Sinopsis

Greek Polis Governance explores the fascinating world of ancient Greek city-states, examining how these scattered settlements evolved into foundational units of Western political thought. The book highlights the unique blend of citizen participation, council governance, and legal practices that defined the polis, arguing that these elements laid the groundwork for modern concepts of democracy and civic responsibility. Intriguingly, a polis's success was directly linked to the degree of inclusive citizen participation and adherence to established laws, showcasing the importance of shared responsibility.

 
The book unfolds systematically, first establishing the geographical, social, and economic context of the polis's rise. It then delves into the concept of citizenship, differentiating between various categories of residents and analyzing rights and responsibilities. The subsequent sections examine the roles and composition of councils, such as the Athenian Boule, and Greek legal practices, using case studies to illustrate key concepts. This approach, bridging history, political science, and law, allows for a deeper understanding of the theories of political philosophy that developed alongside these political structures, making it valuable for students and general readers alike.

Black Consciousness - A Love Story

Hlumelo Biko

‘If Steve Biko were alive today, we would have a country that gladly embraces African culture as the dominant driving force for how society is organised ...’ 
In 1968, two young medical students, Steve Biko and Mamphela Ramphele, fell in love while dreaming of a life free from oppression and racial discrimination. Their love story is also the story of the founding of the Black Consciousness Movement (BCM) by a group of 15 principled and ambitious students at the University of Natal in Durban in the early 1970s. 
  
In this deeply personal book, Hlumelo Biko, who was born of Steve and Mamphela’s union, movingly recounts his parents’ love story and how the BCM’s message of black self-love and self-reliance helped to change the course of South African history. 
  
Based on interviews with some of the BCM’s founding members, Black Consciousness describes the early years of the movement in vivid detail and sets out its guiding principles around a positive black identity, black theology and the practice of Ubuntu through community-based programmes. 
  
In spiritual conversation with his father, Hlumelo re-examines what it takes to live a Black Consciousness life in today’s South Africa. He also explains why he believes his father – who was brutally murdered by the apartheid police in 1977 – would have supported true radical economic transformation if he were alive today.
