
borderlands in the era of European imperialism. Chapters 5, 6, 8,
and 9 are published with generous support from the Americas
Research Network.
In 1988 Virginia Fabella from the Philippines and Mercy Amba
Oduyoye from Ghana coedited With Passion and Compassion: Third
world Women Doing Theology, based on the work of the Women's
Commission of the Ecumenical Association of Third World Theologians
(EATWOT). The book has been widely used as an important resource
for understanding women's liberation theologies, in Africa, Asia,
and Latin America emerging out of women's struggles for justice in
church and society. More than twenty years have passed and it is
time to bring out a new collection of essays to signal newer
developments and to include emerging voices.
Divided into four partsContext and Theology; Scripture;
Christology; and Body, Sexuality, and Spiritualitythese carefully
selected essays paint a vivid picture of theological developments
among indigenous women and other women living in the global South
who face poverty, violence, and war and yet find abundant hope
through their faith.

chapter in the history of the American West' JOHN GRISHAM From the
bestselling author of The Lost City of Z, now a major film starring
Charlie Hunnam, Sienna Miller and Robert Pattison, comes a
true-life murder story which became one of the FBI's first major
homicide investigations. In the 1920s, the richest people per
capita in the world were members of the Osage Indian nation in
Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, they rode in
chauffeured automobiles, built mansions and sent their children to
study in Europe. Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed
off. As the death toll climbed, the FBI took up the case. But the
bureau badly bungled the investigation. In desperation, its young
director, J. Edgar Hoover, turned to a former Texas Ranger named
Tom White to unravel the mystery. Together with the Osage he and
his undercover team began to expose one of the most chilling
conspiracies in American history. 'David Grann has a razor-keen
instinct for suspense' LOUISE ERDRICH
In the final years of the seventeenth century, Richard Traunter-an
experienced Indian trader fluent in three Indigenous languages-made
a number of trips into the interior of Virginia and the Carolina
colonies, keeping a record of his travels and the people he
encountered. This primary-source edition of Traunter's account
makes his crucial text, held in private collections for more than
three hundred years, widely available for the first time.
Traunter's journals shed light on colonial society, Indigenous
cultures, and evolving politics, offering a precious glimpse into a
world in dramatic transition. He describes rarely referenced Native
peoples, details diplomatic efforts, and relates the dreadful
impact of a smallpox epidemic then raging through the region. In
concert with Eno Will, the head man at Ajusher who accompanied
Traunter on both treks, Traunter also helped establish trade pacts
with eight Indigenous nations. Part natural history, part adventure
tale, all expertly contextualized by Sandra Dahlberg, Traunter's
narrative provides a unique vantage point through which to view one
of the most important periods in the colonial South and represents
an invaluable resource for students and specialists alike.
