Reading Revolution: Shakespeare on Robben Island
ISBN: 9781608462728 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Somehow, Shakespeare always seems to have something to say to us." Nelson Mandela
The prison authorities on apartheid South Africa's Robben Island strictly censored the reading materials inmates received from the outside world. Yet, the prisoners cleverly managed to smuggle political literature disguised as religious texts, into their communal cells. The works of Shakespeare resonated deepest amongst the inmates for their anti-colonial and anti-apartheid inspirations, as much as for the power and beauty of their words. Through the memories and biographical accounts written by former... "Somehow, Shakespeare always seems to have something to say to us." Nelson Mandela

We are the Poors: Community Struggles in Post-apartheid South Africa
ISBN: 9781583670507 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 158 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. When Nelson Mandela was elected president of South Africa in 1994, freedom-loving people around the world hailed a victory over racial domination. The end of apartheid did not change the basic conditions of the oppressed majority, however. Material inequality has deepened and new forms of solidarity and resistance have emerged in communities that have forged new and dynamic political identities. We Are the Poors follows the growth of the most unexpected of these community movements, beginning in one township of Durban, linking up with community and labor struggles in other parts of the...

Wentworth: The Beautiful Game and the Making of Place
ISBN: 9781869144463 / Angielski / Miękka / 2020 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the early 1960s, the city of Durban consolidated racially circumscribed group areas with brutal intensity. In the tiny enclave of Wentworth, designated a Coloured area, newly relocated residents made their homes and sought work in the numerous heavy industries that proliferated on its edges. As people built places of worship and newborn friendships reached across fences and staircases, soccer became the game of choice. Rudimentary pitches were marked out, cool drinks staked and the game unfolded with a mixture of delicate touches and bruising tackles. By the early 1970s, Wentworth's...

ISBN: 9781869140250 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 531 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The South African past is rich with stories of courage, initiative and endeavour which have never become history because they are the stories of those excluded from power. This book seeks to transform some of these stories into history: in this case into the history of cricket in Natal, hitherto dominated by the official and the privileged.

The South African Gandhi: Stretcher-Bearer of Empire
ISBN: 9780804796088 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the pantheon of freedom fighters, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi has pride of place. His fame and influence extend far beyond India and are nowhere more significant than in South Africa. "India gave us a Mohandas, we gave them a Mahatma," goes a popular South African refrain. Contemporary South African leaders, including Mandela, have consistently lauded him as being part of the epic battle to defeat the racist white regime. The South African Gandhi focuses on Gandhi's first leadership experiences and the complicated man they reveal--a man who actually supported the British...

Chatsworth: The Making of a South African Township
ISBN: 9781869142551 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 546 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In 1960, apartheid's planners created the 'Indian' township of Chatsworth, evicting people from established neighbourhoods around Durban and forcibly settling them into the grid of a modern racial ghetto. Making home within this architecture of exclusion, along streets without names, tens of thousands of new residents began building new lives and new communities, developing an urban space with a unique cultural vibrancy born of creativity and economic struggle. With the dismantling of group areas legislation from 1990, and within South Africa's continually changing political landscape,...
