  A Country of Two Agricultures

  Nearly three decades after the dawn of democracy, South Africa has remained a country of 'two agricultures'. On the one hand we have a subsistence, primarily non-commercial, black farming segment. On the other hand, however, we have a predominantly commercial and white farming sector that is well-resourced and has access to domestic and international trade networks.
  These disparities can be traced back to South Africa's painful history where, for decades, black farmers were on the margins of government support and also experienced land dispossession and livestock plunder.
  A Country of Two Agricultures focuses less on history and more on the present and the future, explaining why these disparities have persisted in the democratic era, and what it will take to overcome them. It aims to contribute to a better understanding of the variety of agricultural forces, taking into account both questions of domestic political economy and external factors, as well as to bring to light new risks and opportunities.
  Wandile Sihlobo offers insights into the role of agriculture in the South African economy from an agricultural economy perspective, and provides political economy insights that are rooted in the experiences of farming communities on the ground and right through the value chain.
  Beyond insights on the realities this book offers the government, the private sector, and anyone interested in the betterment of the South African economy, tools to grapple with this duality, and proposes a framework for bolstering the black farming segment for growth and competitiveness – and ultimately food security.
  Wandile Sihlobo is the Chief Economist of the Agricultural Business Chamber of South Africa (Agbiz) and the author of Finding Common Ground: Land, Equity and Agriculture.

  A look at the history of psychiatry’s foundational impact on the lives of queer and gender-variant people. 
    
  In the mid-twentieth century, American psychiatrists proclaimed homosexuality a mental disorder, one that was treatable and amenable to cure. Drawing on a collection of previously unexamined case files from St. Elizabeths Hospital, In the Shadow of Diagnosis explores the encounter between psychiatry and queer and gender-variant people in the mid- to late-twentieth-century United States. It examines psychiatrists’ investments in understanding homosexuality as a dire psychiatric condition, a judgment that garnered them tremendous power and authority at a time that historians have characterized as psychiatry’s “golden age.” That stigmatizing diagnosis made a deep and lasting impact, too, on queer people, shaping gay life and politics in indelible ways. In the Shadow of Diagnosis helps us understand the adhesive and ongoing connection between queerness and sickness.

  From Light to Darkness - How...

  The universe, with its vast expanse of stars, planets, and cosmic matter, is a complex and ever-evolving structure. At the heart of this cosmic web lie galaxies, massive systems of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter that are bound together by gravity. Galaxies are not random collections of matter; they are highly organized systems that exhibit specific structures and behaviors. Understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies is central to our comprehension of the universe. 
  The earliest galaxies began forming shortly after the Big Bang, as matter began to coalesce under the influence of gravity. These early galaxies were small and irregular, lacking the well-defined shapes we see in present-day galaxies. Over time, galaxies merged and grew larger, eventually settling into the diverse forms we recognize today, such as spiral, elliptical, and irregular galaxies. The structures of these galaxies are shaped by a variety of factors, with gravity being the dominant force that governs their organization. 
  Light plays a crucial role in understanding galactic structures. The radiation emitted by stars, gas clouds, and other objects within a galaxy allows astronomers to study its composition, temperature, and movement. Observing the light emitted from these objects gives us insight into the processes occurring within a galaxy, including star formation, the dynamics of the galaxy's core, and the behavior of supermassive black holes. However, light alone does not reveal the full picture. There is another component of the universe that has a more subtle but profound effect on galactic structures—dark space.
