This latest volume of South African Foreign Policy Review assesses South Africa's foreign policy during the presidency of Cyril Ramaphosa.
Focusing on such themes as foreign policy leadership, policy architecture, diplomacy, national interests, and the country's bi- and multilateral relations, the authors also consider how South Africa can maintain―and even increase―its role both in the region and internationally.
"A gut-wrenching, wildly inspiring story about overcoming the most
daunting obstacles through steely tenacity, sheer will, and a great
big dose of motherly love." --Jeannette Walls, #1 New York Times
bestselling author of The Glass Castle An inspirational and
powerful memoir from the United States's most decorated winter
Paralympic or Olympic athlete, The Hard Parts is Oksana Masters
gripping account of overcoming extraordinary Chernobyl
disaster-caused physical challenges to create a life that
challenges everyone to push through what is holding them back.
Oksana Masters was born in Ukraine--in the shadow of
Chernobyl--seemingly with the odds stacked against her. She came
into the world with one kidney, a partial stomach, six toes on each
foot, webbed fingers, no right bicep, and no thumbs. Her left leg
was six inches shorter than her right, and she was missing both
tibias. Relinquished to the orphanage system by birth parents
daunted by the staggering cost of what would be their child's
medical care, Oksana encountered numerous abuses, some horrifying.
Salvation came at age seven when Gay Masters, an unmarried American
professor who saw a photo of the little girl and became haunted by
her eyes, waged a two-year war against stubborn adoption
authorities to rescue Oksana from her circumstances. In America,
Oksana endured years of operations that included a double leg
amputation. Still, how could she hope to fit in when there were so
many things making her different? As it turned out, she would do
much more than fit in. Determined to prove herself and fueled by a
drive to succeed that still smoldered from childhood, Oksana
triumphed in not just one sport but four--winning against the
world's best in elite rowing, biathlon, cross-country skiing, and
road cycling competitions. Now considered one of the world's top
athletes, she is the recipient of seventeen Paralympic medals, the
most of any US athlete of the Winter Games, Paralympic or Olympic.
Oksana's astonishing story of journeying through a series of dark
tunnels is "as true a tale of grit as I've ever heard, with a
message filled with triumph and beauty--that what doesn't kill us
makes us stronger, if we are loved" (Angela Duckworth, New York
Times bestselling author of Grit).
