Lebogang Seale has written a personal and poignant account of the impact of South Africa’s failing and flailing land reform policy on ordinary people desperate for restorative justice.
One Hundred Years of Dispossession shows not only that land reform in South Africa is a criminal failure and monumental disappointment, but more than that, it is a betrayal that punishes the affected communities whose quest for justice remains denied.

As the links between health and food additives come under
increasing scrutiny, there is a growing demand for food containing
natural rather than synthetic additives and ingredients. Natural
food additives, ingredients and flavourings reviews the legislative
issues relating to natural food additives and ingredients, the
range of natural food additives and ingredients, and their
applications in different product sectors.
After an exploration of what the term natural means in the context
of food ingredients, part one focuses on natural food colourings,
low-calorie sweeteners and flavour enhancers, followed by a
consideration of natural antioxidants and antimicrobials as food
ingredients. The book goes on to review clean label starches and
proteins, the application of natural hydrocolloids as well as
natural aroma chemicals and flavourings from biotechnology and
green chemistry. Part two considers specific applications in
different products. Natural ingredients in savoury food products,
baked goods and alcoholic drinks are examined, as are natural plant
extracts in soft drinks and milk-based food ingredients.
With is distinguished editors and expert team of international
contributors, Natural food additives, ingredients and flavourings
is an invaluable reference tool for all those involved in the
development and production of foods with fewer synthetic additives
and ingredients.

A basic motivation for social and cultural life is the problem of
death. By analysing the experiences of dying and bereaved people,
as well as institutional responses to death, Clive Seale shows its
importance for understanding the place of embodiment in social
life. He draws on a comprehensive review of sociological,
anthropological and historical studies, including his own research,
to demonstrate the great variability that exists in human social
constructions for managing mortality. Far from living in a 'death
denying' society, dying and bereaved people in contemporary culture
are often able to assert membership of an imagined community,
through the narrative reconstruction of personal biography, drawing
on a variety of cultural scripts emanating from medicine,
psychology, the media and other sources. These insights are used to
argue that the maintenance of the human social bond in the face of
death is a continual resurrective practice, permeating everyday
life.

'Kind, realistic and genuinely helpful' Observer 'Bravo on the
publication of this witty, wise guide to solo working' Alice
Lascelles 'Filled to the brim with advice . . . Such a brilliant
book' Emma Gannon Whether by choice or circumstance, as a
freelancer or a company employee working from home, more of us are
becoming solo workers than ever before. But once you've made the
leap, how to do you actually work well in isolation? And how can
you thrive while working alone? Picking up where the freelancer
bibles stop, Solo addresses what we gain but also miss when we
shift from the structure of an office environment to the solitary
confines of our homes or studios. Blending the latest research in
psychology, economics and social science with guided
self-examination and more than ten years of freelance experience,
Rebecca Seal shows you how to stay resilient, productive and
focused in a company of one. Practical and inspiring, she also
explores the idea of meaningful work and helps you define your own
success.
The university today is a postmodern, neo-liberal, competitive,
boundary-less knowledge conglomerate, a far cry from its historical
traditional classical and collegial roots. There is a body of
literature on deanship that points to its evolving nature in the
contemporary academe characterised by complexity and change.
Balancing academic demands simultaneously with the requirements for
effective performance, leadership and management, lies at the heart
of this very challenging bridging role nowadays. Deans are
generally former academics, emerging from a traditional collegial
space and often catapulted into the relatively unknown domain of
executive management, with its related problems. Deans nowadays are
required to be more than collegial, intellectual leaders. They are
also meant to be fiscal and human resource experts, fundraisers,
politicians, and diplomats. Deanship in the Global South: Bridging
Troubled Waters is about the deans' lived reality, as they try to
balance the demands of both the academe from which they emerge, and
the administration to whom they now need to account. Their lack of
preparation and inadequate support points to the need for a more
strategic, integrated approach to leadership development within
their critical bridging roles between the academe and
administration.

Many accounts of critical pedagogy, particularly accounts of trying
to enact it within higher education (HE), express a deep cynicism
about whether it is possible to counter the ever creeping hegemony
of neo-liberalism, neo- conservatism and new managerialism within
Universities. Hopeful Pedagogies in Higher Education acknowledges
some of these criticisms, but attempts to rescue critical pedagogy,
locating some of its associated pessimism as misreading of Freire
and offering hopeful avenues for new theory and practice. These
misreadings are also located in the present, in the assumption that
unless change comes within the lifetime of the project, it has
somehow failed. Instead, this book argues that a positive
utopianism is possible. Present actions need to be celebrated, and
cultivated as symbols of hope, possibility and generativity for the
future - which the concept of hope implies. The contributors make
the case for celebrating the pedagogies of HE that operate in
liminal spaces – situated in the spaces between the present and
the future (between the world as it is and the world as it could
be) and also in the cracks that are beginning to show in the
dominant discourses.

Violence by women is frequently sensationalised, abetting
misogynistic tropes that characterise violent women as ‘evil’,
‘unnatural’ and masculine. Favouring more complex analyses of
this behaviour, The Emerald International Handbook of Feminist
Perspectives on Women’s Acts of Violence highlights and
challenges normative accounts of women’s violence and offers new
multidimensional conceptualisations of these acts, furthering
understanding of this topic from a feminist perspective. Responding
to a growing research interest, contributors present a
comprehensive introduction to a wide range of international and
interdisciplinary scholarship on different aspects of women’s
violence. Drawing on both empirical and secondary data, chapters
incorporate familiar themes of intimate violence, homicide,
terrorism and combat as well as wider content such as women’s
involvement in violent nationalist movements and their role in
perpetrating obstetric harms. The only publication of its kind in
terms of its scope, interdisciplinarity and feminist perspective,
The Emerald International Handbook of Feminist Perspectives on
Women’s Acts of Violence breaks fresh ground by unveiling how
violence is understood and enabling new links and connections to be
made across previously disparate areas.
