The re-emergence of debates on the decolonisation of knowledge has revived interest in the National Question, which began over a century ago and remains unresolved. Tensions that were suppressed and hidden in the past are now being openly debated. Despite this, the goal of one united nation living prosperously under a
constitutional democracy remains elusive. This edited volume examines the way in which various strands of left thought have addressed the National Question, especially during the apartheid years, and goes on to discuss its relevance for South Africa today and in the future.
Instead of imposing a particular understanding of the National Question, the editors identified a number of political traditions and allowed contributors the freedom to define the question as they believed appropriate - in other words, to explain what they thought was the Unresolved National Question. This has resulted in a rich tapestry of interweaving perceptions.
The volume is structured in two parts. The first examines four foundational traditions - Marxism-Leninism (the Colonialism of a Special Type thesis); the Congress tradition; the Trotskyist tradition; and Africanism. The second part explores the various shifts in the debate from the 1960s onwards, and includes chapters on Afrikaner nationalism, ethnic issues, Black Consciousness, feminism, workerism and constitutionalism. The editors hope that by revisiting the debates not popularly known among the scholarly mainstream, this volume will become a catalyst for an enriched debate on our identity and our future.
Drawing on a selection of ethnographic studies of precarious work in Africa, this book discusses globalisation and digitalisation as drivers for structural change and examines the implications for labour. It explores the role of digital technology in new business models and how it can be harnessed for counter mobilisation by the new worker.
Much of the debate on the future of work has focused on responses to technological trends in the Global North, with little evidence on how these trends are impacting work and workers in the Global South.
Drawing on a rich selection of ethnographic studies of precarious work in Africa, this innovative book discusses how globalisation and digitalisation are drivers for structural change and examines their implications for labour. Bringing together global labour studies and inequality studies, it explores the role of digital technology in new business models and how it can be harnessed for counter mobilisation by the new worker.
Social science researchers in the global South, and in South Africa particularly, utilise research methods in innovative ways in order to respond to contexts characterised by diversity, racial and political tensions, socioeconomic disparities and gender inequalities. These methods often remain undocumented – a gap that this book starts to address.
Written by experts from various methodological fields, Transforming Research Methods in the Social Sciences is a comprehensive collation of original essays and cutting-edge research that demonstrates the variety of novel techniques and research methods available to researchers responding to these context-bound issues. It is particularly relevant for study and research in the fields of applied psychology, sociology, ethnography, biography and anthropology. In addition to their unique combination of conceptual and application issues, the chapters also include discussions on ethical considerations relevant to the method in similar global South contexts.
Transforming Research Methods in the Social Sciences has much to offer to researchers, professionals and others involved in social science research both locally and internationally.
The Springbok rugby captain, over more than a century, has represented many things to many South Africans. He has united, and he has divided. He has thrilled, he has disappointed. He has inspired, he has disheartened. He has triumphed, he has failed. But he has always had an impact.
In this revealing narrative, Edward Griffiths and Stephen Nell depict the men who have been able to call themselves ‘Springbok Captain’ through their backgrounds, triumphs and disappointments. Relive the heyday of rugby legends Bennie Osler, Danie Craven, Hennie Muller, Johan Claassen, Naas Botha, Francois Pienaar, Gary Teichmann, Joost van der Westhuizen, Andre Vos and others.
Now fully updated with the accounts of Bobby Skinstad, Victor Matfield and Jean de Villiers, The Springbok Captains is the epic story that lies at the heart of South African rugby.
The page-turning psychological thriller from the author of the bestsellers The Magpies and Because She Loves Me.

Back in London, Daniel and Laura vow never to talk about what happened that night. But as they try to fit into their old lives again, they realise they are in terrible danger—and that their nightmare is just beginning…
Een miljoen vlinders is ’n verhaal oor grootword, weggaan, verlief
word en weer huis toe kom. In die middel van die nag sien Martiens
hulle vir die eerste keer: die vlinders wat om sy kop fladder. Ten
minste ’n miljoen van hulle! Martiens weet nie waar die vlinders
vandaan kom nie, maar sy ouers weet duidelik iets wat hy nie weet
nie. "Dis tyd om te gaan," se hulle, en stuur hom die woud in.
Oppad ontmoet Martiens verskeie diere, maar niemand anders sien sy
vlinders nie. Die ouer diere het egter ’n vermoede waarheen die
vlinders hom wil lei … en gee vir hom alles wat hy nodig het vir sy
reis.

Locked-room mysteries and other impossible crime stories have been
relished by puzzle-lovers ever since the invention of detective
fiction. Fiendishly intricate cases were particularly well suited
to the cerebral type of detective story that became so popular
during the 'golden age of murder' between the two world wars. But
the tradition goes back to the days of Wilkie Collins, and
impossible crime stories have been written by such luminaries as
Arthur Conan Doyle, G.K. Chesterton, Dorothy L. Sayers and Margery
Allingham. This anthology celebrates their work, alongside
long-hidden gems by less familiar writers. Together these stories
demonstrate the range and high accomplishment of the classic
British impossible crime story over more than half a century.

'Then I felt his warm hand grow cold, it was as if he had been
reminded of death. He wasn’t looking at me any more, but
obliquely, across the restaurant. I turned round.' Sarah has been
receiving threatening anonymous letters seemingly from a former
lover. Just one day after revealing this information to her co-
worker Nancy, Sarah is shot and found in her bedroom by one of her
past flames, Donald. Desperate to clear any evidence of Donald’s
presence at the scene for her own infatuations, Nancy finds herself
as the key suspect when she is discovered in the apartment. As the
real killer uses the situation to their advantage, Bennett crafts a
tense and nuanced story through flashbacks to Sarah’s life and
loves in this Gold- Dagger-award-winning story of deceit and
murder.

Published to mark the 400th anniversary of the book's original
publication, this facsimile edition faithfully reproduces one of
the finest copies held in the British Library collections. The
significance of the First Folio cannot be underestimated. It is the
only contemporary source of eighteen of Shakespeare's plays.
Without it, performances of such popular plays as The Tempest,
Twelfth Night and Macbeth would not be possible. Changes and
corrections were made during the long printing process. Small
alterations were also made to the (now iconic) portrait of
Shakespeare created by Martin Droeshout for the title page. As a
result, no two surviving copies of the First Folio are identical
and few are complete. Of the 750 copies that were originally
published, some 200 exist today. The British Library has five
copies, one of which is complete, and it is this copy that is
presented with an introductory booklet by curators Adrian S Edwards
and Tanya Kirk.
