The History of Blood Transfusion in Sub-Saharan Africa

Epidemics The Story of South Africa’s Five Most Lethal Human Diseases

“This is an impressive work.… The reader feels comfortable in the hands of a mature and competent expert who has followed the history of blood transfusion for years, and has indeed already contributed important articles on the subject.“— Myron Echenberg, McGill University All prices and publication dates of forthcoming books are subject to change without notice. Prices given are domestic list prices. Book prices outside the U.S. may be higher. For a complete catalog of publications currently in print, contact Ohio University Press or visit ohioswallow.com.

“This book is a background-primer that can give continuing guidance to changes still taking place in sub-Saharan Africa. Since blood transfusion is a part of so many other medical activities it is also valuable in providing understanding of how those [activities] developed in Africa.”— Paul Schmidt, M.D., Historian for the American Association of Blood Banks and the International Society of Blood Transfusion Perspectives on Global Health 2013 · 244 pages Paperback 978 0 8214 2037 9 $32.95

“Marc Epprecht boldly challenges a whole series of boundaries and blind spots in the history of African scholarship.”— T. Dunbar Moodie “Epprecht’s own interview material and his close reading of a wide range of AIDS literature from across the continent reveals one terrifying fact: researchers have studied HIV/AIDS as a heterosexual disease in Africa because they have been told and have read that there is no homosexuality in Africa.…the assumption that Africa is a continent of heterosexual sex has been deadly for too many people for too long.”— Bulletin of the History of Medicine New African Histories 2008 · 240 pages, illus.

NEW Saul Dubow South Africa’s Struggle for Human Rights The human rights movement in South Africa’s transition to a postapartheid democracy has been widely celebrated as a triumph for global human rights. Yet, less than a generation after the achievement of freedom, the status of human rights and constitutionalism in South Africa is uncertain. In government the ANC has displayed an inconsistent attitude to the protection, and advancement, of hard-won freedoms and rights, and it is not at all clear that a broader civic and political consciousness of the importance of rights is rooting itself more widely in popular culture.

Chocolate Islands Cocoa, Slavery, and Colonial Africa “Higgs has combined careful academic research with the kind of skillful writing you’d expect in a good historical novel…. The book is strikingly relevant to today’s headlines. It is an excellent study for academics who want to know how to research at a professional level and then write well for the public, and it will strongly appeal to general readers.”— Book News “Higgs offers a well-researched examination of the dynamics of race, labor, and colonialism in the early part of the twentieth century.”— Booklist “Catherine Higgs writes about the chocolate islands with clarity and conviction, commanding the evidence while presenting an argument about the ‘dignity of labor’ with an elegance of style.

“Each of the chapters in Trafficking in Slavery’s Wake could stand as a solo article. However, the beauty of the collection is that the pieces say much more when grouped than they would as stand-alones. Patterns emerge. Continuities and discontinuities over time become apparent. Moreover, the contributors have clearly challenged each other to think in new ways.”— Walter Hawthorne, professor of African history at Michigan State University and author of From Africa to Brazil: Culture, Identity, and an Atlantic Slave Trade, 1600–1830 Human trafficking is rapidly emerging as a core human rights issue for the twenty-first century. Trafficking in Slavery’s Wake is excellent reading for the researching, combating, and prosecuting of trafficking in women and children.

What is particularly illuminating about these essays is their potential to inform the study of children in contemporary forms of slavery, where here too, poverty is a central feature, deceit is widespread, and children are perceived as more submissive and easier to control.”— Reviews in History 2009 · 248 pages Paperback 978 0 8214 1877 2 $24.95 Electronic 978 0 8214 4339 2 $19.99 Gwyn Campbell, Suzanne Miers and Joseph C.

Peacebuilding, Power, and Politics in Africa

Violence Analysis, Intervention, and Prevention

Peacebuilding, Power, and Politics in Africa is a critical reflection on peacebuilding efforts in Africa. The authors expose the tensions and contradictions in different clusters of peacebuilding activities, including peace negotiations; statebuilding; security sector governance; and disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration.

Violence: Analysis, Intervention, and Prevention provides a multidisciplinary approach to the analysis and resolution of violent conflicts. In particular, the book discusses ecologies of violence, and micro-macro linkages at the local, national, and international levels as well as intervention and prevention processes critical to constructive conflict transformation.

Heike Behrend Alice Lakwena and the Holy Spirits War in Northern Uganda, 1985–97 In August 1986, Alice Auma, a young woman in Northern Uganda, proclaiming herself under the orders of a Christian spirit named Lakwena, raised an army called Holy Spirit Mobile Forces. With it she waged a war against perceived evil, not only an external enemy, represented by the National Resistance Army of the government, but internal enemies in the form of “impure” soldiers, witches, and sorcerers. She came very close to overthrowing the government and fled

to Kenya. This remarkable book concludes with an account of the successor movements into which Alice’s forces fragmented, including the Lord’s Resistance Army, actively involved in the civil wars of the Sudan and Uganda.

The author argues that the use of force by both sides in their attempts to woo or coerce the jungle dwellers to support one side or the other in the conflict, caused tensions among the Orang Asli that resulted in counter violence against the interlopers and internecine killings in the tribal groups. Violence and the Dream People is an important study of a much neglected facet of the Malayan Emergency and of the history of the indigenous peoples of the Malay Peninsula.

International humanitarian workers, policymakers, military leaders, and government officials will find the book useful.”— Sean Byrne, author of Reconcilable Differences: Turning Points in Ethnopolitical Conflicts Military Intervention after the Cold War: The Evolution of Theory and Practice explores how and why this change took place, looking at how both ideas and actions changed in the post-Cold War period to make military intervention a tool of international security and a defining characteristic of the international system. Although intervention is often touted as a strategy to rebuild collapsed states, successful interventions are rare. Andrea Kathryn Talentino argues that standards of human rights and responsible governance have become part of the definition of international security. She addresses questions that are vital in the post-9/11 world, where weak and collapsed states are recognized as permissive and at times supportive environments for criminal actors.

NEW Ann Tickamyer and Siti Kusujiarti Power, Change, and Gender Relations in Rural Java Javanese women have major responsibilities in supporting their families and controlling household finances. They may also own and manage their own property. Yet these symbols and potential sources of independence and influence are determined by a culturally prescribed, state-reinforced, patriarchal gender ideology that limits women’s autonomy. Power, Change, and Gender Relations in Rural Java examines this contradiction as well as sources of stability and change in contemporary Javanese gender relations. The authors conducted their research in two rural villages in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, during three important historical and political periods: the end of the New Order regime; the transitional period of reformation; and the subsequent establishment of a democratic government. Their collaboration brings a unique perspective, analyzing how gender is constructed and reproduced and how power is exercised as Indonesia faces the challenges of building a new social order.

The second myth it debunks is that these churches are under the control of the Americans. The third myth also dispatched is that African Pentecostal churches are politically quietest.

Hollywood’s Africa after 1994 investigates Hollywood’s colonial film legacy in the postapartheid era, and contemplates what has changed in the West’s representations of Africa. How do we read twenty-first-century projections of human rights issues — child soldiers, genocide, the exploitation of the poor by multinational corporations, dictatorial rule, truth and reconciliation — within the contexts of celebrity humanitarianism, “new” military humanitarianism, and Western support for regime change in Africa and beyond? A number of films after 1994, such as Black Hawk Down, Hotel Rwanda, Blood Diamond, The Last King of Scotland, The Constant Gardener, Shake Hands with the Devil, Tears of the Sun, and District 9, construct explicit and implicit arguments about the effects of Western intervention in Africa. The volume provides analyses by academics and activists in the fields of African studies, English, film and media studies, international relations, and sociology across continents. This thoughtful and highly engaging book is a valuable resource for those who seek new and varied approaches to films about Africa. 2012 · 288 pages Paperback 978 0 8214 2015 7 Electronic 978 0 8214 4433 7

WINNER OF THE 2001 COMMONWEALTH WRITER’S PRIZE

“The scholarship of the manuscript is impressive, and the research thorough, painstaking and up to date. Its original contribution lies in the detailed, perceptive discussion of theatre activities and performances, linked with sophisticated, highly-informed analysis of contemporaneous political structures, events and currents of thought. The breadth of sources drawn on for such analysis, including many newspaper reports and reviews as well as play-scripts, unpublished papers and interviews, is a major strength of the study.”— Barbara Hatley, author of Javanese Performances on an Indonesian Stage “Featuring many illustrations of works in performance, this book will appeal to anyone interested in Indonesian history and politics, or in postcolonial theater and culture.”— Book News RIS Southeast Asia Series No. 123 2010 · 352 pages Paperback 978 0 8968 0275 9 $39.95 Electronic 978 0 8968 0469 2 $31.99

Every city has an unspoken side. Cape Town, between the picture postcard mountain and sea, has its own shadow: a place of dislocation and uncertainty, dependence and desperation, destruction and survival, gangsters, pimps, pedophiles, hunger, hope, and moments of happiness. Living in this shadow is Azure, a thirteen-year-old who makes his living on the streets, a black teenager sought out by white men, beholden to gang leaders but determined to create some measure of independence in this dangerous world. Thirteen Cents is an extraordinary and unsparing account of a coming of age in Cape Town. Reminiscent of some of the greatest child narrators in literature, Azure’s voice will stay with the reader long after this short novel is finished. Based on personal experiences, Thirteen Cents is Duiker’s debut novel, originally published in 2000. 2013 · 200 pages Paperback 978 0 8214 2036 2
