The Struggle Continues - A History of South Africa from Apartheid to Democracy

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

South Africa has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent decades, from the era of apartheid to the present day. This book tells the story of that transformation, from the early days of racial segregation to the challenges and opportunities of the post-apartheid era.

The legacy of apartheid continues to shape South African society in profound ways. The country is still grappling with the deep inequalities that were created by decades of racial discrimination. Poverty, unemployment, and crime remain major challenges, particularly for the black majority population. However, South Africa has also made significant progress in building a more just and equitable society. The country has a vibrant democracy, a strong constitution, and a growing economy.

The struggle for liberation in South Africa was a long and difficult one. It involved many sacrifices and setbacks, but it ultimately led to the end of apartheid and the establishment of a democratic government. The story of this struggle is an inspiring one, and it is a reminder of the power of human resilience.

The new South Africa is still a work in progress. There are many challenges that need to be addressed, but there is also a great deal of hope for the future. The country has a young and vibrant population, and there is a growing sense of optimism about the future. South Africa has the potential to be a beacon of hope for the rest of the continent and the world.

This book is a comprehensive overview of the history of South Africa from apartheid to democracy. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the country's past, present, and future. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, and it is packed with information and insights. It is a valuable resource for students, scholars, and anyone interested in the history of South Africa.

This book is also a story of hope. It is a story of a country that has overcome great adversity to build a better future. It is a story that shows that change is possible, even in the most difficult of circumstances.

The Mother Artist - Portraits of...

Catherine Ricketts

Few women artists feature prominently in the history of art, and even fewer who are mothers. What can we learn about ambition, limitation, and creativity from women who persist in doing both? 
 
 
 
Forged in the stress of early motherhood, The Mother Artist explores the fraught yet generative ties between caregiving and creative practice. As a young mother working at a museum, essayist Catherine Ricketts began asking questions about the making of motherhood and the making of art. Now, with incantatory prose and an intuitive gaze, she twines intimate meditations on parenthood with studies of the work and lives of painters, writers, dancers, musicians, and other creatives. Ricketts takes listeners through the studios of mother artists, placing us in the company of women from the past and the present who persevere in both art and caregiving. We encounter Senga Nengudi's sculptures, which celebrate the pregnant body, and Toni Morrison's powerful writing on childbirth. We behold Joan Didion's meditations on maternal grief and Alice Neel's portraits of mothers and babies. And we observe the ambition of sculptor Ruth Asawa, the activism of printmaker Elizabeth Catlett, and the constancy of writer Madeleine L'Engle. This book is for mothers who aspire to make art, anyone eager to discover the stories of visionary women, and all who long for a revolution of tenderness.

Authoritarianism and...

Arlo Holders

This bundle consists of the following books: 
  - Totalitarianism Unmasked: Totalitarianism is a political system in which the state holds total control over every aspect of public and private life, leaving no room for opposition or individual freedoms. Unlike other forms of governance, where political competition and individual rights are somewhat preserved, totalitarianism demands absolute loyalty and conformity. The concept of totalitarianism emerged in the early 20th century, though its roots can be traced back to ancient and medieval periods. In its modern form, it is most closely associated with dictatorial regimes that arose in the aftermath of World War I and throughout the 20th century. 
  - Kleptocracy: Kleptocracy, derived from the Greek words kleptēs (thief) and kratos (rule), refers to a system of governance where leaders exploit their positions of power to enrich themselves at the expense of the public. It is a regime of theft, where corruption is not merely an incidental byproduct of governance but a fundamental aspect of its operation. In kleptocratic systems, the state becomes a tool for personal and collective gain for a small elite, often at the cost of societal well-being and economic development. 
  - Corporatism: Corporatism, as a political and economic system, refers to the integration of corporate and governmental interests, where the lines between the state and private enterprises often blur. It involves the collaboration of various sectors, such as businesses, government, and occasionally labor unions, to form policies and frameworks that benefit the economy and society, but sometimes at the expense of democratic processes.
