Three Wise Monkeys - The Quest for Wealth Without Work

Charles van Onselen

Beschreibung

The Three Wise Monkeys trilogy culminates with a forensic examination of South Africa's long struggle to suppress gambling, and especially lotteries. The opposition of the Calvinist churches – both Afrikaans and English-speaking – had its counterpart in the eager embrace of games of chance by the white working class on the Witwatersrand. Focusing on the career of Rufe Naylor, an Australian bookmaker, horse dealer and entrepreneur who, with the help of a defrocked Portuguese Catholic priest, ran the Lourenço Marques Lottery, The Quest for Wealth without Work shows how
the efforts of church and state to control the leisure time and morals of the working class intersected with the need to ensure the flow of cheap mine labour from Mozambique. Ultimately, in the suppression of the Lourenço Marques Lottery – and in campaigns against pinball machines, dog
racing and other 'social evils' – can be seen the emerging outlines of the apartheid police state.

Are You Still Watching? - Using...

Stephanie Kendell, Arthur Stewart

Pop culture does more than entertain us. At its best, it is a mirror—maybe sometimes a distorted fun house mirror—reflecting back to us beauty, absurdity, and profound truth of what it means to be human. These musicians, actors, writers, and producers often sit in the prophet's chair and offer us modern parables with deeper meanings waiting for those with ears to hear. When we watch and listen through a spiritual lens, their stories challenge our beliefs, help us understand our faith, and encourage us to find ways to change how we treat others and the world we share. Are You Still Watching?: Using Pop Culture to Tune In, Find God and Get Renewed for Another Season highlights different entertainment vehicles like television shows, movies, music, and podcasts that showcase the best in humanity or demonstrate ways we can grow in our faith.

I was alone in a dark bar when I met him. He took me to his mansion…he showed me a world I never knew existed. 
It’s easy to get a woman to kneel for you. Bringing a man to heel though…that represents something profound. Most straight guys won’t admit it, but it’s a rush.

I’ll never leave this town.
