This is a critical analysis of the reasons underlying the emergence
of the Asia Pacific as an economic superpower and the need for
judicious evaluation of the likely shape and character of the
region's future development. The aim of this collection is to
illuminate key areas of debate concerning the People's Republic of
China, Hong Kong and Taiwan - here collectively referred to as
Greater China - in the belief that the destiny of the Pacific Rim
as a whole will be decisively influenced by eonomic and political
developments in this particular region.
This book, first published in 1996, focuses on the possible (but
problematic) emergence of a so-called 'Greater China' encompassing
mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, and the economic reforms,
inward investment, spatial disparities, and changes to business
culture that would ensue. The similarities, differences,
underpinnings, results and prospects for the future of Greater
China are analysed in close detail in the chapters collected here.

A single image taken from a high-rise building in inner-city
Johannesburg uncovers layers of history-from its premise and
promise of gold to its current improvisations. It reveals the city
as carcass and as crucible, where informal agents and processes
spearhead its rapid reshaping and transformation. In Wake Up, This
Is Joburg, writer Tanya Zack and photographer Mark Lewis offer a
stunning portrait of Johannesburg and personal stories of some of
the city's ordinary, odd, and outrageous residents. Their photos
and essays take readers into meat markets where butchers chop cow
heads; the eclectic home of an outsider artist that features
turrets and full of manikins; long-abandoned gold pits beneath the
city, where people continue to mine informally; and lively markets,
taxi depots, and residential high-rises. Sharing people's private
and work lives and the extraordinary spaces of the metropolis, Zack
and Lewis show that Johannesburg's urban transformation occurs not
in a series of dramatic, wide-scale changes but in the everyday
lives, actions, and dreams of individuals.

An examination of Pierre Huyghe's post-apocalyptic Untitled (Human
Mask), which asks whether our human future may be one of remnants
and mimicry. Pierre Huyghe's 2014 film Untitled (Human Mask)
combines images of a post-apocalyptic world (actual footage of
deserted streets close to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster of
March 2011) with a haunting scene of a monkey working in an empty
restaurant wearing a human mask and a wig. She's a girl! The flat,
emotionless almost automaton state of the mask and the artificial
glossy hair topped even with a child's bow, suggests that she, the
monkey, might be a character from Japanese Noh theatre. But there's
no music. Instead Huyghe's film evinces the terrifying possibility
that our own, human, future might just be one of remnants and
mimicry; that the deserted streets of Fukushima and the monkey's
recognizable, alienating chimeric performance is all that might
survive us. Untitled (Human Mask) presents a pluperfect world with
extinction the endgame for a civilization that cared little for the
present, dreaming only of a future that inevitably and necessarily
could not include it.
Vaya the film is based on the lives of four young men from the Homeless Writer’s Project: David Majoka, Anthony Mafela, Madoda Ntuli and Tshabalira Lebakeng, and rooted in their experiences of coming to Johannesburg. Vaya the book brings you the people and stories that inspired the award-winning film.
The book provides a rare lens into life on the margins of Johannesburg. The stories are intimate and hard hitting, funny and heartbreaking, full of courage and humanity in a world that is both capricious and unforgiving. Stories of living on the street, of finding family and friendship in unusual places, and coming to the city full of hope and promise only to be betrayed by the very people one trusts most.
Mark Lewis’s haunting photographs bring into sharp focus life in the underbelly of the city.
