Accountable government in AfricaPerspectives from public law and political studiesEditors: D Chirwa & L Nijzink

In the early 1990s, a wave of democratisation swept the African continent, resulting in a � urry of constitution-making and constitutional revision. Two decades later it is time to take stock and assess to what extent accountable governance has taken root in Africa. Combining insights from a number of leading experts in the � elds of public law, political science and democratisation studies, this edited volume looks at various institutions and mechanisms of accountability, their e� ectiveness and how the institutions themselves are being held accountable.

This book presents new knowledge about legal and political developments in a number of African countries – Ghana, Malawi, Mali, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia, with further references to Mozambique, Kenya and Swaziland – bringing the policy goal of developing and deepening democratic governance and accountable government on the continent up to date.

Recommended forAcademics, students and practitioners in the � elds of public law, public administration, political studies and African studies.

About the editorsDanwood Mzikenge Chirwa is currently Head of the Public Law Department at the University of Cape Town. He has published widely on economic and social rights. Lia Nijzink is a Senior Researcher with the Department of Public Law, University of Cape Town.

Cities with ‘slums’From informal settlement eradication to a right to the city in AfricaM Huchzermeyer

The title of this book deliberately suggests a critique of the Cities Without Slums campaign, which has unwittingly legitimised large-scale evictions from informal settlements in many African cities, from Abuja in Nigeria to Cape Town in South Africa. The African continent often looks to South African urban policy for a solution to what is perceived as the escalating ‘problem’ of slums. South African cities’ global competitiveness in attracting investment, their hosting of the 2010 Soccer World Cup and their determination to eradicate informal settlements by 2014 are promoted as best practice. And yet, the South African target to eradicate informal settlements by 2014 is perhaps the most tragic misinterpretation and abuse of the Millennium Goal to ‘signi� cantly improve the lives of 100 million slum dwellers by 2020’, to which the unfortunate slogan of Cities Without Slums is attached.

Construction item pricingFor more profit and less riskD Cattell

The pricing of the constituent component items of a project has a substantial in� uence on the pro� tability of a project for a building contractor. Despite this, there has been relatively little research done on this subject since ‘unbalanced bidding’ (the manipulation of component item prices) was identi� ed as a viable strategy 50 years ago.

The science now con� rms that there are considerable bene� ts for building and engineering contractors if they adopt a well-disciplined and well-informed approach to the pricing of their work. This book outlines a new approach, called CUP Theory (Construction Unit Pricing Theory), which is intended to lay a new foundation for a scienti� cally based approach to item pricing. It shows that contractors could increase their pro� t by as much as 150% without much change to their risk. The author has included a CD containing the program by which pricing can be calculated, and has presented it so that it can be further worked on by those researching the � eld.

Recommended forAcademics and practitioners in construction management, quantity surveying, project management, civil engineering, cost engineering, � nance, � nancial economics, microeconomics, behavioural economics, game theory, applied mathematics, operations research and industrial engineering.

About the authorDavid Cattell is Discipline Leader for Construction and Quantity Surveying at Bond University, Australia.

The failure of decentralisation in South African local governmentComplexity and unanticipated consequencesA Siddle & T Koelble

Decentralised government is practised in many developing and transitional countries, including South Africa. The South African local government model has various instruments in place which, in theory, enable local government to achieve developmental objectives. Yet many South African municipalities are dysfunctional and incapable of performing their duties. Protests against service delivery failure have become commonplace, and the resulting political upheavals constitute perhaps the most serious challenge South African democracy has yet faced.

This book examines the design of the local government framework and its contributing role in the crisis. Through empirical research conducted at 37 municipalities across the country, it � nds that municipalities are frequently incapable of meeting the demands imposed upon them by a highly complex model of local government.

The aim of this book is to promote an understanding of the di� culties that confront local government in South Africa and the causes of its failure. It does not presume to provide the answers to the crisis; instead, it encourages debate by posing a number of questions about the future design for local government and suggests that a far simpler model which imposes less complex demands needs to be considered.

Recommended forStudents of political science, public administration and public law; policy-makers in the � eld of local government and constitutional development; NGOs.

About the authorsAndrew Siddle has a PhD in Business Administration from the University of Cape Town, and is an expert in the � elds of public and corporate governance and decentralisation. He has been admitted as an Attorney of the High Court of South Africa, and has extensive experience in local government law, � nance and administration.

Imagining the Cape ColonyHistory, Literature, and the South African NationD Johnson

Imagining the Cape Colony revisits a key phase of South African history – the period 1770-1830, when the American Revolution of 1776 and the French Revolution of 1789 produced the most in� uential forms of the modern nation state. The book addresses current debates in postcolonial studies about settler nationalism, anti-colonial resistance and the imprint of 18th-century colonial histories on contemporary neo-colonial politics through the lens of writers of the time, such as François Levaillant and Lady Anne Barnard, and � gures on the margins of colonial history, like settler rebels, slaves and early African nationalists.

The book also looks at imaginings of the post-apartheid South African nation and how they in� uence readings of the 18th-century history of the Cape Colony, with extensive commentaries on literature and history associated with the Thabo Mbeki presidency given particular attention.

Just transitionsExplorations of sustainability in an unfair worldM Swilling & E Annecke

Current economic growth strategies around the world are rapidly depleting natural resources and eco-systems. Just Transitions provides an overview of these challenges from a global South perspective. How do developing countries eradicate poverty via economic development while encountering the consequences of global warming and dwindling supplies of clean water, productive soils, cheap oil, minerals and other resources?

2012230 pagesSoft coverPrint: 978 1 92049 975 4Southern African rights R250



This book considers a just transition which reconciles the sustainable use of nature resources with a pervasive commitment to su� ciency (where over-consumers are satis� ed with less so that under-consumers can secure enough). It synthesises a range of di� erent literatures to illuminate new ways of thinking from a sustainability perspective. It rethinks development with special reference to the greening of the developmental state, explores the key role that cities could play in the transition to a more sustainably urbanised world, highlights the neglect of soils and examines the potential of sustainable agriculture to feed the world. Case studies drawn from Africa detail the challenges, but they are set in the context of global trends. The authors conclude with their experience of building a community that aspires to live sustainably.

Recommended forPolicy-makers (politicians, government o� cials), business leaders and entrepreneurs, students of sustainability science and development economics, academics and researchers across a wide range of disciplines, development practitioners involved in a wide range of sectors and media workers.

Rethinking agingGrowing old and living well in an overtreated societyN Hadler

For those fortunate enough to reside in the developed world, death before reaching a ripe old age is a tragedy, not a fact of life. Although aging and dying are not diseases, older citizens are subject to the most egregious marketing in the name of ‘successful aging’ and ‘long life’, as if both are commodities. In Rethinking Aging, Nortin M. Hadler examines health-care choices o� ered to aging individuals and argues that too often the choices serve to pro� t the provider rather than bene� t the recipient, leading to the medicalisation of everyday ailments and blatant overtreatment. Rethinking Aging forewarns and arms readers with evidence-based insights that facilitate health-promoting decision-making.

Over the past decade, Hadler has established himself as a leading voice among those who approach the menu of health-care choices with informed scepticism. Only the rigorous demonstration of e� cacy is adequate reassurance of a treatment’s value, he argues; if it cannot be shown that a particular treatment will bene� t the patient, one should proceed with caution. In Rethinking Aging, Hadler o� ers a doctor’s perspective on the medical literature as well as his long clinical experience to help readers assess their health-care options and make informed medical choices in the last decades of life. The challenges of aging and dying, he eloquently assures us, can be faced with sophistication, con� dence and grace.

Rural resistance in South AfricaThe Mpondo Revolts after Fifty YearsEditors: L Ntsebeza & T Kepe

Much has been written about anti-apartheid resistance by the marginalised people of South Africa, as well as its violent repression by security forces in urban areas (such as the Sharpeville massacre and the Soweto riots). But very little attention has been paid to resistance by rural people. The Mpondo Revolts, which began in the 1950s and reached a climax in 1960, rank among the most signi� cant rural resistances in South Africa. During this period Mpondo villagers emphatically rejected the introduction of Bantu Authorities and unpopular rural land-use planning that meant loss of land, and many lost their lives as a result. This volume presents a fresh understanding of the uprising as well as its meaning and signi� cance then and now, particularly relating to land, rural governance, party politics and the agency of the marginalised.

Recommended forHistorians, students and academics in African history, human rights, land rights and political studies, and a general readership.

Sex, genes and rock ‘n’ rollHow evolution has shaped the modern worldR Brooks

Why are people getting fatter? Why do so many rock stars end up dead at 27? Is there any hope of curbing population growth, rampant consumerism and the environmental devastation they wreak?

Evolutionary biologist Rob Brooks argues that the origins of these twenty-� rst century problems can be found where the ancient forces of evolution collide with modern culture and economics.

In Sex, Genes and Rock ‘n’ Roll Brooks illustrates how evolution stands alongside economics, anthropology, psychology and political science in shaping our world, and a� ects important aspects of our life, from falling in love to making music, our obsession with rock ‘n roll, sexual con� ict, fertility, obesity, consumption, ageing and more.

‘Engaging and witty … His science is good, his writing is clear, and his policy suggestions would make the world a better place. A must-read for the evo-curious.’ – Geo� rey Miller, author of The Mating Mind and Spend: Sex, Evolution and Consumer Behaviour.

and particularly in the light of recent discoveries in brain and behavioural science, but also taking a public health view. Its focus ranges from brain imaging and dopaminergic neurocircuitry to policy and prevention. In South Africa in particular, tik (crystal meth, or methamphetamine) and alcohol are devastating society, aggravating poverty and crime, and contributing to child abuse and gender violence. Substance Use and Abuse is the � rst book to address the nature of this problem in an integrated way, written by local researchers at the forefront of this subject.

Traditional African religions in South African lawEditor: T Bennett

Traditional African beliefs, together with African cultural traditions, are enjoying a new-found respect in South Africa, due in large part to the advent of the country’s democratic constitution. Even so, Traditional African Religion is poorly understood and, in spite of constitutional guarantees, receives far from equal treatment, a situation quite at odds with the country’s commitment to equality and religious and cultural diversity. Throughout Africa, there is a strong tendency to equate indigenous beliefs with culture. And because religion is always taken more seriously than culture, this means that traditional beliefs do not attract the respect they deserve.

The overall purpose of this book is to consider whether indigenous African religions, independent African churches and traditional practices such as traditional healing, witchcraft, animal sacri� ce, circumcision, marriage and burial deserve constitutional protection and recognition by the state. This book thus explores the legal and constitutional implications of traditional religion and, in particular, the state’s intervention in them.

The unbearable whiteness of beingFarmers’ voices from ZimbabweR Pilossof

The history of colonial land alienation, the grievances fuelling the liberation war, and post-independence land reforms have all been grist to the mill of recent scholarship on Zimbabwe. Yet for all the attention the country’s white farmers have received from academics and journalists, the fact that they themselves have played a dynamic role in cataloguing and representing their own a� airs has gone unremarked. It is this crucial dimension that Rory Pilossof explores in The Unbearable Whiteness of Being. His examination of farmers’ voices – in The Farmer magazine, in memoirs, and in recent interviews – reveals continuities as well as breaks in their relationships with land, belonging and race.

His focus on the Liberation War, Operation Gukurahundi and the post-2000 land invasions frames a nuanced understanding of how white farmers engaged with the land and its peoples, and the political changes of the last 40 years. The Unbearable Whiteness of Being helps to explain why many of the events in the countryside unfolded in the ways they did.

‘With honesty, integrity and, above all, without sentimentality, Rory Pilossof meticulously details how the spectre of war was resurrected by the Zimbabwean government and in the minds of white farmers during the violent farmer occupations after 2000’ – Jan-Bart Gewald, Senior Researcher, African Studies Centre, Leiden

‘This absorbing account of white farmers’ voices is one of the very best books on land and identities to have appeared for many years’ – Ian Phimister, Professor of International History, University of She� eld

Youth violence Sources and solutions in South AfricaEditors: C Ward, A Dawes & A van der Merwe

Youth violence: Sources and solutions in South Africa thoroughly and carefully reviews the evidence for risk and protective factors that in� uence the likelihood of young people acting aggressively. Layers of understanding are built by viewing the problem from a multitude of perspectives, including the current situation in which South African youth are growing up, perspectives from developmental psychology, the in� uences of race, class and gender, and of the media. The book examines the evidence for e� ective interventions in the contexts of young people’s lives – their homes, their schools, their leisure activities, with gangs, in the criminal justice system, in cities and neighbourhoods, and with sexual o� enders. In doing so, thoughtful suggestions are made for keeping an evidence-based perspective while (necessarily) adapting interventions for developing world contexts, such as South Africa. Youth violence: Sources and solutions in South Africa is a valuable addition to the library of anyone who has ever wondered about youth violence, or wanted to do something about it.

African women building houses and communitiesThe Victoria Mxenge Housing ProjectS Ismail

At the beginning of South Africa’s democratic change in 1994, a group of 30 women who lived in shacks on the barren outskirts of Cape Town started the Victoria Mxenge Housing Project. This once-desolate piece of land is now a thriving, sustainable community of more than 5 000 houses.

Through the stories of these women, the author describes how they became their own providers in a context where the state did not live up to its social responsibilities. She presents the value of adult education in the developing world and highlights the importance of local and traditional knowledge, experiential learning, and learning in an informal context. This book taps into the growing international interest in social learning in the context of social movements.

Recommended forAcademics and students in the disciplines of adult education, development, social movements and gender studies; NGOs involved in housing; social activists and development practitioners.

Being ‘at home’ everywhereThe individual in the novels of Nuruddin FarahF Moolla

One of the most important modern African writers is the Somali novelist, Nuruddin Farah, whose oeuvre seems to encompass the history of the novel. The central question this book investigates is the apparently mutually constitutive relationship of modern identity and the genre of the novel. This book inserts the investigation within the matrix of Somali culture, orature, history, politics and religion that dominates the novels. What distinguishes Farah from many other male African writers is his representation of female subjectivity. Farah’s feminism is in� ected in this work through the inquiry into the constitution of the individual. The book � nally suggests that through his literary negotiation of the central contradiction of modern identity, Farah comes close to constituting a subject who no longer is transcendentally ‘homeless’, but � nds a home ‘everywhere’ – a � tting project for a writer who has been in exile for the greater part of his life.

Cape of flamesScience, society and wildlife on South Africa’s Cape Peninsula, 1900-2000S Pooley

In January 2000, two wild� res torched more than 8 000 ha of the Cape Peninsula, swept through the Table Mountain National Park, and burned houses and property. There were more than 120 � res in the region on that one ‘� re-storm Sunday’. The challenges faced in the Cape are shared by major cities and nature reserves in similar Mediterranean-type ecosystems in the USA, Australia and Mediterranean Europe. They have become a global, and a local, research and management challenge.

In Cape of Flames the author tackles the environmental and social challenges of � re management on the wildland-urban interface of South Africa’s Cape Peninsula, where a UNESCO World Heritage Site for Nature protects the unique fynbos vegetation and incorporates the iconic Table Mountain, and abuts the suburbs, townships and informal settlements of South Africa’s parliamentary capital. He combines narrative history, innovative use of a wide range of sources, descriptive statistics, a detailed understanding of the history of ecological science in the region and the role of � re in fynbos ecology, to provide the � rst integrated history of wild� re and its management on the Cape Peninsula.

This book demonstrates the contribution environmental history can make, through combining scienti� c and social approaches, to understanding past environments and managing the environment today. It is a seminal contribution to a neglected area of South African history, but also o� ers an important contribution to global histories of � re.

Recommended forEcologists, historians, biologists, policy-makers and the general public interested in ecosystems and the Cape’s natural environment.

Conceptual blending and pedagogic analysisEditor: W Hugo

The act of teaching and learning involves the basic but crucial skill of compressing di� erent issues and skills into examples that carry the complexity in a simple and condensed way. We have all experienced the teacher who somehow has the knack of using key examples to illustrate a situation and show the basic logics behind it that result in ‘aha’ moments for the student. You will struggle to � nd any account of what the actual mechanisms behind this ‘knack’ are, especially across di� erent subjects. This book maps out how teachers work with complex knowledge structures and make them simple and understandable, by explicitly and carefully analysing the foundational act of conceptual blending, where a bridge is created between something we already understand and something we don’t, enabling a qualitative shift in understanding. It shows how this is done across subjects such as history, economics, English, medicine, physics and maths.

This book is highly relevant in a context where there is much debate and rhetoric around the falling quality of teaching without much careful analysis of the actual pedagogic act. A book that both theorises a fundamental pedagogic action and shows how it works in practice across a number of subject areas is therefore a key addition to current education literature.

Recommended forTeachers at secondary and tertiary level, and students of education.

About the editorWayne Hugo is a Professor in Education at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. He has a particular interest in describing how teaching and learning happens and in improving the process. He has written numerous journal articles and has contributed to several books on pedagogy and learning.

Domestic work is a signi� cant sector of the global labour market (there are about 1 million domestic workers in South Africa, 50-100 million worldwide). It is a predominantly female sector, often the only port of entry for them to the labour market. It is generally unregulated or ine� ectively regulated, resulting in widespread exploitation and abuse of large numbers of working women. It is also essential, in that domestic workers make it possible for their employers to participate in the formal economy.

In June 2011, the International Labour Organisation adopted a Convention and a Recommendation creating a minimum framework for regulating domestic employment. Given the nature of the sector, however, there are huge challenges and many unanswered questions in the quest to protect the rights of domestic workers and place them in a position similar to that of other workers. This book addresses the most important of these questions.

It is based on research conducted by the Domestic Workers’ Research Project at the Faculty of Law, University of the Western Cape, from 2009 to 2012. The project operated in the context of an international network of researchers with contributions by leading experts in the � eld as well as direct input from domestic workers and their organisations.

Many of the most problematic aspects of domestic work are common to much of the informal economy and non-standard employment, which has generated a huge literature in recent decades. Lessons learned in the domestic employment sector may be relevant to addressing more general problems. This book proposes new and original innovations, drawing on international best practice, to improve the e� cacy of regulatory framework in South Africa.

Recommended forAcademics and researchers (including post-graduate students), policy-makers and law-makers in the areas of employment law, social security, human rights, women’s and gender issues, NGOs in these � elds and trade unions, as well as practitioners and consultants operating in these areas.

Falls the shadowHow the South African Constitution is failing those it ismeant to protectEditors: L Nathan, R Calland & K Bentley

South Africa supposedly has one of the best Constitutions in the world, one which is intended to control and constrain the exercise of power by the state so that it does not threaten the liberty and security of its citizens. But, in reality, does the Constitution contribute more to the security of some groups than others? Does it help to ensure certain types of security but not others? And does it have greater impact on some institutions than others? This book describes how the Constitution has a signi� cant impact on the security of South African citizens and communities but that this impact is di� erential.

The chapters in the book explain what accounts for the di� erences, examine the consequences of the di� erent impacts and consider whether there are any general observations and hypotheses that emerge from comparative perspectives.

Recommended forLegal professionals, academics interested in Constitutions, rights and security, students of politics and law, and members of the South African public who have an interest in human rights and their protection under the Constitution.

Foreign policy under pressureSouth Africa’s responses to African crisesA van Nieuwkerk

This critical scholarly examination of the making and implementation of South Africa’s peace diplomacy in Africa o� ers new insights into the dynamics of post-apartheid South Africa’s foreign-policy responses – its making and implementation – in the African setting. The book analyses the complexities of foreign policy-making processes in South Africa from 1994 onwards, and on the basis of interviews with policy-makers and diplomats, examines how the South African government responded to various crises in Africa between 1994 and 2010 – these include Nigeria, Lesotho, Zimbabwe, the DRC, Burundi and Sudan. It draws lessons from these case studies regarding crisis decision-making in the African setting, and o� ers suggested routes for deepening our understanding of foreign policy-making in Africa.

Friend or foe?Dominant party systems in southern AfricaEditors: N de Jager & P du Toit

Within Southern Africa, there is an observable increase in dominant party systems, in which one political party dominates over a prolonged period of time, within a democratic system with regular elections. This party system has replaced the one-party system that dominated Africa’s political landscape after the � rst wave of liberations in the 1950s and 1960s. This book seeks to understand this trend and its implications for southern Africa’s democracies by comparing such systems in southern Africa with others in the developing world (such as India, South Korea and Taiwan). In particular, the case of Zimbabwe stands out as a concerning example of the direction a dominant party can take: regression into authoritarianism. India, South Korea and Taiwan present alternative routes for the dominant party system. The salient question posed by this book is: Which route are Botswana, Namibia and South Africa taking? It answers by drawing conclusions to determine whether these countries are moving towards liberal democracy, authoritarianism or a road in between.

Recommended forAcademics and practitioners in the � elds of political science, party systems, African Studies and the developing world. Educated lay readers interested in the development of democracy in southern Africa and the developing world.

Infant and child development in AfricaThe current state of the fieldEditors: M Tomlinson & A Samero�

While 90% of the 135 million infants born in the world each year live in low-income or developing countries, in a recent survey only 4% of the articles in 12 major international infancy and developmental journals were found to address the experience of infants living in the developing world. Yet, in conditions of extreme poverty and instability, conditions characteristic of Africa, the pressures on parents di� er markedly from those facing parents in communities that are typically the focus of research in child development. The dearth of literature in this area is now addressed in this timely book.

This volume o� ers a broad, contextualised understanding of the factors that impact upon infant and child development in Africa. It is Africa-wide in its scope, with case studies in Uganda, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Kenya, Nigeria, Malawi and South Africa.

Recommended forAcademics and practitioners in psychology, including developmental psychology, child clinical psychology, developmental psychopathology, psychiatry, human ecology, and those in schools of education. It will also be of interest to nurses and paediatricians, health workers and for those active in early childhood development.

Post-conflict reconstruction and developmentin AfricaPerspectives on the military experienceEditors: T Neethling & H Hudson

Despite some 20 peace-building operations in Africa in the last 25 years (Namibia 1989 to Darfur 2007) there is still a signi� cant lack of cohesive strategy for the regeneration of a con� ict-ridden country. The concept of peace-building is still considered to be an ‘experiment’ in terms of micro policy (such as supervising elections) and macro policy (which may include security sector reform and strengthening governmental institutions) policy.

In 2006 the African Union adopted a Post-Con� ict, Reconstruction and Development Policy Framework. This book seeks to analyse the AU’s approach, addresses the issues it has raised, and considers a South African foreign policy strategy to meet these needs, involving the military as well as civilian organisations. It asks questions such as: What is the role of the SADC Standby Force? How can peace-keeping be brought closer to peace-building? Does an army train its personnel for ‘omni-roles’, or does it set up speci� c divisions with specialised personnel, using civilians? The book studies examples in the DRC, Burundi, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan and Namibia. It examines the role of women in peace-building. And it considers the ethics of PCRD.

A study that concerns the African dynamic is vital in attempting to develop a tangible connection between the missing links in peace-building strategy with viable solutions. This book aims to stimulate strategic thinking about armies in general as foreign actors in peace-building, and in particular the South African army.

Power, wealth and global equity (4th edition)An international relations textbook for AfricaEditor: S Cornelissen

Since 2006, when the bestselling Power, Wealth and Global Equity (3e) was published, much has changed in Africa politically and economically. This revised and updated edition aimed at students taking introductory courses in international relations and African Studies will bring them up to date. Many of the chapters will also appeal to readers interested in contemporary African a� airs, foreign policy, comparative politics, history and political economy.

Challenging the intellectual hegemony of the ‘North’, the authors show what the world and its patterns of power, wealth and privilege/marginalisation look like from an African perspective. They help the reader to understand the origins and dynamics of the structures and institutions, and trans-border political and economic interactions, in Africa today.

An extensive glossary, list of acronyms, maps and biographies of important people mentioned in the text make the information in the book extremely accessible. Teachers of international relations will bene� t from the way in which material has been selected and presented with the educational challenges of young students in mind.

Public works and social protection insouthern AfricaDo publics works work for the poor?A McCord

The prevailing view among donors and government agencies with responsibility for social protection is that Public Works Programmes present a ‘win-win’ situation, providing employment to the chronically poor while also creating assets for the state, and in this way o� ering a welfare transfer which is also a tangible economic investment. But is this view in fact correct? This book critically explores the concept of the Public Works Programme (PWP) and interrogates its social protection performance in the context of chronic poverty. It reviews over 200 PWPs in eastern and southern Africa using original research drawn from extensive � eld analysis, interviews and survey work, and examines case studies of six international PWPs – in India, Argentina, Ireland, Ethiopia, Indonesia and the USA.

The author explores the function and limitations of PWPs, and outlines major programme choice and design issues, drawing lessons from the international context, and challenging the assumptions underlying these policy preferences, thus opening the way for more informed and appropriate policy selection. The book makes a case for a reconsideration of the function of PWPs in the current social protection discourse, and argues that the current PWP approach may not look so attractive from the bene� ciary perspective.

Recommended forAcademics and students in development economics and sociology, policy-makers and -designers, and donor agencies, such as World Bank and DFID.

Of the approximately 50 000 rape cases reported in South Africa every year, 30 000–35 000 simply disappear. The majority are closed by the police: case withdrawn, undetected, unfounded. Prosecutors decline to prosecute approximately half those referred to them. Of the remainder that are prosecuted, around 40% result

in conviction. This translates into an overall conviction rate of 4-8% of reported cases. Through a detailed qualitative review of rape dockets the author provides novel insights into police responses to rape. A key insight from the study is that while stereotypes certainly abound, it is in the process of investigating rape cases that things fall apart. The book shines new light on complainant withdrawals, false rape complaints and police responses to rape.

Sharing benefits from the coastRights, resources and livelihoodsEditors: R Wynberg & M Hauck

Coastal resources are vital for communities in developing countries, many of whom live in abject poverty. These resources also hold signi� cant value for a number of di� erent sectors of the economy, such as mining, � sheries, forestry and tourism, many of which supply expanding global consumer markets. Although these activities provide opportunities for economic and income growth, global patterns indicate growing levels of economic inequality between custodians of these resources and those exploiting them, as well as an increasing incidence in absolute levels of poverty. ‘Bene� t-sharing’ has emerged as a popular term to describe interventions to redress inequalities, and thus alleviate poverty.

Drawing from empirical research in coastal communities across South Africa and Mozambique, this book provides cutting-edge analyses of and new conceptual approaches to these issues. It aims to enhance an understanding of why bene� ts are distributed in the way they are, the main blockages preventing greater equity, and strategies for more equitable bene� t-sharing. The � ndings have relevance and application for coastal livelihoods, rural governance and resource sustainability, not only in these countries but across the world in a context where community rights are increasingly undermined by land-grabbing, unequal power relations and externally driven development interventions.

Southern African liberation strugglesNew local, regional and global perspectivesEditors: H Sapire & C Saunders

There has been a recent outpouring of memoirs and biographies of the ‘great men’ of the southern African liberation movements. But the writing of critical, re� ective histories of these movements is still in its infancy. This collection of essays illustrates the intertwined histories of southern African liberation struggles and international solidarity movements from the 1960s to 1994, re� ecting the new directions taken by local scholars and those writing from abroad.

Unlike the many hagiographic, justi� catory or partisan accounts that have been published, this collection of essays examines the � ssures and tensions that existed within them and seeks to present nuanced accounts of the international solidarity movements that � ourished alongside the southern African liberation and exile movements.

The collection’s uniqueness lies in drawing together internal and external struggles in exile. It provides new insights into the relationships that exiles and guerrillas developed with host societies and solidarity organisations, both within the southern African region, and in the United Kingdom.

Recommended forAcademics and students of history and politics, and African Studies. The educated lay reader interested in the recent history of southern Africa.

Towards employment-intensive growth inSouth AfricaEditor: A Black

It is widely accepted that unemployment is South Africa’s central problem. The high rate of unemployment (25%) makes South Africa a complete outlier compared to other middle income countries. Indeed, the unemployment rate rises to 33% if a broader de� nition, which takes account of discouraged workers, is used. The exceptionally high rate of unemployment underpins extreme poverty and inequality and is a major contributor to social dislocation. If it were not for increased social payments, poverty would have continued to increase since the advent of democracy in 1994. Unemployment also represents a huge cost to growth.

The objective of this book is to focus on the growth path of the economy. The starting point is that while more rapid economic expansion is an important objective, at any given level of growth, the economy as a whole needs to become more labour-absorbing. The central question posed is how to bring about changes in the economic structure and pattern of development, which would lead to the attainment of this objective.

The book argues that employment needs to be much more centrally positioned within the economic and social policy arena. It emphasises innovative approaches within a broader focus on the growth path and employment-intensive growth and argues that the negative impact of previous ‘distortions’ requires much more than a levelling of the playing � eld via market-based reforms. Apart from presenting a composite picture of an alternative growth path which could start to shift the economy in new directions, the book tackles themes which have received only limited attention, such as wage subsidies, youth unemployment and employment growth in rural areas.

Recommended forPolicy-makers and academics in the area of economics, development studies and land reform.

Burdened by raceColoured identities in southern AfricaM Adhikari

Burdened by Race showcases recent innovative research and writing on coloured identity in southern Africa. Drawing on a wide range of disciplines and applying fresh theoretical insights, the book brings new levels of understanding to processes of coloured self-identi� cation. This collection also breaks virgin ground by examining diverse manifestations of colouredness across the region, using interlinking themes and case studies from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi to present analyses that both challenge and overturn much of the conventional wisdom around the identity in the current literature.

Circular migration in Zimbabwe and contemporary sub-Saharan AfricaD Potts

An authoritative and insightful analysis of migration patterns and trends in sub-Saharan Africa. A key objective of the study is to show how the nature and extent of migration to, and from, African cities responds or adapts particularly to changing economic circumstances. In so doing, the study documents how and why patterns of circular migration between rural and urban areas persist, even when these patterns are not institutionally enforced.

The empirical core of the work is on migration in Zimbabwe, analysed in the context of the post-independence period through to the crises in the 2000s. The study, based on primary data collected in surveys and through focus group discussions, o� ers a descriptively rich and textured analysis of the characteristics of migrants, their attitudes to migration and their rural links, and how these changed as conditions in Zimbabwe deteriorated.

HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan AfricaUnderstanding the implications of culture & contextEditors: J Baxen & A Breidlid

HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa explores the various contexts in which debate about HIV/AIDS takes place and examines how the pandemic is perceived by scholars, religious leaders and traditional healers, among others – in communities in and around South Africa. Using a social theory lens, the book focuses on not only the cultural and contextual practices, but also the methodological and epistemological orientations around HIV/AIDS in education that shape community and invididual interpretations of this disease.

Knowledge in the bloodConfronting race and the apartheid pastJ D Jansen

How is it that young Afrikaners, born at the time of Mandela’s release from prison hold � rm views about a past they never lived, rigid ideas about black people and fatalistic thoughts about the future? This book describes how white South African students remember and enact an apartheid past of which they were never part. Jonathan Jansen, the � rst black Dean of Education at the historically white University of Pretoria, was dogged by this question during his tenure at Tukkies, and Knowledge in the Blood seeks to answer it.

Raw life, new hopeDecency, housing and everyday life in a post-apartheid communityF Ross

The Cape Flats, that windswept, treeless, barren, sandy area between two oceans at Africa’s southern tip, is home to more than a million people, approximately one quarter of Cape Town’s population. Many live in the sprawling shack settlements that ring the city. The post-apartheid state is attempting to eradicate such settlements by providing formal houses in planned residential estates. Raw Life, New Hope describes, over 17 years, the lives of the residents of one such shack settlement, The Park, who moved to new, ‘formal’ houses in The Village, at the turn of the millennium.

Moving peopleSustainable Transport Development P Cox

The impacts of transport on local and global environments are more apparent than ever before. This book provides an attention-grabbing introduction to sustainable transport development in practice via a series of case studies. Re-assessing the value and importance of non-motorised transport, it raises questions about the whole nature of development as a process. It advocates low-impact technologies and sustainable transport and shows how they make a practical contribution to post-development discourses.

The case studies come from across the globe, both North and South (Bogota, Delhi, Jakarta, China and South Africa). The book demonstrates that achieving equity and sustainability will require profound transformation in the industrialised nations as much as in developing economies.

Food rebellionsCrisis and the hunger for justiceE Holt-Giménez & R Patel

In this very timely book, two of the world’s most prominent critics of the global food system, Eric Holt-Giménez and Raj Patel, dissect the causes of hunger and the food price crisis, locating them in a political economy of capitalist industrial production dominated by corporations and driven by the search for pro� ts for the few instead of the welfare of the many.

Portfolios of the poorHow the world’s poor live on $2 a dayD Collins, J Morduch, S Rutherford & O Ruthven

Based on the year-long ‘� nancial diaries’ of villages and slum dwellers in Bangladesh, India and South Africa (in Johannesburg, Cape Town and rural Eastern Cape), the authors report on how very poor households manage their money. The stories of these families are often surprising and inspiring. Instead of living hand to mouth, they employ � nancial tools, many linked to informal networks and family ties. They push money into savings for reserves, squeeze money out of creditors whenever possible, run sophisticated savings clubs, and use micro-� nancing wherever available. Their experiences reveal new methods to � ght poverty and ways to envision the next generation of banks for the ‘bottom billion’.

Mad dogs and meerkatsA history of resurgent rabies in South AfricaK Brown

This highly readable book is the � rst study of rabies in Africa, tracing its history in South Africa and neighbouring countries from 1800 to the present and showing how environmental and economic changes brought about by European colonialism and global trade have had long-term e� ects.

Reviewing the current status of rabies, the author links the increase of rabies to the HIV/AIDS epidemic and a dangerous rise in feral dog populations. Most victims are poor, black children. Ine� ective disease control, which in part depends on management policies in neighbouring countries, and the diminished medical and veterinary infrastructures in Zimbabwe, have exacerbated the problem.

Taking action on climate changeLong term mitigation scenarios for South AfricaH Winkler

Dr Harald Winkler is an internationally renowned expert on climate change, based at the Energy Research Centre at the University of Cape Town. In 2007 he was approached by South Africa’s Department of the Environment to head a project to research and develop scenarios for reducing greenhouse gas emissions that would form the basis for a national, long-term climate policy as well as well-founded positions for international negotiations on the future of global climate policy after 2012. This book is based on his report. As a result, in July 2008, Cabinet agreed on an ambitious plan to limit temperature increase to 2ºC above preindustrial levels. In the long term the goal is to move to a low-carbon economy, setting more ambitious domestic targets for energy e� ciency, renewables and transport.

The anatomy of a South African genocideThe extermination of the Cape San peoplesM Adhikari

During the 18th and 19th centuries, Dutch-speaking pastoralists who in� ltrated the Cape interior dispossessed its aboriginal inhabitants and damaged the environment with their destructive farming and hunting practices. In response to indigenous resistance colonists formed armed, mounted militia units known as commandos with the express purpose of destroying San bands. This ensured the virtual extinction of the Cape San peoples. In 1998 David Kruiper, the leader of the ≠Khomani San who today live in the Kalahari Desert, lamented ‘… we have been made into nothing’. The author argues that their fate amounted to genocide because there was clear intent to eradicate San society which, as a result of settler violence, was no longer able to reproduce itself biologically or culturally. This book explores the history of the genocide and its modern outcome.

Beer, sociability and masculinity in South AfricaA Kelk Mager

Beer connects commercial, social, and political history in this sobering look at the culture of drinking in South Africa. Beginning where stories of colonial liquor control and exploitation leave o� , Anne Kelk Mager looks at the current commerce of beer, its valorising of male sociability and sports, and the corporate culture of South African Breweries (SAB), the world’s most successful brewing company. Mager shows how the industry, dominated by a single brewer, was compelled to comply with legislation that divided customers along racial lines, but also promoted images of multi-racial social drinking in the � nal years of apartheid. Since the transition to majority rule, SAB has rapidly expanded into new markets—including the United States with the purchase of Miller Brewing Company. This lively book a� ords a unique view into global manufacturing, monopolies, politics and public culture, race relations and cold beer.

When the indigenous Herero people rebelled in 1904 the colonisers retaliated with utmost brutality that caused the most egregious human rights catastrophe. An extermination order (Vernichtungsbefehl) was issued. In a very short time, between 60 000 and 100 000 Herero people, almost all civilians, many women and children, were killed by bullets, clubs, hanging, or by burning their huts. Many were forced into the desert to die by starvation, thirst or by drinking water at poisoned water wells. Thousands were condemned to slavery in concentration camps with a very high mortality rate. Herero women were forced to become ‘comfort women’.

Germany’s genocide of the Herero argues that the genocide was not the work of a rogue army general or the practices of the German military in general, but resulted from German colonial policy. It suggests that causal factors included the colony’s status as ‘New Germany’, which precluded the option of military, economic or social failure; the desire to acquire Herero land and cattle, rebuild German pride, and ful� l Germany’s racist ideology; and an order from the Kaiser himself.

Written culture in a colonial contextAfrica and the Americas 1500-1900Editors: A Delmas & N Penn

There is very little in the modern literature on the history of written culture that describes the speci� c practices related to writing that were anchored in colonial contexts. It was not just ships, soldiers, missionaries and settlers that drove the process of European expansion from the 16th to the 19th centuries. The circulation of images, manuscripts and books between di� erent continents played a key role too. This book explores the extent to which the types of written information that resulted during colonial expansion shaped the numerous and complex processes of cultural exchange from the 16th century onwards in Africa and the Americas.

Access to knowledge in AfricaThe role of copyrightEditors: C Armstrong, J de Beer, D Kawooya, A Prabhala & T Schonwetter

The emergence of the Internet and the digital world has changed the way people access, produce and share information and knowledge. Yet people in Africa face challenges in accessing scholarly publications, journals and learning materials in general. At the heart of these challenges, and solutions to them, is copyright, the branch of intellectual property rights that covers written and related works. This book gives the reader an understanding of the legal and practical issues posed by copyright for access to learning materials in Africa, and identi� es the relevant lessons, best policies and best practices that would broaden and deepen this access. This book is based on the work of the African Copyright and Access to Knowledge (ACA2K) research network, launched in late 2007 as a network of researchers committed to probing the relationship between copyright and learning materials access in eight African countries: Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, Mozambique, Senegal, South Africa and Uganda.

Dance of lifeThe novels of Zakes Mda in post-apartheid South AfricaG Fincham

In recent years, the work of Zakes Mda – novelist, painter, composer, theatre director and � lm-maker – has attracted worldwide critical attention. As a novelist he writes about social identity in the ‘new’ South Africa and it is the versions of this identity that Gail Fincham’s book explores, examining the seven novels Mda has written since South Africa’s transition to democracy. His explorations of re� gured identity are rooted in his strongly painterly imagination which teaches his readers how to see anew by creating changed spaces in memory and culture.

A dictionary of South African Indian EnglishR Mesthrie

South African Indian English (or SAIE) is one of the better-known varieties of English in the Linguistics literature. It arose out of a language shift that occurred when Indians were denied full access to the norms of standard English, partly because of the colonial and especially apartheid in� uences in South African society and education after the arrival of Indians in South Africa in the late 19th century.

In South Africa, SAIE has been an important dialect, especially in KwaZulu-Natal. It is increasingly found in plays and novels and is used by the advertising industry in South Africa. Where would South African cuisine be without roti, biryani, dhania and bunny chow? And where would South African slang be without SAIE terms like larney, lucker and charras (or chaar ous)?

Tabloid journalism in South AfricaH Wasserman

Less than a decade after the advent of democracy in South Africa, tabloid newspapers have taken the country by storm. One of these papers—the Daily Sun—is now the largest in the country, but it has generated controversy for its perceived lack of respect for privacy, brazen sexual content, and unrestrained truth-stretching. Herman Wasserman examines the success of tabloid journalism in South Africa at a time when global print media are in decline. He considers the social signi� cance of the tabloids and how they play a role in integrating readers and their daily struggles with the political and social sphere of the new democracy. Wasserman shows how these papers have found an important niche in popular and civic culture largely ignored by the mainstream media and formal political channels.

South Africa and contemporary counterinsurgencyRoots, practices, prospectsEditors: D Baker & E Jordaan

Since the events of 11 September 2001, insurgency – an organised movement aimed at the overthrow of a constituted government, the pursuance of speci� c political objectives or the control of a speci� c territory through the use of subversion and armed con� ict – has moved into academic focus once again, and insurgency and terrorism now top the international security agenda.

The South African Army, an important role-player on the African continent, is preparing itself for the future and has commissioned this study on counterinsurgency, which aims to aid the likely future threat environment.

South Africa pushed to the limitThe political economy of changeH Marais

Close to half the South African population lives in poverty, jobs are scarce, and the country is more unequal than ever. In its wide-ranging, incisive and provocative analysis, South Africa Pushed to the Limit shows that although the legacies of apartheid and colonialism weigh heavy, many of the strategic choices made since the early 1990s have compounded those handicaps. Building on his acclaimed book Limits to Change, Marais examines South Africa’s most pressing issues – from the real reasons behind President Jacob Zuma’s rise and the purging of his predecessor, Thabo Mbeki, to piercing analyses of the country’s continuing AIDS crisis, its economic path and the changes wrought in the world of work. South Africa Pushed to the Limit presents a riveting, benchmark analysis of the incomplete journey beyond apartheid.

Walk with us and listenPolitical reconciliation in AfricaC Villa-VicencioForeword by Desmond Tutu

The process of moving from situations of entrenched oppression, armed con� ict and open warfare towards peace and reconciliation requires a series of small steps and compromises to open the way for the kind of dialogue and negotiation that makes political stability, the beginning of democracy and the rule of law a possibility. In this book, political reconciliation is o� ered as a cautious model against which transitional politics needs to be measured. Villa-Vicencio challenges those who stress the obligation to prosecute those allegedly guilty of gross violation of human rights, replacing this call with the need for more complementarity between the International Criminal Court and African mechanisms to achieve the greater goals of justice and peace-building.

• Please specify the ISBN, titles and quantities that you want to return.

• Please give reasons for wanting to return the publications.

• If we grant permission, our Returns Administrator will send you an o� cial Returns Authorisation. When you receive this, you may return the publications.

• If we refuse permission, one of our marketing staff will write to you giving our reasons for turning down your application.

• A copy of the Returns Authorisation or the relevant Returns Authorisation reference number must accompany all your returns, otherwise we will not pass credit.

• We will only accept goods in mint condition, without any stickers and markings.

• Returns Authorisations are only valid for 30 days from date of issue.

• We will only consider applications to return publications bought in the 12 months preceding the date of invoice.

• Customers can return up to a maximum of 10% of invoiced sales per order.

• If the return is not due to our error, you must prepay carriage for all returns. If the return is due to our error, we will arrange return at our expense through a carrier of our choice.
