When Governments Stumble
Ben Freeth established his credentials to write on this topic through his courageous and successful resistance to the bullying tactics employed by the Mugabe regime in Zimbabwe to throw him and his family off their land, a story told in Mugabe and the White African. He now throws his net wider to ask: what response should Christians make to corruption and injustice when perpetrated by governments? Justice is a fundamental aspect of the Judeo-Christian faith. Ben explores this theme through his own experience of government oppression in Zimbabwe, and through contemporary instances where Christians have ' or have not ' stood up to be counted. He considers the Biblical injunction to obey your rulers, and examines the issues of fear and complacency: sometimes Christians are compromised by their relationship with the ruling group. What is our duty? Most Christians feel powerless. What can we actually do, as individuals, and as a group?
Mugabe and the White African
Ben Freeth has an extraordinary story to tell. Like that of many white farmers, his family's land was 'reclaimed' by Mugabe's government for redistribution. But Ben's family fought back. Appealing to international law, they instigated a suit against Mugabe's government via the SADC (The Southern African Development Community). The case was deferred time and again while Mugabe's men pulled strings. But after Freeth and his parents-in-law were abducted and beaten within inches of death in 2008, the SADC deemed any further delay to be an obstruction of justice. The case was heard, and successful on all counts. But the story doesn't end there. In 2009 the family farm was burnt to the ground. The fight for justice in Zimbabwe is far from over - this book is for anyone who wants to see into the heart of one of today's hardest places, and how human dignity flourishes even in the most adverse circumstances.

Mugabe and the White African
Since President Mugabe began his violent land-seizure programme in 2000, thousands of white farmers and their families have been forced to abandon all they own and flee Zimbabwe. But Ben Freeth, and his father-in-law, farmer Mike Campbell, who had owned and worked the land of their home for over 30 years, were determined to take a stand. They fought a desperate battle against Mugabe through the international courts; it was a fight that almost cost them everything. Mugabe and the White African is a first-hand account of the madness that engulfed Zimbabwe, where Mugabe’s men destroyed farmland, stole equipment, slaughtered animals, burnt down houses, intimidated the workers, and beat or murdered the farmers. It is a heartbreaking story of trauma and tragedy, and a tale of courage, as one family, driven by a deep sense of justice and strong Christian principles, risked everything to fight for their home and their country.
International Economic Law
To take Africa from the edge to the centre of the global economy, it is critical to engage African voices in policy discussions on the global political economy. With Africa's projected economic importance in the future and South Africa's prominent role in the G-20 and BRICS, it is vital that this part of the world is involved in restructuring the rules and principles of international economic law. This book examines themes dealing with cross border trade, investment, development and finance issues.
Comparative Law and Anthropology
The topical chapters in this cutting-edge collection at the intersection of comparative law and anthropology explore the mutually enriching insights and outlooks of the two fields. Comparative Law and Anthropology adopts a foundational approach to social and cultural issues and their resolution, rather than relying on unified paradigms of research or unified objects of study. Taken together, the contributions extend long-developing trends from legal anthropology to an anthropology of law and from externally imposed to internally generated interpretations of norms and processes of legal significance within particular cultures. The book's expansive conceptualization of comparative law encompasses not only its traditional geographical orientation, but also historical and jurisprudential dimensions. It is also noteworthy in blending the expertise of long-established, acclaimed scholars with new voices from a range of disciplines and backgrounds.
Mugabe en die wit Afrikaan
Sedert president Mugabe in 2000 sy gewelddadige grondbeslagleggingsprogram van stapel gestuur het, is duisende wit boere en hul gesinne gedwing om al hul besittings agter te laat en uit Zimbabwe te vlug. Ben Freeth en sy skoonpa, Mike Campbell, wat meer as dertig jaar lank op hul eie grond gewoon en geboer het, was egter nie van plan om bes te gee nie. Hulle het Mugabe in internasionale howe die stryd aangesê - ’n wanhopige stryd waarvoor hulle bitter duur sou betaal. Mugabe en die wit Afrikaan is ’n eerstehandse beskrywing van die waansin waarin Zimbabwe gedompel is terwyl Mugabe se trawante landbougrond verwoes, plaastoerusting gesteel, diere doodgemaak, huise afgebrand, die plaaswerkers geïntimideer en die boere aangerand of vermoor het. Dit is ’n hartverskeurende verhaal van trauma en tragedie, maar ook van moed, oor een familie wie se diepe sin vir geregtigheid en onwrikbare Christelike beginsels hulle gedring het om alles in die stryd te werp ter wille van hul huis en hul land.
Mayhem in Mazoe
A thrilling sequel to "e;Congo Cobalt"e; by the same author, Two Rhodesian farming families, helped by British military comrades, flee Mugabe's evil regime and modern forces to carve out a new life in a new land. Tough soldiers, strong, plucky, voluptuous women, stirring action. A close-run adventure is bravely accomplished.
