Print Culture in Southern Africa is concerned with the institutions
and processes informing textual production, circulation and
consumption in the region, over a broad historical period from the
late 18th century to the present day. The book is organised around
three closely related themes. Firstly, it presents original
research into the formation of reading publics and the impact of
reading cultures, by uncovering obscure but important reading
communities and circuits of book distribution and reception. A
second theme is the relationship between print and politics, with a
particular focus on the networks of power: how control over the
production and circulation of printed books has shaped literary and
cultural development. The third theme is transnational print
culture, and how the control exercised by publishers in Europe and
America has shaped literature and society in southern Africa.
Drawing together interdisciplinary research and diverse
methodologies, the collection encompasses a range of perspectives,
including literary studies, anthropology, publishing studies, the
history of the book and art history, and many of the chapters are
based on previously unexamined archives and collections. The volume
contributes to current debates and opens up new and exciting ways
of furthering the study of postcolonial literature and African book
history. The chapters included in this book were originally
published in the Journal of Southern African Studies.

The assumption that there is a significant connection between
normal psychological and biological differences and the development
of psychological disorders has grown in recent years and research
in this area has developed rapidly. Written by psychologists with
expertise in both the areas of abnormal and differential
psychology, this textbook aims to integrate evidence and ideas from
healthy personality and temperament on the one hand and
psychological disorders on the other. This is achieved by viewing
personality traits as predispositions to disorder, and by
questioning how far the causes of various disorders can be seen as
an extension or exaggeration of processes underlying normal
personality or temperament. These main themes are discussed using a
biological perspective, based on the theory that personality can be
deconstructed into a number of basic dimensions (of biological
origin) that also act as vulnerability factors for disorder. This
is a second level textbook for undergraduate students of
psychology, but it can also be used by health professionals and
their trainees, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists and nurses.

During the period of decolonisation in Africa, the CIA covertly
subsidised a number of African authors, editors and publishers as
part of its anti-communist propaganda strategy. Managed by two
front organisations, the Congress of Cultural Freedom and the
Farfield Foundation, its Africa programme stretched across the
continent. This Element unravels the hidden networks and
associations underpinning African literary publishing in the 1960s;
it evaluates the success of the CIA in secretly infiltrating and
influencing African literary magazines and publishing firms, and
examines the extent to which new circuits of cultural and literary
power emerged. Based on new archival evidence relating to the
Transcription Centre, The Classic and The New African, it includes
case studies of Wole Soyinka, Nat Nakasa and Bessie Head, which
assess how the authors' careers were affected by these
transnational networks and also reveal how they challenged,
subverted, and resisted external influence and control.
