Metagraffiti
Metagraffiti explores how graffiti art transmits ideas about graffiti culture. These insights, in turn, inspire a deeper understanding of the social construction of cities. Focusing on graffiti scenes from São Paulo and Santiago de Chile, this innovative visual ethnography examines diverse forms of self-reference and metareference that appear in Latin American graffiti art. Chandra Morrison Ariyo works across multiple scales of contemporary graffiti production - from tags to massive murals - to show how painting the city enables individuals to reimagine their own position within the material and social structures around them. She further reveals how practitioners such as Tinho, OSGEMOS, Speto, Graphis and many others use metagraffiti features to influence public perceptions about this artform and its effect on the urban environment. Ultimately, Metagraffiti proposes a novel conceptual framework that highlights graffiti's ability to forge alternative forms of movement, sociality, and value within Latin American cityscapes. These urban images invite us to imagine what the city could be, when seen as a site for action and for imagination.

Post-conflict Reconstruction and Development in Africa
Some of the bloodiest conflicts occur on the African continent. An Afrocentric perspective is therefore a suitable starting point for research into the possible strategies for post-conflict peacebuilding. The authors of this book consider the problems around the concept of ‘post-conflict’ and the blurring of military and civilian roles, analysing the UN roles in the DRC and Sierra Leone, as well as the African Union Mission in Burundi. The main context of the book, however, is the South African Army’s strategy for PCRD in Africa, which was developed with the African Union’s 2006 Post-Conflict, Reconstruction and Development Needs Assessment Guide in mind. This book emanates from this plan. It therefore also explores South Africa’s policy imperatives to integrate development projects and peace missions, involving the military as well as civilian organisations. While this book is not intended as an instruction manual, it hopes to ignite an understanding of the particular processes required to develop a sustainable and cohesive post-conflict peacebuilding strategy within the African environment.

William Shakespeare
This is an attractive collection of the ten history plays of Shakespeare, with all of his lyrical poems and sonnets as well. Here you will find such ingenious characterizations as the malevolent and scheming Richard III; the rousing spectacle of Henry V leading his victorious army into France; and young Prince Hal's hilarious encounters with the farcical figure, Falstaff, in" Henry IV," From heroic warrior-kings to stable hands and highwaymen, Shakespeare creates a whole range of society in his works that truthfully reflects the human condition.
