Summary

Medieval Court Protocol unveils the royal court as the central stage for medieval governance, where power was negotiated through ceremony, law, and social structure. Rather than a mere backdrop, the court was integral to shaping society. Intriguingly, the effectiveness of a ruler often depended on their mastery of courtly protocol, allowing them to maintain stability and expand influence.

 
Political rituals, like coronations, projected power and reinforced social hierarchies. The book explores the structural organization of royal courts, the formal and informal rules of courtly behavior, and political rituals. It examines how the court, a nexus of influence, dictated access to the ruler and communicated authority.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the structure of medieval courts, then exploring unwritten rules and expectations, and finally analyzing specific political rituals, demonstrating how these events projected power. This approach offers a fresh perspective on medieval political maneuvering.

    The Conference of the Birds or Speech of the Birds is a Persian poem by Sufi poet Farid ud-Din Attar, commonly known as Attar of Nishapur. The title is taken directly from the Qur'an, 27:16, where Sulayman and Dāwūd are said to have been taught the language, or speech, of the birds. 
    In the poem, the birds of the world gather to decide who is to be their sovereign, as they have none. The hoopoe, the wisest of them all, suggests that they should find the legendary Simorgh. The hoopoe leads the birds, each of whom represents a human fault which prevents humankind from attaining enlightenment.

    Wandile Sihlobo and Johann Kirsten chose to write The Uncomfortable Truth about South Africa's Agriculture in a candid, direct and unfiltered tone, not out of disregard, but with the hope of stirring South African agricultural stakeholders from inertia that may have taken hold over time.
    One clear example of inertia is the endless policy discussions. When the government proposes policy positions – either good or bad – time is spent discussing these policies instead of anything substantive being done. The divisions amongst South African farmer organisations is the core issue behind the interminable conversations and this results in a 'performance of productivity' among participants in these meetings, creating an impression of progress simply because discussions are taking place.
    While politicians and farmer representatives debate, farmers suffer, the unemployed languish, and small towns crumble. Poor roads and rising costs choke market access, while collapsing municipalities pile pressure on agribusinesses.
    Things don't have to be this way, and the South African agricultural sector still has great potential to grow, increase employment, and revitalise the rural economy. This book will empower the reader with a clearer understanding of the agricultural constraints and how to overcome them and mobilise the much-needed sectorial focus to implementation.
    While the contents may be uncomfortable for some, this book is intended to ignite an urgent call for decisive policy and programme implementation and to demand stronger collaboration among social partners.

    The history of civil rights in America is deeply intertwined with the nation’s founding principles, yet it is also defined by contradictions that stem from its treatment of African Americans. Slavery, which was institutionalized from the country’s early days, placed millions of African people in bondage and marked the beginning of a long struggle for racial equality. Enslaved individuals were considered property rather than people, denied basic human rights, and subjected to a life of forced labor and brutality. This practice was vital to the economic growth of the southern states, where plantations relied on enslaved labor to produce cash crops like cotton, tobacco, and sugar. The dehumanizing nature of slavery created an enduring racial hierarchy that persisted even after its formal abolition. 
    The end of the Civil War in 1865, with the passage of the 13th Amendment, theoretically liberated enslaved people. However, the promise of freedom was not immediately realized, as the southern states passed a series of laws known as Black Codes. These laws sought to maintain white dominance by severely limiting the rights and freedoms of African Americans. The Black Codes restricted mobility, employment opportunities, and legal protections, pushing many freedmen and women back into forced labor through sharecropping arrangements that mirrored slavery in many ways. Despite these setbacks, African Americans began to organize, laying the groundwork for future civil rights movements.
