Safari Nation opens new lines of inquiry into the study of national parks in Africa and the rest of the world.

The Kruger National Park is South Africa’s most iconic nature reserve, renowned for its rich flora and fauna. According to Dlamini, there is another side to the park, a social history neglected by scholars and popular writers alike in which blacks (meaning Africans, coloureds and Indians) occupy centre stage. Safari Nation details the ways in which black people devoted energies to conservation and to the park over the course of the twentieth century – an engagement that transcends the stock (black) figure of the labourer and the poacher.

By exploring the complex and dynamic ways in which blacks of varying class, racial, religious and social backgrounds related to the Kruger National Park, and with the help of previously unseen archival photographs, Dlamini’s narrative also sheds new light on how and why Africa’s national parks – often derided by scholars as colonial impositions – survived the end of white rule on the continent. Relying on oral histories, photographs and archival research, Safari Nation engages both with African historiography and with ongoing debates about the ‘land question’, democracy and citizenship in South Africa.

In Rocklands, Liezille Jacobs reframes psychology not only as a profession, but as a profound calling that is intertwined with personal and societal evolution. Traversing her own personal journey from her adverse childhood experiences in Rocklands, Mitchell’s Plain, to being the first black Head of Department at Rhodes University in 120 years, Jacobs illuminates the interconnectedness of personal, professional and public roles, advocating for a shift from careerism to a movement grounded in shared values and principles.

At the same time, the book makes a brave and erudite scholarly contribution to the field of psychology. Its method is unconventional but carefully considered. Those who have provided comments on the manuscript unanimously concur – this book is essential reading for students and academics, families and patriarchs in equal measure.

The transformation imperative within psychology demands a stance of activism, if not revolution, against systems of oppression. This stance urges readers to view this book not only as an academic exercise but as a profound transformative exploration of “giving psychology away”; emphasising the idea of making psychological knowledge and expertise more accessible to the general public and sharing the benefits of psychological science with society to improve people’s lives.

An award-winning historian and journalist tells the very human story of apartheid's afterlife, tracing the fates of South African insurgents, collaborators, and the security police through the tale of the clandestine photo album used to target apartheid's enemies. From the 1960s until the early 1990s, the South African security police and counterinsurgency units collected over 7,000 photographs of apartheid's enemies.

The political rogue's gallery was known as the "terrorist album," copies of which were distributed covertly to police stations throughout the country. Many who appeared in the album were targeted for surveillance. Sometimes the security police tried to turn them; sometimes the goal was elimination. All of the albums were ordered destroyed when apartheid's violent collapse began. But three copies survived the memory purge.

With full access to one of these surviving albums, award-winning South African historian and journalist, Jacob Dlamini investigates the story behind these images: their origins, how they were used, and the lives they changed. Extensive interviews with former targets and their family members testify to the brutal and often careless work of the police. Although the police certainly hunted down resisters, the terrorist album also contains mug shots of bystanders and even regime supporters.

Their inclusion is a stark reminder that apartheid's guardians were not the efficient, if morally compromised, law enforcers of legend but rather blundering agents of racial panic. With particular attentiveness to the afterlife of apartheid, Dlamini uncovers the stories of former insurgents disenchanted with today?s South Africa, former collaborators seeking forgiveness, and former security police reinventing themselves as South Africa's newest export: "security consultants" serving as mercenaries for Western nations and multinational corporations.

The Terrorist Album is a brilliant evocation of apartheid's tragic caprice, ultimate failure, and grim legacy.

Om te leer lees is een van die grootste avonture wat op enige kind wag - en Krok en Dil is die perfekte maats om die opwindende reis mee aan te pak! Die nuwe leesreeks uit die pen van Jaco Jacobs stel kinders deur middel van prettige stories aan verskillende klanke bekend. Die reeks het 'n sterk strokiesprent-aanslag, met volop spraakborrels en fantastiese volkleurillustrasies deur Nadia du Plessis, en die twee onwaarskynlike beste maats, 'n knorrige krokodil en 'n lewenslustige komkommertjie, sal dadelik in beginnerlesers se harte kruip. Jaco is self die pa van twee dogtertjies, Mia (9) en Emma (7), wat die afgelope paar jaar leer lees het, en hy se een van die grootste struikelblokke was om toeganklike beginnerleesboeke op te spoor. "My kinders het grootgeword met stories - van die heel lekkerste storieboeke in Afrikaans en Engels wat aan hulle voorgelees is. Dit was daarom vir hulle baie frustrerend as beginnerleesboeke net op die klanke fokus, sonder 'n sterk, vermaaklike storielyn. Dit is waarom ek die Krok en Dil-reeks begin skryf het - ek wou 'n leesreeks skryf wat vir lesers - en ouers! - 'n prettige storie in elke boek bied, met hope humor."

Krok hou van speel … maar hy hou nie daarvan as iemand hom kielie nie. Dil hou van skool … maar hy hou nie van stilsit nie. Dil hou van Krok. En Krok hou van Dil. Krok en Dil is beste maats … en hulle sal jou laat skater van die lag! Krok en Dil gaan skool toe bevat drie skreeusnaakse strokies: Krok gaan skool toe, Sit stil, Dil! en Hik! Die grafiese roman is perfek vir beginnerlesers!
