Unafraid to challenge the status quo, CR Snyman's Criminal Law takes a challenging look at criminal law in South Africa.
This book has been thoroughly revised in light of important changes in the South African legal system, with updated reference to the latest reported judgements.
'When I’m dead, you make sure that ordinary people, ordinary rural women, must be at the forefront of my funeral. I want my rural women to be there at the forefront: people that know me well.’
With great care and meticulous research, Kally Forrest brings us the life of Lydia Komape, also known as Mam Lydia Kompe. Kally travels in Lydia’s footsteps, with family, friends, comrades and ancestors from Limpopo and Johannesburg to Cape Town where Lydia sat in Nelson Mandela’s parliament.
Her family’s shattering loss of land in the 1930s deeply impacted Lydia’s life choices. She was fiercely independent, yet bound by the collective, forceful but consultative, humorous and deeply serious.
Lydia closely identified with rural women, remarking, ‘We are so discriminated against, but we are made to work like donkeys. We do all the dirty work – you must go and plough, hoe, harvest, carry water, fetch wood, and men are just sitting drinking alcohol under the tree.’
This is a biography that will open your eyes and heart.
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.

This book evaluates the current and future state of fascism
studies, reflecting on the first hundred years of fascism and
looking ahead to a new era in which fascism studies increasingly
faces fresh questions concerning its relevance and the potential
reappearance of fascism. This wide-ranging work celebrates Roger
Griffin's contributions to fascism studies - in conceptual and
definitional terms, but also in advancing our understanding of
fascism - which have informed related research in a number of
fields and directions since the 1990s. Bringing together three
'generations' of fascism scholars, the book offers a combination of
broad conceptual essays and contributions focusing on particular
themes and facets of fascism. The book features chapters, which,
although diverse in their approaches, explore Griffin's work while
also engaging critically with other schools of thought. As such, it
identifies new avenues of research in fascism studies, placing
Griffin's work within the context of new and emerging voices in the
field.
Fiber Bragg gratings are flexible, cost-effective and highly
efficient, with a vast range of potential applications. This timely
new work provides a comprehensive description of the principles and
practical applications of this latest technology, which has the
potential to revolutionize telecommunications and significantly
impact optical fiber sensing. Here the authors explain the
underlying physics and practical aspects in a clear and unambiguous
manner.
This is a must-have reference for engineers, researchers and
academics in this active and rapidly growing field. The breadth of
coverage is impressive, the treatment is rigorous and is
accompanied by extensive and up-to-date reference lists. Key topics
covered include photosensitivity, properties, inscribing gratings,
detailed applications coverage in both telecommunications and
sensing, and a look at the impact of this technology on the
marketplace.
Fascism exerted a crucial ideological and political influence
across Europe and beyond. Its appeal reached much further than the
expanding transnational circle of 'fascists', crossing into the
territory of the mainstream, authoritarian, and traditional right.
Meanwhile, fascism's seemingly inexorable rise unfolded against the
backdrop of a dramatic shift towards dictatorship in large parts of
Europe during the 1920s and especially 1930s. These dictatorships
shared a growing conviction that 'fascism' was the driving force of
a new, post-liberal, fiercely nationalist and anti-communist order.
The ten contributions to this volume seek to capture, theoretically
and empirically, the complex transnational dynamic between interwar
dictatorships. This dynamic, involving diffusion of ideas and
practices, cross-fertilisation, and reflexive adaptation, muddied
the boundaries between 'fascist' and 'authoritarian' constituencies
of the interwar European right.
Was Nazi wartime propaganda a 'totalitarian' mechanism that
controlled the perceptions of the Germans? Was it as effective as
generally thought? Did it 'win' the psychological war over the
minds of the population? Was Joseph Goebbels the 'mastermind' of
the Third Reich? This book analyzes the factors that determined the
organization, conduct and output of Nazi propaganda during World
War II, in an attempt to re-assess previously inflated perceptions
about the influence of Nazi propaganda and the role of the regime's
propagandists in the outcome of the 1939-45 military
conflict.
Recent years have brought many changes to the world of mass media.
The In ternet and mobile communications technology have provided
consumers with interactive digital services. Television is catching
up with this trend through the digitalization process. Digital
television is a hybrid platform combining elements from classical
analog television and the Internet, providing modern multimedia
services on a familiar platform. In short, digital TV is a gateway
to the world of interactive digital media. Digital TV brings
consumers into the television service arena and offers them new
degrees of freedom. However, as the service and multimedia content
types diversify and the services and their content increase,
television is facing many of the same challenges of complexity and
information overflow faced by other digital media. Metadata can
handle the diverse services and content of digital TV effi. ciently
and in a consumer-friendly way. Metadata means that the data are
accompanied by other data which describe them. As data about data,
meta data can provide an insight into syntactically and
semantically complex data by distilling their essence to a set of
simple descriptors. Metadata also helps to structure and manage
information in diverse settings. The use of metadata in broadcast
multimedia should not be restricted to being merely a tool for
coping with the challenges of a complex networked multimedia
environment. Instead, metadata ofTers new opportunities for the
development of innovative services.
