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

Pasquale De Marco

Summary

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.

Agents of Influence - How the...

Mark Hollingsworth

There's no such thing as a former KGB man. 
 
 
 
Agents of Influence reveals the secret history of an intelligence agency gone out of control, accountable to no one but itself and intent on subverting Western politics on a near-inconceivable scale. In 1985, 1,300 KGB officers were stationed in the USA. The FBI only had 350 counter-intelligence officers. Since the early days of the Cold War, the KGB seduced parliamentarians and diplomats, infiltrated the highest echelons of the Civil Service, and planted fake news in papers across the world. 
 
 
 
More disturbingly, it never stopped. Putin is a KGB man through and through. Journalist Mark Hollingworth reveals how disinformation, kompromat and secret surveillance continue to play key roles in Russia's war with Ukraine. It seems frighteningly easy to destabilize Western democracy.

Nietzsche's The Birth of Tragedy

Friedrich Nietzsche

In this, his first book, he developed a way of thinking about the arts that unites the Greek gods Apollo and Dionysus as the central symbol of human existence. Although tragedy serves as the focus of this work, music, visual art, dance, and the other arts can also be viewed using Nietzsche’s analysis and integration of the Apollonian and the Dionysian.
 
The Birth of Tragedy stands alongside Aristotle’s Poetics as essential works for all who seek to understand poetry and its relationship to human life.

After the Fires - Unlocking the...

Nozipho Tshabalala

Nozipho Tshabalala is a high-performing, excellence-driven, successful black woman. Being in control of everything in her life was crucial to her survival 
and success. For the most part, it had always served her well – until it didn’t. In this captivating and deeply personal memoir, conversation strategist 
Nozipho invites you into her world – one shaped by political violence, professional triumphs on global stages and the intimate battles with loss that 
would test her most fundamental beliefs. Now in her 40s, she has realised that what she needed most to survive may not be what she needs to thrive. 
After the Fires is a call to reclaim the narrative amid life’s unexpected turns. It honours the complexity of womanhood while celebrating the possibility of 
becoming exactly who you were meant to be, even when that person looks nothing like what you imagined. With vulnerability and wisdom, Nozipho demonstrates how surrender becomes not an act of defeat but a pathway to freedom. Her story reminds us that sometimes our greatest strength lies not in holding tighter but in opening our hands to release what no longer serves us.

Feudalism and Its Transition -...

Arlo Holders

This book contains the following titles: 
  - The Feudal System: Feudalism was a dominant social, economic, and political system in medieval Europe that shaped the lives of millions from the 9th to the 15th centuries. Rooted in the decline of the Roman Empire, it emerged as a response to the need for local defense, stability, and order. With the fall of centralized authority, particularly in the wake of the collapse of Roman imperial power, local leaders, and warriors filled the vacuum, giving rise to a new hierarchical structure that became the backbone of medieval society. 
  - The End of Feudalism: Feudalism was a social, political, and economic system that dominated medieval Europe, particularly from the 9th to the 15th century. Its structure was based on the exchange of land for loyalty, military service, and labor. At its core, feudalism established a hierarchical order in which the king, or monarch, granted land, known as fiefs, to vassals (nobles) in exchange for their service. In turn, these vassals would grant portions of their land to serfs or peasants, who worked the land in return for protection and sustenance. This land-based economy was highly localized, with power concentrated in the hands of a few, and much of daily life revolved around agricultural production.
