While the depth and sophistication of South Africa’s financial and capital markets are lauded by indices the world over, South Africa is also considered to be the most unequal society in the world. The Economy On Your Doorstep probes the reasons for this tragic paradox of South African life and tries to go through and beyond the graphs, margin calls, trading updates, indices and earnings reports to explain how economic ‘actions’ frame the lives of South Africans in a transitional society faced with the challenges of unemployment, poverty and inequality.
The economy is and always has been primarily about ‘people’. How they live, what they produce, under what conditions and what social, political and environmental factors influence decisions of consumption, investment and distribution – and how they act under conditions of uncertainty, scarcity, need and crisis. After all, economies are about people coming together to produce, exchange, distribute and consume goods and services that emerge from their communities and those of others. How and under what conditions can we ensure the expansion of our productive forces, while expanding access to the base of assets, services and support that allow for the social reproduction of our entire society and workforce?
Ayabonga Cawe outlines some key areas that can and should define a policy agenda towards a ‘people’s economy’ in South Africa and the long-term objectives of such a policy programme, and engages with the political economy of 21st century South Africa through an analysis of a few selected areas of the economy and the implications of this for policy action. This is what this book is about – an exposition of what we see around us and an explanation and discussion of possible ways beyond it.
In this well-researched book, Ayabonga Cawe, a development economist, columnist and broadcaster, makes sense of the post-apartheid political economy through the lives of the many people who live and survive in it every day.
This book is available either individually, or as part of the
specially-priced Arguments of the Philosphers Collection.
Originally published in 1990, Women of Bloomsbury takes a fresh
look at the lives of Virginia Woolf, her sister Vanessa Bell, and
Dora Carrington. Connected by more than bonds of friendship and
artistic endeavour, the three women faced similar struggles.
Juxtaposing their personal lives and their work, Mary Ann Caws
shows us with feeling and clarity the pain women suffer in being
artists and in finding - or creating - their sense of self. Relying
on unpublished letters and diaries, as well as familiar texts, Caws
give us a portrait of the female self in the act of creation.

The first comprehensive guide to the prose poem, this book covers
the history of the genre from Aloyisius Bertrand's Gaspard de la
nuit and Baudelaire's Paris Spleen to its most important modern and
contemporary practitioners. It gives special attention to the
genre's hybridity as well as to its propensity to engage in a
dialogue with other genres, discourses and artistic forms. Written
by prominent scholars of modern and contemporary poetry and
poetics, The Edinburgh Companion to the Prose Poem offers
analytical and historically informed narratives of the genre's
transformations and variations across the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries and into the next.

This collection of essays offers glimpses of "the city", both
material and mental, as it appears in films, novels, photographs,
poems, architecture, essays, stagings and journals. Created by man,
the city magnifies man's imperfections and reflects humanity's
hopes, fears, dreams and despairs. The book moves from historical
and concrete perspectives of New York, Paris, London and Chicago to
the abstract city of the mind. The works of Woolf, Blake, James,
Wordsworth and Baudelaire, among others, are analyzed for their
characterization of the city in their writings. The book is
intended for professors and students of comparative literature,
English, sociology, and film and art history.

Jolas, W.S. Merwin, William Carlos Williams, and James Wright, to
name a few), in homage to a writer long held in highest esteem by
the literary avant-garde.
Ian Caws was for 25 years a social worker in West Sussex and ran

night admission of a man to psychiatric hospital.Life on the Sussex
Downs and by the English Channel are portrayed with discernment and
insight. A former recipient of the Eric Gregory Award, Ian Caws has
published 12 collections, one of which, The Ragman Totts, was a
Poetry Book Society Recommendation.
A revealing investigation into Picasso's career-long fascination
with the written word Throughout his life, Pablo Picasso had close
friendships with writers and an abiding interest in the written
word. This groundbreaking book, which draws on the collections of
Yale University, traces the relationship that Picasso had with
literature and writing in his life and work. Beginning with the
artist's early associations with such writers as Gertrude Stein,
Guillaume Apollinaire, Max Jacob, and Pierre Reverdy, the book
continues until the postwar period, by which time Picasso had
become a worldwide celebrity. Distinguished authorities in art and
literature explore the theme of Picasso and language from
historical, linguistic, and visual perspectives and contextualize
Picasso's work within a rich literary framework. Presenting
fascinating archival materials and written in an accessible style,
Picasso and the Allure of Language is essential reading for anyone
interested in this great artist and the history of modernism.

"Mad Love" has been acknowledged an undisputed classic of the
surrealist movement since its first publication in France in 1937.
Its adulation of love as both mystery and revelation places it in
the most abiding of literary traditions, but its stormy history and
technical difficulty have prevented it from being translated into
English until now.
"There has never been any forbidden fruit. Only temptation is
divine," writes Andre Breton, leader of the surrealists in Paris in
the 1920s and '30s. "Mad Love" is dedicated to defying "the
widespread opinion that love wears out, like the diamond, in its
own dust." Celebrating breton's own love and lover, the book
unveils the marvelous in everyday encounters and the hidden depths
of ordinary things.

This singular book illustrates how to edit a piece of prose and
enhance its clarity of thought and felicity of style. The authors
first present ten principles of effective composition, and then
scrutinize three extended paragraphs, suggesting with remarkable
specificity how to improve them. The volume also offers challenging
practice questions, as well as two finished essays, one serious and
one humorous, that demonstrate how attention to sound mechanics
need not result in mechanical writing. Steven M. Cahn and Victor L.
Cahn help readers deploy a host of corrective strategies, such as
avoiding jargon, bombast, and redundancy; varying sentence
structure; paring the use of adjectives and adverbs; properly
deploying phrases and clauses; and refining an argument. Here is a
book for all who seek to increase their facility in written
communication.
Food has always been a favourite subject of the world's artists,
from still-lifes by Matisse and Picasso to the works of Claes
Oldenberg and Andy Warhol. But how do artists eat? The Modern Art
Cookbook provides a window into how both great and lesser-known
modern artists, writers and poets ate, cooked, depicted and wrote
about food. A cornucopia of life in the kitchen and in the studio
throughout the twentieth century and beyond, the book explores a
wide-ranging panoply of artworks of food, cooking and eating from
Europe and the Americas - from the early moderns through the
Impressionists, Symbolists, Cubists, Futurists and Surrealists up
to today's art - as well as writing about food from contemporary
novelists, writers and poets. Beautifully illustrated and often
surprising, this new paperback edition is a joyous guide to the art
of food.
