The Namibian War of Independence, 1966-1989: Diplomatic, Economic and Military Campaigns
ISBN: 9780786496594 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book addressees the question of why the decolonization of Namibia was delayed from 1966 to 1989, the period of the war of independence, pitting the Namibian nationalists against the South African minority-ruled regime. The question is approached in terms of the diplomatic, economic, and military campaigns of the Namibian and South African protagonists. Such a framework facilitates comparison with several other decolonization wars that are referred to in the text. In addition, the book examines the aftermath of that war in Namibia in terms of the diplomatic, economic, and military changes...

Poverty Knowledge in South Africa
ISBN: 9780521198752 / Angielski / Twarda / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Poverty is South Africa's greatest challenge. But what is 'poverty'? And how can it be measured and addressed? In South Africa, human-science knowledge about the cost of living grew out of colonialism, industrialization, apartheid, and civil resistance campaigns, which makes this knowledge far from neutral or apolitical. South Africans have used the Poverty Datum Line (PDL) and other poverty indicators to petition the state, to chip away at the pillars of white supremacy and, more recently, to criticize the post-apartheid government's failures to deliver on its promises. Rather than...

"I am told that these men (the Boers) are told to keep on agitating in this way, for a change of Government in England may give them again the old order of things. Nothing can show greater ignorance of English politics than such an idea. I tell you there is no Government-Whig or Tory, Liberal, Conservative, or Radical-who would dare, under any circumstances, to give back this country (the Transvaal).

"When you say, 'Black is Beautiful, ' what in fact you are saying . . . is: Man, you are okay as you are; begin to look upon yourself as a human being."

Israel and South Africa: The Many Faces of Apartheid
ISBN: 9781783605897 / Angielski / Miękka / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Any time that a politician or commentator compares the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to South Africa under apartheid, the response is swift denunciation. Yet many prominent, respected academics and politicians including Jimmy Carter have drawn such parallels, arguing that Israel s treatment of its Arab-Israeli citizens and the people of the occupied territories amounts to no less a system of oppression than apartheid did.
Peoples Apartmarks the first major scholarly attempt to analyze the apartheid analogy and its implications for international law, activism, and policy making....
