Black And White Bioscope recovers a neglected chapter in the histories of world cinema and Africa. It tells the story of movie production in Africa that long predated francophone African films and Nollywood that are the focus of most histories of this industry.
At the same time as Hollywood was starting, a film industry in Southern Africa was surging ahead in integrating production, distribution, and exhibition. African Film Productions Limited made silent movies using technical and acting talent from Britain, the United States, and Australia, as well as from Africa. These included not only the original “long trek movie” and the prototype for the movies Zulu and Zulu Dawn but also the first King Solomon's Mines and the original Blue Lagoon, featuring African actors such as Goba, Tom Zulu, and Msoga Mwana, who starred as the black revolutionary in Prester John.
In this lavishly illustrated book, fifty movies are reconstructed with graphic photographs and plot synopses—plus quotations from reviews—so that readers can rediscover this long-lost treasure trove of silent cinema.

What is your stake in the upcoming 2024 election in South Africa – the most crucial election since 1994? Are you optimistic or pessimistic about the outcome? As a businessperson, consumer, worker or farmer, you will be affected by the election results and the significant changes that are likely to appear in South Africa’s political economy. The 2024 election gives South Africans the opportunity to decide what the country and its political leadership will look like in the future.
Tipping Point – Turmoil Or Reform? examines some critical questions about the country’s political and socioeconomic landscape today and whether the 2024 election outcome is likely to signal more gloom or will it rather pave the way for positive and enduring reforms. Edited by prominent economist Raymond Parsons, the book comprises pieces by some of South Africa’s leading intellectuals and thought leaders, all of whom have seriously considered South Africa’s post-election future.
Among the major themes emerging from the different chapters, which will help to steer the national agenda in the months and years ahead, are: South Africa’s political prospects after 2024; the future role of coalition politics in South Africa; the dynamics between business and the economy; what South Africa’s geopolitical leanings mean for the country’s trade competitiveness; how to make local government work; need for greater community engagement and why doing business in South Africa is challenging.
Tipping Point – Turmoil Or Reform? is as absorbing as it is frank, informing readers (and, importantly, voters) about the harsh reality of where South Africa is today but also offering them hope of a much better tomorrow – which will largely depend on the critical choices they make during this watershed election year for South Africa.

Fifty concrete strategies to help school leaders create a learning
environment that better serves and supports students living with
trauma. Many educators have heard about the need to implement
"trauma-sensitive" practices in order to help students heal and
succeed. But what does this look like on a day-to-day basis? What
does it require of teachers and of those who lead them? In
Trauma-Sensitive School Leadership, Bill Ziegler, Dave Ramage,
Andrea Parson, and Justin Foster provide a framework to guide
administrators and their teams through the process. With reference
to research and their own experience as teachers, counselors, and
school leaders, the authors explain how to Develop empathetic and
supportive relationships among students and staff. Identify biases
and barriers that hinder educators' ability to support learners
affected by trauma. Design all-school events and daily lesson plans
to minimize the likelihood of retraumatizing vulnerable students.
Retool discipline practices and physical spaces to foster a more
trauma-sensitive culture and climate. Establish supports to help
teachers and other staff deal with secondary trauma. Accepting
students for who they are and responding compassionately to their
needs leads to greater success in academics and life. With 50
recommended strategies and real-life examples of trauma-informed
healing practices, Trauma-Sensitive School Leadership can help you
transform your school to better serve your students.
