Tourism as an activity is increasingly being criticised for its exploitative and extractive industrial approaches to business. Yet, it has the power to transform and to regenerate societies, cultures and the environment. The desire to explore the world around us is deeply embedded in many people’s psyche, but it comes at a cost to the environment and often to the residents of the visited communities. Much of tourism education has been closely linked to preparing students for future professional practice, but the challenges and opportunities linked to its consumption require that its future leaders must exhibit very different values and understandings to tackle ever more complex and wicked problems from which tourism cannot dissociate itself. This compilation of values-based learning experiences can be adapted to suit the needs and disposition of individual instructors and aims not only to engage students in the subject matter but also deepen their understanding of its complexity and interconnectivity and help them become global citizens that lead lives of consequence.

On a February night in Kyiv in 2013, former president of Poland Aleksander Kwaśniewski turned to his friend Pat Cox, the former president of the European Parliament, and joked, "They've got a lot of empty space on this square--an ideal location to put up statues of you and me." Over a year and a half, the two visited Ukraine 27 times, negotiating the release of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, which would allow Ukraine to sign the Association Agreement with the European Union. The Cox-Kwaśniewski mission was part of the EU's final effort to save the Agreement and give millions of Ukrainians the hope of a European future. All the while, Russia was using a trade embargo to draw Ukraine into the Eurasian Union. After an intricate game of lies, bluffing and blackmail, Viktor Yanukovych backed out of closer relations with Europe. Feeling betrayed, Ukrainians took to the streets and a wave of civil unrest was born.
Inside African Anthropology offers an incisive biography of the life and work of South Africa's foremost social anthropologist, Monica Hunter Wilson. By exploring her main fieldwork and intellectual projects in southern Africa between the 1920s and 1960s, the book offers insights into her personal and intellectual life. Beginning with her origins in the remote Eastern Cape, the authors follow Wilson to the University of Cambridge and back into the field among the Mpondo of South Africa, where her studies resulted in her 1936 book Reaction to Conquest. Her fieldwork focus then shifted to Tanzania, where she teamed up with her husband, Godfrey Wilson. In the 1960s, Wilson embarked on a new urban ethnography with a young South African anthropologist, Archie Mafeje, one of the many black scholars she trained. This study also provides a meticulously researched exploration of the indispensable contributions of African research assistants to the production of this famous woman scholar's cultural knowledge about mid-twentieth-century Africa.
Ons het jou lief, Lukas is ’n fiktiewe verhaal wat op ’n ware gesinsverhaal gebaseer is. Dit is Susan Westra se storie – Lukas se vrou wat die keuse gemaak het om haar man met sy bipolêre gemoedsversteuring en alkohol-afhanklikheid deur die oë van Jesus Christus te bly sien. Dit is die verhaal van Gabi – die tiener wat al self so baie verduur het en wat met die plaasmoord waarin haar beste vriendin, haar kêrel en hul ouers sterf, haar laaste bietjie onskuld verloor. Dit is die verhaal van Gabi se suster Tania, en Tania se verhouding met Louis Maree: die suiwerheid daarvan, maar ook die skade uit Tania verlede wat dreig om dit te kelder. Die verhale van die drie vroue van die Westra-gesin is vervleg met Lukas se verhaal van stryd, selfveragting, woede, genade en broosheid by God. Ons het jou lief, Lukas is ’n eerlike en inspirerende verhaal van geloof, geloofskeuses en volharding, ’n doring in die vlees-oorwinningsroman.
