Spearheading Debate
As South Africa’s democracy matures, this book raises pertinent questions: How does the state mediate between traditional tribal authority and constitutional law in matters such as initiation customs or the rights of women, children, and homosexuals? What are the limitations on artistic freedom in a society where sensitivities over colonial- and apartheid-era representations are acute? How does race open up discussions or close down dialogue? and What are the parameters of freedom of speech when minorities fear that hateful language may trigger actual violence against them? Examining disputes over South African art, music, media, editorial cartoons, history, public memory, and a variety of social practices, the culture wars' perspective is extended to new territory in this study, demonstrating its cross-cultural applicability and parsing critical debates within this vibrant society in formation.

Life Under Democracy
Featuring images that capture South Africa’s status after 18 years of liberation, this collection of photographs includes personal daily reflections as well as more deliberate excursions that present democratic life in the republic. As the photographer returns to the areas he shot in the 1980s and visits some of the people and places previously photographed during apartheid, this book offers a sense of how much has changed and, in some cases, how much has remained the same. Often utilizing an iPhone camera as a means of discourse, this fascinating account focuses on the subject of social change.
Home For The Holidays
I never expected to have to go back home. But my mother needed me, and being the good daughter I am, I went. Days in the hospital only added to the feeling that this holiday season was going to be the worst I’ve suffered, but then he showed up. A cardiac technician with a smile that makes the angels sing. And of course, the alpha male rubs me the wrong way. But I can’t help but want to warm myself by the fire swirling in between us. Things move along quickly and I’m choking on the idea of leaving my big-city New York dream life to be a part of his small-town world. There’s no way I can allow that to happen though. I was just home for the holidays. And now it’s time to go. No matter whose heart it breaks in the process. Mine included.
Twelve Rows Back
In this collection of his popular 'Pitch & Mutter' column in the Mail & Guardian, Tom Eaton offers the view from left field on our sporting addictions and national psychoses, and nothing is sacred! No one and nothing is spared the lash of the wit and insight that have made Eaton South Africa's wittiest and cleverest commentator.
The Strange Alchemy of Life and Law
From a young age Albie Sachs played a prominent part in the struggle for justice in South Africa. As a result he was detained in solitary confinement, tortured by sleep deprivation and eventually blown up by a car bomb which cost him his right arm and the sight of an eye. His experiences provoked an outpouring of creative thought on the role of law as a protector of human dignity in the modern world, and a lifelong commitment to seeing a new era of justice established in South Africa. After playing an important role in drafting South Africa's post-apartheid Constitution, he was appointed by Nelson Mandela to be a member of the country's first Constitutional Court. Over the course of his fift...
An Easeful Death
Someone is killing beautiful young women and taking extraordinary risks to carefully pose their painted bodies in public places. The first is bronze, then silver — who will be gold? Detective Sergeant Stevie Hooper, young, hard-edged and newly seconded to the Serious Crime Squad, finds herself haunted by increasingly disturbing flashbacks as the bizarre case unfolds. And, as she closes in on the killer, the carefully drawn line between her professional and personal life becomes increasingly blurred, till she doesn't know who can be trusted. ‘ … a delightful pot pourri of police corruption, injustice, tangled emotions, treachery and misunderstanding on top of the literary murders.' — Mary Martin Bookshop Reviews. ‘An Easeful Death contains more red herrings than the Atlantic Ocean, but Young, … handles it all with some skill. In fact this is a couple of notches above a lot of crime dross the bigger publishers invest in. Hopefully Young will find a ready audience. She deserves it.' — Good Reading.
Human Subjects Research after the Holocaust
“An engaging, compelling and disturbing confrontation with evil ...a book that will be transformative in its call for individual and collective moral responsibility." – Michael A. Grodin, M.D., Professor and Director, Project on Medicine and the Holocaust, Elie Wiesel Center for Judaic Studies, Boston University Human Subjects Research after the Holocaust challenges you to confront the misguided medical ethics of the Third Reich personally, and to apply the lessons learned to contemporary human subjects research. While it is comforting to believe that Nazi physicians, nurses, and bioscientists were either incompetent, mad, or few in number, they were, in fact, the best in the world at th...
Marketing Dreams, Manufacturing Heroes
In a globalized economy that is heavily sustained by the labor of immigrants, why are certain nations defined as "ideal" labor resources and why do certain groups dominate a particular labor force? The Philippines has emerged as a lucrative source of labor for countries around the world. In Marketing Dreams, Manufacturing Heroes Anna Romina Guevarra focuses on the Philippines—which views itself as the "home of the great Filipino worker"—and the multilevel brokering process that manages and sends workers worldwide. She unravels the transnational production of Filipinos as ideal migrant workers by the state and explores how race, color, class, and gender operate. The experience of Filipino...
