What does friendship have to do with racial difference, settler
colonialism and post-apartheid South Africa? While histories of
apartheid and colonialism in South Africa have often focused on the
ideologies of segregation and white supremacy, Ties that Bind
explores how the intimacies of friendship create vital spaces for
practices of power and resistance. Combining interviews, history,
poetry, visual arts, memoir and academic essay, the collection
keeps alive the promise of friendship and its possibilities while
investigating how affective relations are essential to the social
reproduction of power. From the intimacy of personal relationships
to the organising ideology of liberal colonial governance, the
contributors explore the intersection of race and friendship from a
kaleidoscope of viewpoints and scales. Insisting on a timeline that
originates in settler colonialism, Ties that Bind uncovers the
implication of anti-Blackness within nonracialism, and powerfully
challenges a simple reading of the Mandela moment and the rainbow
nation. In the wake of countrywide student protests calling for
decolonization of the university, and reignited debates around
racial inequality, this timely volume insists that the history of
South African politics has always already been about friendship.
Written in an accessible and engaging style, Ties that Bind will
interest a wide audience of scholars, students, and activists, as
well as general readers curious about contemporary South African
debates around race and intimacy.

Fourth film in the comedy franchise series starring Jason Biggs.
Over a decade on from the action of the original movie 'American
Pie' (1999), the characters descend on their home town East Great
Falls, Michigan for their ten-year high school reunion. Over the
course of a wild weekend, sparks fly as Jim (Biggs), Stifler (Seann
William Scott), Oz (Chris Klein) and Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas)
reconvene and reconnect. Jim and Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) are
still married, but things get wobbly when their next door neighbour
develops a crush on Jim. Meanwhile, Stifler, stuck in a dead-end
temping job, is having a hard time with the ladies, Oz has hit the
big time after winning a TV talent show, and Finch is still
hankering after Stifler's 'MILF' mother.
What makes us who we are? And why do we lead one life and not
another? The year is coming to a close and Asle, an ageing painter
and widower who lives alone on the southwest coast of Norway, is
reminiscing about his life. His only friends are his neighbour,
Asleik, a traditional fisherman-farmer, and Beyer, a gallerist who
lives in the city. There, in Bjorgvin, lives another Asle, also a
painter but lonely and consumed by alcohol. Asle and Asle are
doppelgangers - two versions of the same person, two versions of
the same life, both grappling with existential questions about
life, death, love, light and shadow, faith and hopelessness.
Written in melodious and hypnotic 'slow prose', The Other Name:
Septology I-II is an indelible and poignant exploration of the
human condition by Jon Fosse, 'a major European writer' (Karl Ove
Knausgaard), in which everything is always there, and past and
present flow together.
Asle is an ageing painter and widower who lives alone on the
southwest coast of Norway. His only friends are his neighbour,
Asleik, a traditional fisherman-farmer, and Beyer, a gallerist who
lives in the city. There, in Bjorgvin, lives another Asle, also a
painter but lonely and consumed by alcohol. Asle and Asle are
doppelgangers - two versions of the same person, two versions of
the same life, both grappling with existential questions. In this
second instalment of Jon Fosse’s Septology, ‘a major work of
Scandinavian fiction’ (Hari Kunzru), the two Asles meet for the
first time in their youth. They look strangely alike, dress
identically, and both want to be painters. At art school in
Bjorgvin, Asle meets and falls in love with his future wife, Ales.
Written in ‘melodious and hypnotic slow prose’, I is Another:
Septology III-V is an exquisite metaphysical novel about love, art,
God, friendship, and the passage of time.

Asle is an ageing painter and widower who lives alone on the
southwest coast of Norway. In nearby Bjørgvin another Asle, also a
painter, is lying in the hospital, consumed by alcoholism. Asle and
Asle are doppelgängers – two versions of the same person, two
versions of the same life, both grappling with existential
questions. In this final instalment of Jon Fosse’s Septology, the
major prose work by ‘the Beckett of the twenty-first century’
(Le Monde), we follow the lives of the two Asles as younger adults
in flashbacks: the narrator meets his lifelong love, Ales; joins
the Catholic Church; and makes a living by trying to paint away all
the pictures stuck in his mind. A New Name: Septology VI-VII is a
transcendent exploration of the human condition, and a radically
other reading experience – incantatory, hypnotic, and utterly
unique.

Post-conflict peacebuilding efforts can fail if they do not pay
sufficient attention to natural resources. Natural resources -
diamonds, oil, and minerals - are frequently at the heart of
historic grievances, and have caused or funded at least eighteen
conflicts since 1990. The same resources can play a central role in
post-conflict peacebuilding, providing revenue for cash-starved
governments, basic services for collapsed economies, and means for
restoring livelihoods. To date, there is a striking gap in
knowledge of what works, what does not, and how to improve
peacebuilding through more effective and systematic management of
natural resources. Post-Conflict Peacebuilding and Natural Resource
Management addresses this gap by examining the growing literature
on the topic and surveying experiences across more than forty
post-conflict countries. The six-volume series includes more than
130 chapters from over 200 researchers, practitioners, and
policymakers.
A monumental history of the LGBTQ influence on popular culture,
from award-winning, Sunday Times-bestselling author. An
electrifying look at key moments in music and entertainment history
between 1955 and 1979, which helped move gay culture from the
margins to the mainstream and changed the face of pop forever -
from the ambiguous sexuality of stars such as Little Richard in the
1950s through to David Bowie, glam rock and Sylvester's 'You Make
Me Feel (Mighty Real)'. The Secret Public is a searching
examination of the fortitude and resilience of the gay community
through the lens of popular music and culture; it reflects on the
freedom found in divergence from the norm and reminds us of the
need to be vigilant against those seeking to roll back the rights
of marginalised groups.
