Alexandra-A History
Phillip Bonner, Noor Nieftagodien
Summary
Alexandra -A History is a social history of one of South Africas oldest townships. It covers the period from the
townships founding in 1912, when it was perceived as a peri-urban outpost, through to its growth as a center of
black working class life in the heart of Johannesburg, to the post-apartheid era. Declared as a location for
'natives and coloureds,' Alexandra became home to a diverse population where home-owners, tenants,
squatters, hostel-dwellers, workers and migrants drawn from every corner of the country converged to make a
life in the city. The stories of ordinary people are at the core of the townships history. Based on scores of life
history interviews, the book portrays in vivid detail the daily struggles and tribulation of Alexandrans. A focus
point is the rich history of political resistance, in which civic movements and political organizations -such as the
ANC, Communist Party and socialist organizations like the Movement for Democracy of Content-organized bus
Witwatersrand University boycotts, anti-removal and anti-pass campaigns, and mobilized for housing and a better life for residents....

Alexandria
A City and Myth
Niall Finneran
Summary
Alexandria was one of the most important cities of the ancient world, with achievements in the arts, sciences,
and religion. Niall Finneran seeks to understand the wider picture, the longer period of evolution as a city, as
both an urban concept and a literary and historical ideal. He does this by bringing together the disciplines of
archaeology, anthropology, history, geography, oral history, art, and literature. As a result, Alexandria is seen as
a unique example of African urbanism, an Egyptian city facing the wider Mediterranean world, which became an
archetype for social, religious, and cultural cosmopolitanism.

Egypt's African Empire

Samuel Baker, Charles Gordon and the Creation of Equatoria
Alice Moore-Harell
Summary
This book is a detailed and original study of the creation of the province of Equatoria, located in present-day
Southern Sudan. No detailed account has previously been published on the effort to conquer and create a new
Egyptian province in the 1870s in the interior of Africa, despite its importance to the history of the on-going
north-south conflict in the Sudan. … The annexation of Equatoria emerged from the Khedive (viceroy) Ismail's
aspiration for an African empire that would control the source of the White Nile at Lake Victoria. At the time he
was under pressure from the British government to suppress the lucrative slave trade in the Turco-Egyptian
Sudan, and to this end the new province was to be under direct control of Cairo and not the authorities in
Khartoum. … The two conquering expeditions of Equatoria were led by Britons, Samuel Baker and Charles Gordon
(later Governor-General of the Sudan). With them were other Europeans, Americans, Sudanese and Egyptians.

MAGIC & MYST IN ANCIENT EGYPT

Christian Jacq
Summary
Folklore, temple and tomb paintings, and hieroglyphic texts are drawn upon to explore the potent and pervading
legacy of magic and ritual in ancient Egypt, a legacy that has survived to the present day. To the Egyptians,
magic was an exact science with rules that were necessarily observed to placate the gods, ensure good fortune,
cure the sick, and guarantee a safe passage through the underworld. This book provides insight into the full
meaning of rituals that were designed to ensure health and happiness, preserve life, and smooth the moments of
passage-birth, marriage, death, and the continuum of years.

Nefertiti: A Novel
When Nefertiti, the Egyptian Queen, Met the American General "Ike" Eisenhower
Dov Bahat
Summary
This novel started 3,300 years ago in Egypt and continues to World War II Germany, juxtaposing two love
stories, an ancient and a modern one. The romance evolves through the lives of two families in ancient Egypt.
One is King Akhenaten, the almighty Pharaoh, and his wife Nefertiti and their descendants; the second is Ror, a
lower-class family whose son Tuthmosis became a talented sculptor. Nefertiti was the most beautiful woman in
the world, and a competition was introduced to all artists of Egypt to make the most impressive sculpture of the
queen. Tuthmosis created her immortal, beautiful bust, and Nefertiti fell in love with the genius sculptor. The
sculpture was then discovered in 1912 by Borchardt, a German archeologist with the Berlin Museum. The young,
talented Dr. Klopshtock was appointed to head the Museum team whose task was to investigate and gather
every possible piece of information on the admired queen; as he was so dedicated to his work, he gradually fell in

Pharaoh's Flowers (2nd Edition)

The Botanical Treasures of Tutankhamun
F. Nigel Hepper
Summary
As the golden face of Tutankhamun was found garlanded with fresh flowers exquisitely preserved for 3,000
years, the plants of ancient Egypt are brought back to life in this botanical exploration of the Pharaoh's tomb.
Usually ignored by grave robbers intent on gold, the baskets, fabrics, papyri, timber, unguent vases, and model
granaries filled to the brim with seeds that were buried with Tutankhamun have survived, completely intact, and
each chapter of the book carries detailed descriptions of the plant species found or represented in the tomb,
including emmer, fenugreek, chickpea, and types of reed and grass. F. Nigel Hepper groups the plants according
to their uses, with categories such as Flowers and Leaves; Oils, Resins, and Perfumes; and Papyrus, Flax, and
KWS Publishers Other Fibrous Plants. This new edition of the fascinating book that was first published in 1990 has been fully

The Egyptian Book of the Dead

The Book of Going Forth by Day
James Wasserman, Ogden Goelet, Carol Andrews, Raym...
Summary
The ancient purpose of the funerary papyrus known as Book of the Dead of Ani was to guide the Egyptian soul to
the afterlife, and the iconic text of the ancient culture is presented here for the first time as a single volume.
The original is 78 feet in total length and 3,500 years old; this presentation contains the original facsimile edition
from 1890. The hieroglyphic text and vignettes are juxtaposed with the English translation of each chapter on
the same page that the Egyptian text occurs. The power, wisdom, and spiritual vision offered in its pages goes
back to the spiritual and cultural roots of humanity. This beautiful artifact will be a prized possession for those
interested in the world of ancient Egypt-and in the beginnings of civilization itself.

A Swamp Full of Dollars

Pipelines and Paramilitaries at Nigeria's Oil Frontier
Michael Peel
Summary
The largest U.S. trading partner in sub-Saharan Africa, petroleum-rich Nigeria exports half its daily oil production
to the United States. Like many African nations with natural resources coveted by the world's superpowers, the
country has been shaped by foreign investment and intervention, conflicts among hundreds of ethnic and
religious groups, and greed. Polio has boomed along with petroleum, small villages face off with giant oil
companies, and scooter drivers run their own ministates. The oil-rich Niger Delta region at the heart of it all is a
trouble spot as hot as the local pepper soup.
Blending vivid reportage, history, and investigative journalism, in A Swamp Full of Dollars journalist Michael Peel
tells the story of this extraordinary country, which grows ever more wild and lawless by the day as its refined

Summary
This collection of oral histories reveals the struggles of 10 Namibians in surviving 23 years of war and moving
forward with their lives in the aftermath. As this book reveals, though most had endured hardship and hunger
and witnessed terrible cruelty and suffering, their outlooks were triumphant and optimistic, and their stories are
full of enthusiasm, energy, determination, and purpose. These inspiring stories are representative of a whole
generation of Namibians who matured in the struggle, becoming skilled, disciplined, cosmopolitan, and tough.

Rwanda and the New Scramble for Africa

From Tragedy to Useful Imperial Fiction
Robin Philpot
Summary
Former UN Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali declared to author Robin Philpot that "the Rwandan Genocide
was 100 percent American responsiblity." Yet a more official narrative would have it that horrible Hutu
génocidaires planned and executed a satanic scheme to eliminate nearly one million Tutsis after the Rwandan
presidential plane crashed in the heart of dark Africa on April 6, 1994. Where do these two contradictory
narratives come from? Which is true? Robin Philpot's vast and methodical research, extensive interviews, and
close analysis of events, testimony in courts, and popular writings on the subject show not only that that official
narrative is false, but that it was edified to cover up the causes of the tragedy and to protect the criminals
responsible for it. What's more, to make that story more believable, the storytellers have unfailingly reproduced
the literary traditions, clichés, and metaphors that provided the underpinnings of slavery, the slave-trade, and
Baraka Books colonialism. Nearly 20 years later, the facts about the Rwandan tragedy have been so distorted and the adjudi...

50 People Who Stuffed Up South Africa

Alexander Parker, Zapiro
Summary
Part history and part social commentary, 50 People Who Stuffed Up South Africa is an engrossing and edifying
read that delves into South African politics, war, sport, and culture on its way to answering the question, Who
are the greatest villains, the direst leaders, the foulest corrupters, and the most offensive personalities to have
spread their regrettable influence throughout the land? From Jan van Riebeeck in 1652 to Jacob Zuma in 2012-
via Wouter Basson, P. W. Botha, Shaka, and Schabir Shaik-the book focuses on men (and three women) of
infamy who jeopardized the nation by virtue of their ruinous megalomania (Thabo Mbeki, Cecil Rhodes), foul
convictions (Hendrik Verwoerd, Eugène Terre'Blanche), or, in the author's opinion, general idiocy (Julius Malema,
Alec Erwin). Beyond the obvious political manipulators and historical figures, however, this collection also
includes statesmen and sportsmen of dubious distinction, as well as nonpareil social delinquents such as minibus
Jacana Media taxi drivers.

An Elusive Harvest
Working with Smallholder Farmers in South Africa
David Catling, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu
Summary
Detailing the undocumented work of a pioneering nongovernmental organization that actively supported
disadvantaged farmers during a critical period in the country's history, this rare account unveils the agricultural
developments that enabled South Africa's transformation into a democratic nation. From its conception in the
early 1990s to its untimely demise, this invaluable documentation assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the
Land Development Unit (LDU)-evaluating the organization's philosophy and strategy, management, funding,
methods used in field projects and public-awareness activities and exploring why the LDU proved to be so
vulnerable an institution. Meticulously researched and culturally insightful, this revelatory account is a significant
and important footnote in the often overlooked history of independent agricultural development in South Africa.

Community, Self and Identity

Educating South African University Students for Citizenship
Brenda Leibowitz, Leslie Swartz, Vivienne Bozalek,...
Summary
Education in South Africa is in crisis, and this resource provides an opportunity to learn from a bold experiment in
teaching and learning taking place across two very different universities, one historically black, the other
historically white and Afrikaans. The book purports that as low literacy and numeracy rates, poor discipline, and
a sense of despair pervade the education landscape, educators are called upon to achieve more, with
universities tasked to produce graduates capable of exercising responsible and reflective citizenship in a
competitive and globalizing world. With a mixture of rigorous scholarship, thoughtful self-reflection, and insights
with relevance far beyond their own project, the contributors to this groundbreaking volume take readers
systematically through an account of the potential and the limitations of imaginative innovations for transforming
Human Sciences Research higher education in South Africa, inviting an ongoing discussion about the future.

Do South Africans Exist?

Nationalism, Democracy and the Identity of "the People"
Ivor Chipkin
Summary
"Philosophically grounded, theoretically nuanced, politically controversial and yet urgently relevant, Do South
Africans Exist? contains within its pages the four elements necessary to make it an absolute must read'. Focused
on the question of what constitutes South Africanness, what makes us a nation, its argument is relevant to
probably every major debate about contemporary South Africa. Ultimately this book is about the South African
political experiment and the potential for its consolidation." --Adam Habib, Human Sciences Research Council,
South Africa
"Do South Africans Exist? makes a sharp, original and distinctive contribution to the existing literature on
nationalism and nation-building in South Africa. It traverses several disciplines--political philosophy, historicised
political science, and critical theory--and in doing so, reintroduces the particular case of African nationalism into
Witwatersrand University the more general understanding of nations and nationalism." --Colin Bundy, Green College, Oxford, U.K.

segregation, and the struggle for liberation-and enhanced by intriguing human interest narratives that includes
excerpts from the memoirs of Jan van Riebeeck and the writings of Rich Mkondo, poems by Wally Serote, song
lyrics by Johannes Kerkorrel and Jeremy Taylor, and statements and recollections by Nelson Mandela.
Observations by 19th-century novelist Anthony Trollope, academic Mamphela Ramphela, Nobel Laureate Nadine

Falls the Shadow

Between the Promise and the Reality of the South African Constitution
Kristina Bentley, Laurie Nathan, Richard Calland
Summary
The gap between the promise of the South African constitution and the reality of life for most South Africans is
a significant problem that requires urgent attention, and this book explores that gap-its causes, its meaning, and
its implications. On the face of it, the country's constitution provides for the security of all the people in South
Africa; yet most of the population is socially, economically, physically, and psychologically insecure. Falls the
Shadow looks at the causes, meaning, and implications of this gap and tackles these subjects in a forthright and
rigorous fashion, alerting readers to the dimensions and perils of the "constitutional shadow."

Five Hundred Years Rediscovered

Southern African Precedents and Prospects
Natalie Swanepoel, Amanda Esterhuysen, Phillip Bon...
Summary
In the age of the African Renaissance, southern Africa has needed to reinterpret the past in fresh and more
appropriate ways. The last 500 years represent a strikingly unexplored and misrepresented period which remains
disfigured by colonial/ apartheid assumptions, most notably in the way that African societies are depicted as
fixed, passive, isolated, un-enterprising and unenlightened. Five Hundred Years Rediscovered: Southern African
Precedents and Prospects represents the first step, taken by a group of archaeologists and historians, to
collectively reframe, revitalize and re-examine the last 500 years. By integrating research and developing trans-
frontier research networks, the group hopes to challenge thinking about the regions expanding internal and
colonial frontiers, and to broaden current perceptions about southern Africas colonial past.

Inside Indian Indenture (2nd Edition)

A South African Story, 1860-1914
Ashwin Desai, Goolam Vahed
Summary
A timely and monumental recollection, this consideration captures the crossing of the sea undertaken by
immigrants from India in the late 1800s. Illustrating their travels from their home country to colonial South Africa,
this narrative demonstrates the multiple beginnings that made up the indentured experience for these wandering
exiles. The overview explores the terrain of the everyday by focusing on religious and cultural expressions,
leisure activities, power relations on the plantations, the weapons of resistance, and forms of collaboration that
were developed in conflicts with the colonial overlords. Fascinating accounts brimming with desire and tender
mercies-as much as with oppression and exploitation-show that the indentured were as much agents as they
were victims and silent witnesses, painting a clear portrait of both cooperation and discord between Indians and
Africans. Revising the contours of South African Indian historiography, this investigation expertly weaves its
Council themes into the mainstream of Southern African studies, highlighting an often overlooked minority commu...

The Secret War Against Apartheid
Ken Keable, Ronnie Kasrils, Z. Pallo Jordan
Summary
The history of the antiapartheid movement brings up images of boycotts and public campaigns in the UK, but
another story went on behind the scenes, in secret. This is the story of the foreign volunteers and their
activities in South Africa, how they acted in defiance of the apartheid government and its police on the
instructions of the African National Congress (ANC). From the transportation of weapons to the passage of ANC
fighters into South Africa, this account describes the many risks taken by the volunteers-many of whom were
young communists, Trotskyists, or independent socialists who traveled from the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands,
and the United States-to join the cause.

Metal That Will Not Bend

The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa, 1980-1995
Kally Forrest
Summary
This volume traces the themes of power, independence, and workers’ control as they were practiced by Numsa.
A number of small metal organizations, with at times antagonistic organizational and political strategies, were
built in different ways and with different attitudes to the exiled liberation movements of the early 1980s. They
eventually unified into one powerful organization. Forrest describes how workers’ struggles built this power, and
she scrutinizes the strategies used in the late 1980s, such as innovative bargaining strategies, to significantly
improve the conditions of South Africa’s impoverished workers. The volume then progresses to examine how
Numsa used its power in an attempt to insert a workers’ perspective into the political transition of the early
1990s. It explores the obstacles the union faced, such as the violence that erupted across the country, and its
Witwatersrand University commonality and divergence from the politics of the liberation movements (chiefly the ANC).

One Hundred Years of the ANC

Debating Liberation Histories Today

Summary
On 8 January 2012 the African National Congress (ANC) of South Africa, the oldest African nationalist
organization on the continent, celebrated its 100th anniversary and this historic event generated significant
public debate within both the ANC and South African society at large. Critically reflecting on the ANC's historical
trajectory and struggle against colonialism and apartheid than in its centennial year, this is a collection of new
work by renowned South African and international scholars. Covering a broad chronological and geographical
spectrum and using a diverse range of sources, the contributors build upon but also extend the historiography of
the ANC by tapping into marginal spaces in ANC history. By moving away from the celebratory mode that has
characterized much of the contemporary discussions on the centenary, the contributors suggest that the

Summary
The Bafokeng tribe has become an established and well-known community in South Africa with a reputation that
can be attributed to their considerable wealth derived from platinum mining and direct investment in mining
ventures. Employing written, oral, and archaeological sources, this detailed history traces the emergence of the
Bafokeng, their settlement in the western Highveld, and their consolidation under various capable leaders during
the period of white rule from the 1830s to the early 20th century. It explores, among other topics, the
Bafokeng's history with missionaries, their land acquisition, and their disputes with the powerful white minority.
One of the first books to document the Bafokeng people, this record provides insight into one of the remaining

South Africa: Vol. II

Anthony Trollope
Summary
Always a keen traveler, Anthony Trollope toured South Africa in 1877 and provides a fascinating account of his
travels around a still untamed land at a time when British rule was being challenged by the native peoples.
Trollope relates an insightful history of the first Dutch and then British colonial rule imposed over the native
peoples, as well as vivid descriptions of the people, the architecture, the landscape and the sights and sounds
of late 19th-century South Africa. It is in his dealings with the natives that Trollope is at his most fascinating
and unusually perceptive. His own views reflect the common opinion of the day that colonial rule could only
improve their lives, but at the same time gives an insight into the negative effects of colonialism on the natives
and the grievances it created. South Africa is an unrivalled account of the land and all its people by a master
writer, and is a fascinating description of a small but vital part of the British Empire during its prime.

Southern African Liberation Struggles

New Local, Regional and Global Perspectives
Hilary Sapire, Chris Saunders
Summary
Probing beyond the heroic portrayals of armed struggles and nationalist resistance, this collection of essays
illustrates the intertwined histories of Southern African liberation struggles and those of regional and international
solidarity movements, beginning in the 1960s through the establishment of a nonracial democracy in South Africa
in 1994. As this collection seeks to present more nuanced accounts of the solidarity movements that flourished
alongside the liberation and exile movements-such as the British-based Anti-Apartheid Movement-it draws
together internal and external struggles in exile. Unique and detailed, it offers new insights into the relationships
that exiles and guerrillas developed with host societies and solidarity organizations, both within the southern
African region and in the United Kingdom.

The Concentration Camps of the Anglo-Boer War

A Social History
Elizabeth van Heyningen
Summary
A general history of the concentration camps of the Anglo-Boer War, and the first to make an in-depth use of
the very rich and extensive official documents in the South African and British archives, this book provides a
fresh perspective on a topic that understandably arouses emotions because of the great numbers of Afrikaners-
especially women and children-who died in the camps. Set in the larger context of colonialism at the end of the
19th century, this fascinating account overturns many previously held assumptions and conclusions. Arguing that
British views on poverty, poor relief, and the management of colonial societies all shaped administration, this
social history also attempts to explain why the camps were so badly administered in the first place and why
reform was so slow-suggesting that divided responsibility, ignorance, political opportunism, and a failure to
understand the needs of such institutions all played a part.

The Deaths of Hintsa

Post-Apartheid South Africa and the Shape of Recurring Pasts
Premesh Lalu
Summary
Following the tracks of South African traditional leader Nicholas Gcaleka, this account explores the reasons for
his postapartheid journey to Great Britain as well as the public derision that accompanied him. Arguing that the
sources of derision can be found in the modes of evidence established by colonial power, this exploration traces
Gcaleka's search for the remains of the tribal leader Hintsa, who was killed by British troops during the South
African colonial period. Calling for a postcolonial critique of apartheid and for new models for writing histories, this
reconstruction offers a new perspective of the colonial archive, suggesting a blurring of the distinction between
history and historiography in order to forge a postapartheid history.

The Development of Competition Law and Economics in South Africa

Kasturi Moodaliyar, Simon Roberts
Summary
An important and timely contribution to rapidly growing competition law in South Africa, this study meets the
need for critical evaluation of the developments in the field since the Competition Act came into force in 1999.
Chapters cover vital questions ranging from broad policy considerations to technical issues in the main areas of
competition evaluation, namely merger assessment, abuse-of-dominance enforcement, and the detection and
prosecution of cartels. The book reflects on the maturing South African competition law regime and discusses a
framework for promotion competition in electronic communications; vertical arithmetic and its application in
vertical mergers; price discrimination in input markets; the empirical differences between collusion, parallelism,
and competition; and the role of information exchange in facilitating collusion.

The Origins of Non-Racialism

White Opposition to Apartheid in the 1950s
David Everatt
Summary
This book tells some of the stories and hidden histories that help explain our past. It focuses on a talented,
brave, but tiny minority of whites, liberals, radicals, communists, Trotskyists, humanists, Christians, and idealists
who rejected the growing racism of post-war South Africa and worked to breach the dividing line between black
and white. From the Torch Commando that could mobilize tens of thousands of whites at the beginning of the
1950s to the Liberal Party and Congress of Democrats that could only boast a few hundred members by the end
of the decade, white activists fought to maintain the vision of racial equality in an increasingly divided society.
Their African nationalist allies fought a harder battle within the ANC and other organizations in order to keep alive
Press the notion that black and white could struggle together and live peacefully. Together, black and white activists
9781868145003 developed a theory of struggle and ways of mobilizing that maintained the ideal of a non-racial South Africa. The

The Prize and the Price

Shaping Sexualities in South Africa
Melissa Steyn, Mikki van Zyl
Summary
Engaging and provocative, the collection gathers leading and emerging scholars to disentangle the strands of
particular sexual identities and deepen understanding of the multiple workings of heteronormativity in South
African society in particular and sexuality in general. Through analyzing where and how heteronormativity
intersects with other axes of power and social identity, contributors to this collection reveal that it is not
monolithic, and heterosexuality as the South African norm is effectively omitted from heteronormativity.
Examining the historical continuities and interruptions of heteronormativity in South African society, each chapter
extends beyond the well-researched areas of sexuality-same sexualities, HIV/AIDS, and gender-based violence-
to less-discussed areas such as childhood sexuality and disability.

The Theatre of Violence

Narratives of Protagonists in the South African Conflict
Don Foster, Paul Haupt, Maresa de Beer
Summary
Exposing often overlooked aspects of state repression and political violence, this profound and deeply
compassionate study documents the often contradictory and confusing stories of those who committed some of
the most dreadful deeds during South Africa's apartheid era. In telling their stories, individuals on various sides of
the apartheid divide, from the police force and intelligence officers to grassroots activists and members of
township self-protection units, offer the first critical examination of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's
amnesty process, show how media representations of protagonists inform public perceptions, and scrutinize
international scholarly writings on the issue of political violence. Tracing political violence in South Africa from
1960 to 1994, these accounts show how an overarching theater of violence forced protagonists to compete with
Human Sciences Research each other, almost spiralling South Africans into a political vortex that risked outright societal disintegration.

Truth Is a Strange Fruit

A Personal Journey Through the Apartheid War
David Beresford
Summary
In 1964, Johannesburg's Park Street station was bombed, and the so-called "mad bomber," John Harris, was
hanged. A shocking revelation, this account discloses that former Prime Ministers Hendrik Verwoed and John
Vorster and the former head of the security police, General Hendrik van den Berg, conspired in a crime that led
to an innocent man's execution. It argues that the three most powerful political figures in South Africa at the
time were aware that the bomb had been planted and chose not to disarm it in the hopes that it would deliver a
blow to the antiapartheid movement. Also investigating the involvement of a Zionist terrorist organization in the
Park Street bombing and the role of President Jacob Zuma in the activities of the African National Congress in
exile, this history will enlighten anyone interested in the apartheid or in the political workings of South Africa.

In this collection of essays, the often-marginalized voices of South African women are presented, in four
chronological sections, as a nuanced and complex narrative that provides new interpretations and different
readings on the major phases of South African history. Activists and academics seek to illuminate the struggle
for emancipation, and their interrogation of past conflict and present issues creates an overtly feminist
perspective that captures the constant struggles and movements of women in South Africa.

Women: South Africans of Indian Origin

Devi Moodley Rajab, Ranjith Kally
Summary
Examining the placement of Indian women in South African society, this engaging history features profiles and
photographic portraits as it imparts a rich cultural milieu beyond aromatic spices and glittering jewelry. Arguing
that postapartheid freedom has allowed for a renaissance among women achievers in the Indian community, this
book not only charts the areas where this development has occurred but also shares the hopes of the women
too often ignored in public discourse. A story of resilience that transcended the system of indenture, this
celebratory narrative pays tribute to the spirit of South African women of Indian descent.

Young Warriors
Youth Politics, Identity, and Violence in South Africa
Monique Marks
Summary
Much has been written about South Africa’s “lost generation” —the generation of politicized youth who
dedicated their lives to the liberation of a nation, and who have “lost” everything in the process. Young Warriors
is about this generation, but it is also a critique of the very concept of a “lost generation.” It is the story of
activists who have become leaders, provincial premiers and national ministers in our democratic society. While
focusing on the lives of the men and women who lived in Diepkloof, a black “township” in South Africa, it is also
the narrative of many black South Africans who “grew up” in the organizations of the ANC-led liberation
movement.

Imagining the City

Memories and Cultures in Cape Town
Sean Field, Renate Meyer, Felicity Swanson
Summary
"The overriding strength of this book is that it places people-ordinary people-at the centre of memory, at the
centre of historical and contemporary experience, and thus at the centre of reimagining and owning the city of
Cape Town. It is as they speak-what they choose to say, what they choose to remain silent about-that we
become aware of the possibilities of the city, if it really did embrace all its people, in all of their diversity." -Mike
van Graan, from the foreword
Cities are not only made of buildings and roads, but they are also constructed through popular imagination and
memory as evidenced in this collection of oral and visual histories drawn from the people who live, work, and
creatively express themselves in Cape Town, South Africa. The collected works move beyond apartheid history
Human Sciences Research to analyze the reflective ways in which people are coming to terms with that history through memory work,

Portraits of Women's Lives in the Western Cape 1948-1976
Helen Scanlon
Summary
Drawing on the personal narratives of women from across the political spectrum in the Western Cape, this book
presents an unusual perspective on the recent history of South African women. Highlighting the experiences of
individuals, this collection confronts the anonymity that shrouds so many women activists and provides a clear
perspective on the motivations of women who chose political activism in the 1950s and 1960s. The women's
narratives provide nuanced insights into the ways that issues of identity, race, class, and culture intersected
with politics in their lives, and demonstrate the sometimes painful intersections of the public and personal realms.

Throwing Down White Man

Cape Rule and Misrule in Colonial Lesotho, 1871-1884
Peter Sanders
Summary
Surrounded by South Africa lies the small, independent kingdom of Lesotho, and this book explores how the
Basotho people came to preserve this autonomy from powerful neighbors in the Gun War of 1880-81. One of
several wars in southern Africa at the time, the Gun War was different in one, all-important respect: the whites
were humiliatingly defeated, or at least decisively held at bay. Presenting oral traditions and archival sources
with meticulous care, this history lays bare the narrower interests and conflicting perspectives among the
Basotho chiefs and the local officials as well as the larger forces at work in the region. Compelling and absorbing,
this study of the Gun War will interest historians and academics alike.

Child Soldiers of Uganda and the Lord's Resistance Army

Summary
"Richard Opio has neither the look of a cold-blooded killer nor the heart of one. Yet as his mother and father lay
on the ground with their hands tied, Richard used the blunt end of an ax to crush their skulls. He was ordered to
do this by a unit commander of the Lord's Resistance Army, a rebel group that has terrorized northern Uganda for
twenty years. The memory racks Richard's slender body as he wipes away tears."
For more than twenty years, beginning in the mid-1980s, the Lord's Resistance Army has ravaged northern
Uganda. Tens of thousands have been slaughtered, and thousands more mutilated and traumatized. At least 1.5
million people have been driven from a pastoral existence into the squalor of refugee camps.

First Kill Your Family

Child Soldiers of Uganda and the Lord's Resistance Army
Peter Eichstaedt
Summary
"Richard Opio has neither the look of a cold-blooded killer nor the heart of one. Yet as his mother and father lay
on the ground with their hands tied, Richard used the blunt end of an ax to crush their skulls. He was ordered to
do this by a unit commander of the Lord's Resistance Army, a rebel group that has terrorized northern Uganda for
twenty years. The memory racks Richard's slender body as he wipes away tears."
For more than twenty years, beginning in the mid-1980s, the Lord's Resistance Army has ravaged northern
Uganda. Tens of thousands have been slaughtered, and thousands more mutilated and traumatized. At least 1.5
million people have been driven from a pastoral existence into the squalor of refugee camps.

House of Stone
The True Story of a Family Divided in War-Torn Zimbabwe
Christina Lamb
Summary
Blue mountains, golden fields, gin and tonics on the terrace--once it had seemed the most idyllic place on earth.
But by August 2002, Marondera, in eastern Zimbabwe, had been turned into a bloody battleground, the center of
a violent campaign. One bright morning, Nigel Hough, one of the few remaining white farmers, received the news
he had been dreading. A crowd of war veterans was at his gates, demanding he hand over his homestead. The
mob started a fire and dragged him to an outhouse. To his shock, the leader of the invaders was his family's
much-loved nanny Aqui. "Get out or we'll kill you," she said. "There is no place for whites in this country."
Christina Lamb uncovered the astonishing saga she tells in House of Stone while traveling back and forth to
report clandestinely on Zimbabwe. Her powerful narrative traces the history of the brutal civil war,
independence, and the Mugabe years, all through the lives of two people on opposing sides. Although born within
a few miles of each other, their experience growing up could not have been more different. While Nigel pla...

A History of Pan-African Revolt

C. L. R. James, Robin D. G. Kelley
Summary
Originally published in England in 1938 and expanded in 1969, this work remains the classic account of global
Black resistance. This concise, accessible history of revolts by African peoples worldwide explores the wide range
of methods used by Africans to resist oppression and the negative effects of imperialism and colonization as
viewed in the 20th century. Written from a radical perspective with a substantial new introduction that
contextualizes the work in the ferment of the times, A History of Pan-African Revolt is essential to understanding
liberation movements in Africa and the diaspora and continues to reveal new insights, lessons, and visions to
successive generations.

A Search for Origins

Science, History and South Africa's 'Cradle of Humankind'
Philip Bonner, Amanda Esterhuysen, Trefor Jenkins,...
Summary
The "Cradle of Humankind" (COH), bordering Gauteng and the North-West Province, was declared a World
Heritage Site for the wealth of the human and animal fossils found there. Research based on fossils found in the
area as well as signs of early human habitation have shed new light on the evolution of humankind and on the
significant role that southern Africa played in the development of modern humans.
A Search for Origins aims to provide an overview of the history of the COH, and of the important discoveries that
have been made there, for a non-specialist audience. A number of general accounts have been written which
have concentrated on the palaeontological discoveries made there. No systematic account written by specialists

A Short History of Africa

From the Origins of the Human Race to the Arab Spring
Gordon Kerr
Summary
A comprehensive introduction to the sprawling history of this enormous continent, from the dawn of human time
in prehistoric Africa right through to Arab Spring
Beginning with the origins of the human race and the development of stone age technology, this history of the
cradle of civilization moves through ancient and medieval times, the significance of the Arab presence, the
Muslim states, and the trans-Saharan trade. It continues with the rise and fall of nation states and kingdoms
prior to the arrival of Europeans, Ghana, the Kingdoms of the Forest and Savanna, Yoruba, Oyo, Benin, Asante,
Luba, Lunda, Lozil, and many others, on to the beginning of the slave trade, and the European conquest and
colonization of sub-Saharan Africa, the "Scramble for Africa." Finally moving onto the often bitter struggles for
independence from that period of colonization and exploitation, it concludes with an assessment of Africa in the
Oldcastle Books 21st century.

African Awakening
The Emerging Revolutions
Sokari Ekine, Firoze Manji
Summary
An insightful and comprehensive compilation of the year's events, this record offers in-the-moment comment and
analysis as well as informed reflection on the 2011 African uprisings. While the tumultuous uprisings in Tunisia,
Egypt, and Libya have seized the attention of media analysts, the concurrent rebellions in Benin, Gabon,
Senegal, Swaziland, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Uganda, and in other parts of the African continent have gone virtually
unnoticed. Arguing that these disturbances are the result of decades of declining living standards, mass
unemployment, land dispossessions, and impoverishment of the majority, this account provides an overview of
the struggle for democratization, which constitutes a reawakening of the spirit of freedom and justice for all.

Bush War
The Road to Cuito Cuanavale
Gennady Shubin, Andrei Tokarev
Summary
For almost 15 years, South Africa was involved in a civil war in Angola: the so-called Bush War on behalf of the
National Union for the Total Independence of Angola faction. The climax of the conflict portrayed in this history
was the battle of Cuito Cuanavale, the largest military engagement on African soil since World War II. This book
provides the firsthand, personal accounts of the clash leading up to Cuito Cuanavale for the first time in English,
as told by the Soviet advisers to the Angolan army. Their experiences of the war as well as their views and
assessment of their South African enemies and Cuban and Angolan allies will not only surprise and fascinate
readers, but will also offer new insights into the war itself.

Consuming the Congo

War and Conflict Minerals in the World's Deadliest Place
Peter Eichstaedt
Summary
Every time you use a cell phone or log on to a computer, you could be contributing to the death toll in the
bloodiest, most violent region in the world: the eastern Congo. Rich in "conflict minerals"--valuable resources
mined in the midst of armed conflict and egregious human rights abuses--this remote and lawless land is home to
deposits of gold and diamonds as well as coltan, tin, and tungsten, all critical to cell phones, computers, and
other popular electronics.
In Consuming the Congo, veteran journalist and author Peter Eichstaedt goes into these killing fields to find what
is behind the bloodshed, hearing the stories of those who live this nightmarish reality. He talks with survivors of
villages decimated by war and miners slogging knee-deep in muck, desperately digging up the gold, tin, and

Decolonization and Empire

Contesting the Rhetoric and Reality of Resubordination in Southern Africa and Beyond
John S. Saul
Summary
Approaching the subjects of empire and colonization in a new light, this survey states that the free global market
and institutions such as the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and World Trade Organization are actually
recolonizing Southern Africa. This polemic argues that the unalloyed working of capitalism-the manufacture and
exacerbation of a hierarchy that enlarges the gap between the rich and the poor-is self-creating and self-
sustaining. It is also locked into place by governments and their institutions, leaving no space for an alternative
structure. Those increasingly unable to defend themselves against the free global market have been recolonized
into this capitalist system.

The Making of an Urban Region
Philip Bonner, Noor Nieftagodien, Sello Mathabatha
Summary
Ekurhuleni: The Making of an Urban Region is the first academic work to provide an historical account and
explanation of the development of this extended region to the east of Johannesburg since its origins at the end
of the 19th century. From the time of the discovery of gold and coal until the turn of the 21st century, the
region comprised a number of distinctive towns, all with their own histories. In 2000, these towns were
amalgamated into a single metropolitan area, but, unlike its counterparts across the country, it does not cohere
around a single identity. Drawing on a significant body of academic work as well as original research by the
Wits University Press
authors, the book traces and examines some of the salient historical strands that constituted what was known
9781868145430 as the East Rand and suggests that, notwithstanding important differences between towns and the racial

European Revolutionaries and Algerian Independence

1954-1962
Ian Birchall
Summary
With the summer of 2012 marking half a century of independence for Algeria, the Algerian War has been brought
into discussions in France once more, where parallels between the past and present are revealed. This analysis
takes an in-depth look at the war from 1954 to 1962 and the response from the French left. Drawing from
documents and interviews, it offers a full account of not only the role of the revolutionary left in giving political
and practical solidarity to the Algerian liberation struggle, but also that of the Trotskyists during that period.
Including a section on how the war has been reflected in fiction, this volume is sure to interest academics across
various fields.

Even the Cows Were Amazed

Shipwreck Survivors in South-east Africa, 1552?1782
Gillian Vernon
Summary
Between the 16th and 18th centuries a number of European ships involved in trade with the East came to grief
on the southeast African coast, but in almost all cases there were survivors, both passengers and crew, whose
stories were later recounted and written down. This book tells the stories of the survivors' experiences and
examines why some parties managed to survive much better than others. Many parties undertook epic journeys
on foot from the wreck site to reach places where they might be rescued. The survivors of Portuguese vessels
headed north towards present-day Mozambique, where it was known that Portuguese trading vessels
occasionally made anchor. The Dutch and the British, on the other hand, headed west toward the Cape. These
hazardous journeys involved great feats of endurance for the survivors, who tramped by foot for hundreds of
kilometers through unknown territory and met (and bartered with) local people along the way whom common

performances. Over this time the space has become alive, filled with people and activity. This book is about the
partnerships between organisations, artists, and communities for community artmaking. It is the story of one
organization's experience with community performance-making, from the philosophy that informs choices, to the
nitty-gritty of work.

From Citizen to Refugee (2nd Edition)

Uganda Asians Come to Britain
Mahmood Mamdani
Summary
In a gripping personal account of the Asians' last days in Uganda following their expulsion by Idi Amin in 1972,
this book interweaves an examination of the country's colonial history with the subsequent evolution of
postindependence politics. Expelled from Uganda and arriving in a cold and overcast London, Mahmood Mamdani
shares his experiences in a camp run by the UK government's resettlement board and explores the theme of
political identity-the politicization of racial identity and its reproduction after independence. A telling and gripping
story that will be familiar to refugees and those seeking asylum in Britain, this vivid autobiography is as pertinent
today as when it was first published in 1973.

Genocide in German South-West Africa

The Colonial War of 1904-1908 and Its Aftermath
Jurgen Zimmerer, Joachim Zeller, E. J. Neather
Summary
The 1904 war that broke out in present day Namibia after the Herero tribe rose against an oppressive colonial
regime-and the German army's brutal suppression of that uprising-are the focus of this collection of essays.
Exploring the annihilation of both the Herero and Nama people, this selection from prominent researchers of
German imperialism considers many aspects of the war and shows how racism, concentration camps, and
genocide in the German colony foreshadow Hitler's Third Reich war crimes.

Governing Cities in Africa

Politics and Policies
Simon Bekker, Laurent Fourchard
Summary
Rather than grouping African nations by Anglophone, Francophone, and Lusophone historical influences as many
books do, this study employs a novel approach in discussing them: thematic instead of single-city chapters. The
book argues that cities in sub-Saharan Africa provide the pivot around which issues of policy, practice, planning,
and service delivery turn, at different scales and from the top down as well as from the bottom up. Each chapter
is written by multiple authors, each of whom displays a depth of knowledge of one of three or more cities treated
in each case. Party politics, for example, is examined at city level while urban security is demonstrated within
both state and nonstate contexts. This account will interest scholars of African and urban studies in addition to
urban policymakers and practitioners.

India in Africa
Changing Geographies of Power
Emma Mawdsley, Gerard McCann
Summary
In one of the first analyses of contemporary Indian-African relations, this detailed book draws upon a collection
of case studies that explore interrelated topics such as trade, investment, development aid, civil society
relations, security, and geopolitics. While China's relationship to Africa has been thoroughly examined, knowledge
and analysis of India's role in Africa has until now been limited. This book fills the gap and compares and
contrasts India to China's role as a rising global power in the African continent.

Thomas N. Huffman
Summary
Between AD 900 and 1300, the Shashe-Limpopo basin in Limpopo Province witnessed the development of an
ancient civilization. Like civilizations everywhere, it consisted of a complex social organization supported by
intensive agriculture and long-distance trade. The Mapungubwe Cultural Landscape, as it is now known, was the
forerunner of the famous town of Great Zimbabwe, situated about 200 kilometers to the north, and its cultural
connection to Great Zimbabwe and the Venda people allows archaeologists to reconstruct its evolution. This
Witwatersrand University generously illustrated book tells the story of an African civilization that began more than 1000 years ago. It is

Permanent Removal
Who Killed the Cradick Four?
Christopher Nicholson
Summary
Goniwe, Calata, Mkonto and Mhlauli--the "Cradock Four"--were key leadership figures in the Eastern Cape region
in the 1980s, and their murders are often regarded as the beginnings of revolution in South Africa. Yet despite
widespread suspicion of police or defense force involvement in the deaths, the 1989 inquest found "no
acceptable evidence that any member of the Force had anything whatsoever to do with the killings." From 1989
and after, former foot soldiers of the apartheid government started exposing the counter-revolutionary tactics
authorized by highest levels within government. In 1992 ex-Commandant Lourens du Plessis leaked a highly
sensitive document to the press. Dated 7 June 1985 and addressed to General van Rensburg, a member of the
State Security Council, it proposed the "permanent removal from society" of Goniwe and Calata. On 8 May 1992
Witwatersrand University President FW de Klerk reopened the inquest.

Reclaiming African History

Jacques Depelchin
Summary
The thought-provoking essays in this volume show that it is possible to reconnect the histories of those who
have been disconnected in Africa: shack dwellers, the poor, and the dispossessed. This analysis of African
history demonstrates how people have been forced into looking at their own histories through a shattered mirror,
deliberately and forcefully crushed so as to render the exercise impossible, and argues that history could be
written in a way that would help break the mold and free it from being a hostage, consciously and unconsciously,
to European and U.S. historical intellectual frameworks. It enables a reconnection to humanity-not just for the
sake of Africa, but for the sake of those who did everything to bury African history.

Living in the Shadow of Death
Andrew Ragavaloo
Summary
A true story, this gripping narrative reads like a political thriller as it describes one South African town's year of
terror in the early days of the new post-apartheid government. Sifiso Nkabinde, the regional leader of the African
National Congress (ANC) in the town of Richmond, KwaZulu Natal, is expelled for being a police spy. A self-
proclaimed warlord during the conflict in the area in the early 1990s, he reverts to violent activities following his
expulsion and is believed by the townspeople to be responsible for inciting a small-scale civil war in Richmond
that leaves more than 100 people dead over the course of a year. The mayor of the town, who is the author of
this account, stands firmly in charge even as he is under constant threat by Nkabinde's henchmen. This deeply
moving account stands as a testament to the importance and fragility of democracy.

Sanctuary
How an Inner-City Church Spilled Onto a Sidewalk
Christa Kuljian
Summary
This striking account tells the story of how the Central Methodist Church in downtown Johannesburg and its
controversial Bishop Paul Verryn came to offer refuge to people who had nowhere else to turn. Xenophobic
violence erupted in South Africa in May 2008 and the threat of it spreading to Central Methodist Church became
very real-already there were over a thousand migrants living in the church, most of them having fled across the
Zimbabwe border in search of a life beyond poverty and political oppression. Every square inch was occupied.
Christa Kuljian fluently combines many elements to share this remarkable experience openly: interviews with
members of the refugee community, residents of the church, and key figures who include the head of Central
Methodist; historical material on the church and its role in the city since the early years; and an understanding
of urban dynamics, migrancy, and South African politics. Central Methodist became a visible reminder of the
Jacana Media challenges facing Johannesburg and South Africa-such as poverty, migration, xenophobia, and policing-and this

Structure, Meaning and Ritual in the Narratives of the Southern San

Roger L. Hewitt
Summary
Structure, Meaning and Ritual in the Narratives of the Southern San analyzes texts drawn from the Bleek and
Lloyd Archive—arguably one of the most important collections for the understanding of South African cultural
heritage and in particular the traditions of the /Xam, South Africa’s "first people." Initially appearing in a now rare
1986 edition and here re-issued for the first time, the doctoral thesis on which the book is based became the
catalyst for much scholarly research. The book offers an analysis of the entire corpus of /Xam narratives found
in the Bleek and Lloyd collection, focusing particularly on the cycle of narratives concerning the
trickster /Kaggen (Mantis). These are examined on three levels from the "deep structures" with resonances in
other areas of /Xam culture and supernatural belief, through the recurring patterns of narrative composition
apparent across the cycle and finally touching on the observable differences in the performances by the
various /Xam collaborators. Hewitt’s text remains the only comprehensive and detailed study of /Xam narrative,

The First Ethiopians

The Image of Africa and Africans in the Early Mediterranean World
Malvern van Wyk Smith
Summary
The First Ethiopians explores the images of Africa and Africans that evolved in ancient Egypt, in classical Greece
and imperial Rome, in the early Mediterranean world, and in the early domains of Christianity. Malvern van Wyk
Smith was inspired by his curiosity regarding the origins of racism in southern Africa and consulted a wide range
of sources for this book. From rock art to classical travel writing; from the pre-dynastic African beginnings of
Egyptian and Nubian civilizations to Greek and Roman perceptions of Africa; from Khoisan cultural expressions to
early Christian conceptions of Africa and its people as demonic; from Aristotelian climatology to medieval
cartography; and from the geo-linguistic history of Africa to the most recent revelations regarding the genome
profile of the continent's peoples. The research led to a startling proposition: western racism has its roots in
Africa itself, notably in late New-Kingdom Egypt as its ruling elites sought to distance Egyptian civilization from
Witwatersrand University its African origins.

The Ibadis in the Region of the Indian Ocean

Section One: East Africa
Heinz Gaube, Abdulrahman Al Salimi
Summary
In the early Middle Ages, members of Omani royal families and their followers began to emigrate to the coastal
regions of East Africa, with some of them founding small princedoms. After approximately 150 years of
Portuguese dominance, the Omanis drove the Portuguese out of the coastal areas north of Mozambique, and a
period of prosperity began under Omani rule. In a treaty signed in 1822 between the British and the Omani ruler,
Sayyid Said, the British ceded supremacy to the Omanis over the coastal areas of East Africa between northern
Mozambique and southern Somalia. This led to another period of prosperity under Omani rule, which ended in the
so called "Revolution of Zanzibar" in 1964. In this book the author presents a comprehensive survey of the
Georg Olms Verlag archaeological evidence of the Islamic period in the coastal areas of Kenya and Tanzania, and provides relevant

The Ibadis in the Region of the Indian Ocean

Section One: East Africa
Heinz Gaube, Abdulrahman Al Salimi
Summary
In the early Middle Ages, members of Omani royal families and their followers began to emigrate to the coastal
regions of East Africa, with some of them founding small princedoms. After approximately 150 years of
Portuguese dominance, the Omanis drove the Portuguese out of the coastal areas north of Mozambique, and a
period of prosperity began under Omani rule. In a treaty signed in 1822 between the British and the Omani ruler,
Sayyid Said, the British ceded supremacy to the Omanis over the coastal areas of East Africa between northern
Mozambique and southern Somalia. This led to another period of prosperity under Omani rule, which ended in the
so called "Revolution of Zanzibar" in 1964. In this book the author presents a comprehensive survey of the
Georg Olms Verlag archaeological evidence of the Islamic period in the coastal areas of Kenya and Tanzania, and provide relevant

The Implementation of Quotas

African Experiences
Summary
This report examines women's political representation on the African continent, and shows how quotas have
contributed to increasing their access to political power. The documented evidence from Africa is very
encouraging: more than 20 countries on the continent either have legislated quotas or have political parties that
have adopted them voluntarily. This report details the different quota types that are being implemented in
different political contexts in 17 countries, including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Morocco,
Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, and Uganda.

The Lusaka Years

The ANC in Exile in Zambia, 1963 to 1994
Hugh Macmillan
Summary
This is the extraordinary story of the ANC in exile in Zambia, where the organization had its headquarters for
most of the time after it was banned in South Africa. The book uses the ANC's own archives, the Zambian
archives, and oral sources, as well as the author's own participant observation, to provide a vivid account of this
crucial era in southern African history. It seeks to understand the sociology of the ANC in exile in Zambia and
argues that this was very different from its camp-based culture in Angola. It also examines the influence of the
ANC's exile experience on its approach to negotiations with the South African government and the transition from
apartheid. It concludes by arguing that the legacy and lessons of exile were not, as some observers suggest, so
much secrecy, paranoia, and a lack of internal democracy, as caution, moderation, and the avoidance of utopian
experiments or great leaps forward.

Contradicting the popular notion that African history survived only through the oral tradition, this collection of

countries, covering a wide range of areas in the study of Timbuktu, from archaeology and literature to the

The Mfecane Aftermath

Carolyn Hamilton
Summary
Was the mfecane a figment of historians’ imagination as Julian Cobbing contends? How large a responsibility do
Shaka and the Zulu people bear for the social turbulence in South-central and South-east Africa in the early
decades of the 19th century? These are some of the issues explored in this collection, which is designed as a
response to the radical critique of Dr. Cobbing and other scholars. The mfecane, suggests Cobbing, must be seen
as a myth lying at the root of a set of interlinked assumptions and distortions that have seriously twisted our
understanding of the main historical processes of late 18th- and early 19th-century Southern Africa.
Contributors to this collection assess the implications of this critique for scholars from a range of disciplines,
notably history, anthropology, archaeology, history of art and African languages. But the book is not only about
the debate over Cobbing’s work; it is also an indicator of the state of current scholarship in Southern Africa in
Witwatersrand University the 18th and 19th centuries and, because it raises questions about the nature of sources and, indeed, ...

Summary
This much-awaited volume uncovers the long-lost pages of the major African multi-lingual newspaper, Abantu-

paper, this book explores the complex movements and individuals that emerged as the essays contribute rich,
new material to provide clearer insights into South African politics and intellectual life. The People's Paper unveils

Exploring the History of the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg
John Wright, Aron Mazel
Summary
The declaration of the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park as a World Heritage Site--on the basis of its scenic beauty,
high degree of biodiversity and the exceptional cultural value of its heritage of San rock art--provides an
occasion for reflecting on the history and people of the region, from the earliest known times to the present.
Constructed from archaeological and written sources, this book highlights the histories of the indigenous San
hunter-gatherers and black farmers, as well as of the European colonizers. The accessible text is complemented
by photographs of the landscape, rock art and archaeological finds. The authors have not aimed to write a
Witwatersrand University definitive history, but have tried to open up ways of looking at the region's past which go beyond the mainly
Press
colonial' views which have predominated in the literature up to the present.

Umkhonto Wesizwe
Janet Cherry
Summary
Informative and portable, this guide offers a brief yet lively introduction to the Umkhonto we Sizwe's (MK)
history; the MK was the armed wing of the African National Congress, which fought against the South African
apartheid government. Written by leading experts in their fields, it presents in broad outline the various stages in
MK's 30-year history, considers the difficult strategic and moral problems the army faced, and argues that its
operations are likely to be remembered as a just war conducted with considerable restraint. With personal
accounts from those who were active members of this armed group, this handbook also provides a critical
analysis of the South African liberation struggle.

Voices of Liberation: Chris Hani

Gregory Houston, James Ngculu
Summary
Chris Hani was a key figure in the South African liberation struggle, yet little has been written about this
enigmatic leader of the South African Communist Party (SACP) and chief of staff of Umkhonto we Sizwe. The
year 2013 marks the 20-year anniversary of his assassination, and HSRC Press views the publication of this book
as extremely important, not only to commemorate his death but to highlight the principles and values for which
he stood. As chief of staff of Umkhonto we Sizwe, Chris Hani was prepared to support the cessation of the
armed struggle in the interests of the negotiations that would benefit the country as a whole. He represents the
importance of dialogue and the relationship between identity, agency, citizenship, and social action.

Waging Peace in Sudan

The Inside Story of the Negotiations That Ended Africa's Longest Civil War
Hilde F. Johnson
Summary
Providing a level of detail seldom achieved in works of contemporary African history and diplomacy, this account
shows, from a unique, insider's perspective, how the civil war in Sudan, which ultimately claimed 2 million deaths
and twice as many displaced, was finally brought to an end. By the late 1990s the international community had
largely judged the war insoluble and turned its attention elsewhere. Following the terrorist attacks of 11
September 2001, a peace process between the government of Sudan and the Sudan People's Liberation
Movement and Army (SPLM/A) took hold. The talks were facilitated by IGAD under Kenyan leadership, and
supported by a 'Troika' of the United States, the UK, and Norway, whose intense engagement in the negotiations
was critical for reaching the Comprehensive Peace Agreement in January 2005. The agreement ended a 20-year-
old civil war pitting the indigenous Sudanese population against successive Arab Muslim regimes in Khartoum.
