Sexual Abuse of Young Children in Southern Africa
With contributions from leading legal and policy researchers, clinical practitioners and child development specialists in southern Africa, this volume is an invitation to reflect on the many-sided nature of sexual abuse of young children. Many of the contributors propose effective ways to prevent abuse or improve care and services for the many affected children and their families. The book is in five parts. The opening section confronts the realities of sexual abuse of pre-pubertal children and the way abuse is represented in the press. The second section discusses the individual and socio-cultural causes of child sexual abuse. Section three covers legal and policy responses to the problem, while the fourth section presents a series of accounts of interventions on behalf of abused children drawn from South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. The book concludes with some critical reflections on research in this area.
The Decolonization of Knowledge
A timely and innovative study on how the decolonization movement is transforming universities, curricula and campuses.
Love in the Time of AIDS
In some parts of South Africa, more than one in three people are HIV positive. Love in the Time of AIDS explores transformations in notions of gender and intimacy to try to understand the roots of this virulent epidemic. By living in an informal settlement and collecting love letters, cell phone text messages, oral histories, and archival materials, Mark Hunter details the everyday social inequalities that have resulted in untimely deaths. Hunter shows how first apartheid and then chronic unemployment have become entangled with ideas about femininity, masculinity, love, and sex and have created an economy of exchange that perpetuates the transmission of HIV/AIDS. This sobering ethnography challenges conventional understandings of HIV/AIDS in South Africa.
The Collings, Richeys, and the Pigeon Roost Massacre
William Elston Collings (1758-1828) and his wife, Phoebe Haugland, with their family lived at Pigeon Roost, Scott County, Indiana. They, along with the entire community, were subjects of the Indian massacre of 3 September, 1812. The authors have tried to locate descendants of the survivors, who have scattered throughout the country.
