The early 2000s were still a time of optimism and exuberance in newly democratic South Africa. Transformations were afoot, and there was a courageous desire for change, even with the stark realities of HIV and AIDS-related illnesses looming. At the 13th International AIDS Conference in Durban in 2000, Nkosi Johnson, aged 11, took the stage to give an impassioned speech emphasizing the importance of young people in responding to the AIDS pandemic. His call heralded an explosion of youth-focused initiatives, including the project that started this book. In My life follows the paths of a group of racially diverse young AIDS activists from Khayelitsha and Atlantis, first brought together as part of an educational HIV-prevention programme in Cape Town in 2002.
Over the next twenty years, we follow their inspiring and harrowing journeys, as they move from hopeful and passionate teen activists, through the tragedies and triumphs of transitioning to adulthood. With candour, they tell stories of hardships and loss, mental health issues, grief and violence, but also of personal transformations, love, friendship, artistic achievements, community connection and thrilling social justice wins. Connected to each other, and to their communities, their stories provide a glimpse into the long tale of activism and of educational work, forever asking the question: what difference does it make.
As the early post-apartheid enthusiasm and activism transformed and changed, stories have been a place where one could find solace and refuge, or find ways to be connected again. The stories in In My Life reflect the shifting times and context in South Africa, the transformation of the country and the complicated life stories of everyday life in the cracks of those who are artists, writers, creators, activists, researchers, teachers and many other things in between and beyond.

Public radio stands as a valued national institution, one whose
fans and listeners actively support it with their time and their
money. In this new history of this important aspect of American
culture, author Jack W. Mitchell looks at the dreams that inspired
those who created it, the all too human realities that grew out of
those dreams, and the criticism they incurred from both sides of
the political spectrum. As National Public Radio's very first
employee, and the first producer of its legendary "All Things
Considered," Mitchell tells the story of public radio from the
point of view of an insider, a participant, and a thoughtful
observer. He traces its origins in the progressive movement of the
20th century, and analyzes the people, institutions, ideas,
political forces, and economic realities that helped it evolve into
what we know as public radio today. NPR and its local affiliates
have earned their reputation for thoughtful commentary and
excellent journalism, and their work is especially notable in light
of the unique struggles they have faced over the decades. More than
any other book published on the subject, Mitchell's provides an
accurate guide to public radio's development, offering a balanced
analysis of how it has fulfilled much of its promise but has
sometimes fallen short. This comprehensive overview of their
mission will fascinate listeners whose enjoyment and support of
public radio has made it possible, and made it great.
Horizon blends stories, poems, essays, a play, and historical
material from sixty writers to portray the social and literary
tradition of a unique region of Canada. In the process of examining
both a state of mind and the varied imaginative responses to a
sometimes hostile but often generous and awe-inspiring environment,
this anthology celebrates the commitment to survival that is at the
core of the Prairie experience.
European explorers were captivated by the seemingly endless bounty
of natural resources on Cape Cod Bay. One Englishman declared that
the codfish were so thick one "could" walk on their backs. Early
settlers quickly learned how to harness the bay's resources and
excelled at shore whaling, shipping and salt making. But as these
new industries flourished, the native Wampanoag, who helped the
fledgling colony to take root, nearly vanished. Author Theresa
Mitchell Barbo's skillful narrative weaves together the natural and
cultural histories of the bay, highlighting some of the region's
diverse milestones- from the drafting of the Mayflower Compact in
1620 to the establishment of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant 350
years later. "Cape Cod Bay: A History of Salt & Sea" inspires
new appreciation for this storied and stunning seascape, and
underscores the importance of new efforts to preserve the bay's
unique ecosystem.
