All major cities in Africa have at least one international school and they are prominent in the lives of transient diplomats, other expatriates, and, increasingly, of the local middle classes. They throw up multiple challenges as different cultures interact, not always easily or willingly. The International School of Ndwalowe, in the imaginary African country of Awanza, is just emerging from bankruptcy. Charged with this responsibility, indeed daunted by it, is Peter Corby, British, in his first headship and in Africa for the first time. He must deal with recalcitrant teachers, unreasonable parents, intractable students, and a sometimes-frustrating Board of Directors in this affectionate tale often inspired by the author's own experiences. "Superbly evoked are the entertaining characters found in many an international school worldwide, in the emotively described context of a fictional country in southern Africa. Peter Mackenzie draws on his broad and varied experiences in many countries, but especially in Africa which he clearly loves. The result is a lively page-turner full of insights and plenty of fun - a reader's delight." Harry Deelman, International school veteran

The arrival of Vietnamese refugee 'boat people' on Australia's northern shore in the late 1970s heralded a seminal event in Australian history. The full impact of this event continues to resonate to this day, but significant challenges surrounding Vietnamese settlement were played out during the 1990s. This ethnography attempts to captures this highly formative period in Australian history by registering through the eyes of Vietnamese Australians, how Vietnamese and other Australians 'mirror' and come to terms with 'what it is to be Australian'. It plots this 'mirroring', firstly in terms of white Australia's cultural-historical constructions of the Asian as Other, and secondly in terms of the power and play of antipodean 'second contact' identified through the eyes of particularly situated Vietnamese Australians. Importantly located in processes of change, it is with their eyes that this study explores the relationships between Vietnamese Australians, their past and the dominant culture's responses to difference; highlighting the refashioning of 'tradition' (both Vietnamese and Australian) into new tools that both demystify and reenchant the neo-colonial world of second contact.

Excerpt from book: one of his first and earliest friends and companions .in the College of Glasgow, and of whose horrible sentence he on his naval station had previously heard with something like a shudder. In this most unexpected and woful extremity, this brave British officer, reflecting for a moment on his own positionfor he might, with others of his officers and men, easily have secured Muir as his prisoner, and carried him in that capacity to England, where probably he would have found rapid promotion at head-quarters for so doingyet he allowed the more generous and lofty feelings of nature at once to guide and direct him: and so, like the faithful friend, ever true under all circumstances, or rather like the good Samaritan immortalised elsewhere, he proceeded to quench the bloody gore and to bind up the gashes oT Muir's frightful wounds; and this done, our brave British officer, calling a few of his men together, complacently ordered them to get ready their first pinnace, with a flag of truce, and to carry ashore as gently and expeditiously as possible this bleeding man, with an urgent request to the Spanish authorities to pay immediate and particular attention to him as one of their own wounded. " Roll on, them deep and dark-blue Oceanroll Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain. Man marks the earth with ruinhis control Stops with the shore: upon the watery plain The wrecks are all thy deed; nor doth remain A shadow of man's ravage, save his own, When, for a moment, like a drop of rain, He sinks into thy depths with bubbling groan, Without a grave, unknell'd, uncoffin'd, and unknown." The safe transit of Thomas Muir to the Spanish shore was accomplished. The other results of that battle need not be told. But this we may remark, that had thisgenerous officer acted d...
