Updated throughout to reflect political developments across the continent, this second edition of Inside African Politics not only provides thorough coverage of the full range of core topics, but also furthers an awareness and understanding of key theoretical issues and current debates.
Offers an analysis of the causes, nature, and changing patterns of armed conflict in Africa as well as the reasons for these patterns. This book also situates conflicts that have been haunting the African continent since decolonisation within various theoretical schools, such as ‘new war’, ‘economic war’, ‘neo-patrimonial’, and ‘globalisation’.
For the past three decades, Sino-African relations have attracted widespread coverage for the political, economic, and diplomatic engagements between African countries and China, as well as grassroots interactions and encounters between Africans and Chinese. Such engagements and interactions feature controversies, tensions, and biases fuelled by the subjective viewpoints of various actors and observers. Academica Press

Illustrates the changing constitution and the variability of households, fluid understandings of family, and the impact of these in the context of life changes and health problems. Through 29 case studies of people of diverse backgrounds, the authors explore the household as a site for the production of health and care.
Multi-layered inequalities and a sense of insecurity have long been the hallmark of South African life. Recently, however, the uncertainties of COVID-19 have led to greater shared experiences of vulnerability among South Africans. This volume offers perspectives that may help us navigate our way through the ‘new normal’ in which we find ourselves. HSRC Press

DECOLONISATION AS DEMOCRATISATION
Kwan Kew Lai 2020 248pp, 50 photos 9781476679723 Paperback US$39.95
Global Insights into the South African Experience Edited by Siseko H. Kumalo
Showcases how decolonisation protects the constitutionally enshrined ideal of academic freedom and the freedom of scientific research. This book argues that this framing of decoloniality should not be used to protect interests that seek to undermine the transformation of higher education.
In 2006, Kwan Kew Lai left her position as a professor in the United States to provide medical humanitarian aid to the remote villages and the worn-torn areas of Africa. This memoir follows her experiences from 2006 to 2013 providing insight into communities and transports readers to heart-achingly beautiful parts of Africa not usually frequented by travellers.

Public Intellectuals in South Africa
Offering concise portraits of some 75 influential South African public intellectuals, past and present, this book not only showcases an astonishing array of achievements, but also explores the context, influences, and unique tensions shaping each individual’s life and bears testimony to their continuing relevance.
Aims to expand the conversation on what human journeys may signify in the African context with several oral and modern narratives. Reading African journeys as distressed and financially motivated adventures contradicts the polysemic significance accorded to human journeys in the African narratives examined in this monograph. It also precludes a full understanding of what travelling may mean in the various cultures found in Africa.

Jan 2022 277pp 9781476685991 Paperback US$39.95
Encompasses the process of colonisation and decolonisation from the early modern period to the twentieth century. Osterhammel shows that the colonial situation developed in ways that duplicated neither the metropolis nor the pre-colonial society, but instead blended these and added a new direction characteristic only of colonial realms.
Promoted to major-general by the Kaiser in 1917, Lieutenant Colonel Paul Emil von Lettow-Vorbeck led the only undefeated German force to surrender to the Allies, well after the end of hostilities in Europe. This history follows what began as a campaign of conquest and devolved into a hunt for a single general and his small, loyal command.

The Spanish authorities and the Inquisition were aware that the lower castes were in close social and sexual contact with one another, and that many of their subjects were of mixed race. This book explores the question of how free and enslaved Africans and secret Jews interacted in daily life. Markus Wiener Publishers
