Blending in the Rainbow Nation takes a critical and detailed look at the young generation in post-Apartheid South Africa and examines ways in which members of the group relate to and engage with the post-Apartheid process of social and political reconciliation. To investigate whether and to what extent such processes are in fact taking place, Tihanyi focuses on the institution of the school, each one carefully chosen to represent the full range of economic and racial diversity present in the Cape Town area of South Africa. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, this book presents the schools through vignettes rich in detail, which in turn feeds into an analysis of the success and failures of racial integration and the consequent impact of these processes on reconciliation. In addition to presenting an analysis of the present situation, this wonderfully clear and well-written work also proposes potential solutions to some of the current challenges being faced.

In an effort to promote agro-enterprises and agro-industries as viable forms of inclusive development, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and The Cornell International Institute for Food, Agriculture and Development (CIIFAD) in collaboration with the International Association of Agricultural Economists (IAAE), organized an international symposium on the topic "Innovative Institutions, Public Policies, and Private Strategies for Inclusive Agro-Enterprise Development", as part of the Triennial Meetings of the IAAE held in Foz do lguacu, Brazil, in August 2012.This book contains the major papers presented at the symposium, which feature a wide range of country and regional experiences and examine the influence of markets and technology transfer to agro-enterprises on food security, poverty, and economic growth. The contributions also identify alternative market access strategies for sustainable economic development. This volume will enrich existing knowledge of agro-enterprises as a channel for promoting inclusive growth and reducing poverty levels across developing and emerging markets.
