Violence in a Time of Liberation: Murder and Ethnicity at a South African Gold Mine, 1994
ISBN: 9780822348535 / Angielski / Miękka / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How can we account for the apparent increase in ethnic violence across the globe? Donald L.

He examines an incident that occurred at a South African gold mine at the moment of the 1994 elections that brought apartheid to a close. Black workers ganged up on the Zulus among them, killing two and injuring many more. While nearly everyone came to characterize the conflict as "ethnic," Donham argues that heightened ethnic identity was more an outcome of the violence than its cause. Based on...

He describes four ways in which organized learning spurs ethnic conflicts. Socialization in school shapes students' identities and the norms governing intercommunal relations. Education can also increase students' frustration and...

Recognizing that many groups skimp on assessment fearing an analysis paralysis, or design programs based on untested assumptions, this...
