Renowned South African photographer Ranjith Kally captured iconic scenes throughout his career, such as his portrait Umkumbane, which has come to symbolise the shimmering jazz age of African townships in the 1950s.
When Miriam Makeba returned to Maseru, Lesotho, for a concert for black South Africans at the height of apartheid, Ranjith, too ventured to Lesotho and returned home with a remarkable image of an exiled singer poised between joy and heartbreak. And in a series of unflinching portraits, he documented with probity the horror of the forced removals in Natal.
As one of our country’s most prolific photojournalists, Ranjith’s pictures provide us with a glimpse into the tensions of the past and the events that shaped our future.

The relentless pursuit of economic growth is the defining
characteristic of contemporary societies. Yet it benefits few and
demands monstrous social and ecological sacrifice. Is there a
viable alternative? How can we halt the endless quest to grow
global production and consumption and instead secure
socio-ecological conditions that support lives worth living for
all? In this compelling book, leading experts Giorgos Kallis, Susan
Paulson, Giacomo D'Alisa and Federico Demaria make the case for
degrowth - living well with less, by living differently,
prioritizing wellbeing, equity and sustainability. Drawing on
emerging initiatives and enduring traditions around the world, they
advance a radical degrowth vision and outline policies to shape
work and care, income and investment that avoid exploitative and
unsustainable practices. Degrowth, they argue, can be achieved
through transformative strategies that allow societies to slow down
by design, not disaster. Essential reading for all concerned
citizens, policy-makers, and students, this book will be an
important contribution to one of the thorniest and most pressing
debates of our era.

This book discusses Change Management Impact Analysis and how this
method is used to analysis the risks and benefits of a change
management initiative when it pertains to obtaining critical
insight into how the change management program budget should be
allotted. The process also offers useful indicators for what areas
within the system should be monitored during the change management
process. This book presents theoretical analysis of practical
implications and surveys, along with analysis. It covers the
functions aimed at identifying various stakeholders associated with
the software such as requirement component, design component, and
class component. The book talks about the interrelationship between
the change and the effects on the rest of the system and dives
deeper to include the critical role that the analysis places on the
existing multiple functions such as estimating the development
costs, the project overhead costs, cost for the modification of the
system, and system strength or detecting errors in the system
during the process. Case studies are also included to help
researchers and practitioners to absorb the material presented.
This book is useful to graduate students, researchers,
academicians, institutions, and professionals that interested in
exploring the areas of Impact Analysis.
U2's ongoing popular appeal is constructed in the spaces between
band and fan, commercialism and community, spirituality and
nihilism; finding meaning in a surface-oriented popular culture and
contradiction in the depths of political and faith-based
institutions. The band's long-term success and continued relevance
is a result of their ability to hold these energies in tension
without one subsuming the other-to live in the liminal space that
such contradictions invite. U2's mythic trajectory was born from a
bygone electronic era, realized in our current digital era but with
an eye on the forthcoming virtual era; it is a new myth for the
whole world, found in the most unlikely of places, popular culture.
This book approaches the band's mythic trajectory through a
combination of rhetorical analysis and autoethnographic
explorations that unveil the more personal experiences most of us
have with media. Drawing heavily upon the works of Marshal McLuhan,
Joseph Campbell, Thomas S. Frentz, and Janice Hocker Rushing, Myth,
Fan Culture, and the Popular Appeal of Liminality in the Music of
U2 unpacks U2's popular appeal through the lenses of Agape
(spiritual, communal love), Amor (romantic love), and Eros (erotic
love). Check out the book's official website for additional

An innovative contribution to Scriabin studies, covering aspects of
Scriabin's life, personality, beliefs, training, creative output,
and interaction with contemporary Russian culture. This book is an
innovative contribution to Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915) studies,
covering aspects of Scriabin's life, personality, beliefs,
training, creative output, as well as his interaction with
contemporary Russian culture. It offers new and original research
from leading and upcoming Russian music scholars. Key Scriabin
topics such as mysticism, philosophy, music theory, contemporary
aesthetics, and composition processes are covered. Musical coverage
spans the composer's early, middle and late period. All main
repertoire is being discussed: the piano miniatures and sonatas as
well as the symphonies. In more detail, chapters consider:
Scriabin's part in early twentieth-century Russia's cultural
climate; how Scriabin moved from early pastiche to a style much
more original; the influence of music theory on Scriabin's
idiosyncratic style; the changing contexts of Scriabin
performances; new aspects of reception studies. Further chapters
offer: a critical understanding of how Scriabin's writings sit
within the traditions of Mysticism as well as French and Russian
Symbolism; a new investigation into his creative compositional
process; miniaturism and its wider context; a new reading of the
composer's mysticism and synaesthesia. Analytical chapters reach
out of the score to offer an interpretative framework; accepting
new approaches from disability studies; investigating the complex
interaction of rhythm and metre and modal interactions, the latent
diatonic 'tonal function' of Scriabin's late works, as well as
self-regulating structures in the composer's music.
This book represents an illustrated, critical analysis of filmmaker
Oliver Stone and his works, placing him in the tradition of
American political artists. Oliver Stone-polemicist, leftist,
artist, and-surprisingly for politically conservative
America-mainstream director-is one of the most controversial
American filmmakers in Hollywood. His films i
This book investigates how fascism - as an ideology and
political praxis - reconfigured the ideological, political, and
moral landscape of interwar Europe, generating an atmosphere of
extreme 'license' that facilitated the leap into eliminationist
violence. It demonstrates how fascist ideology linked the prospect
of violent 'cleansing' to utopias of national/racial regeneration,
thus encouraging and legitimizing targeted hatred against
particular 'others'. It also shows how the diffusion and
internationalization of fascism in the 1930s produced a sense of a
revolutionary new beginning and created a transnational fascist
'new order' in which Nazi Germany came to occupy a potent position
of authority. The book analyzes how the eliminationist initiative
and precedent of Nazi Germany became a second 'license' that
empowered fascist regimes across Europe to embark on their own
eliminationist projects with diminished accountability. Finally, it
examines how this 'license' - enhanced by the actions of fascists
and the collapse of order caused by World War Two - released
individuals and communities from the burden of legal and moral
accountability, turning them into accomplishes in the most wide,
brutal, and devastating genocidal campaign that the continent had
ever experienced.
