ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Laufer, Stephen / Tsedu, Matada, PUBLISHER: Arnoldsche Verlagsanstalt GmbH, The rising of the black youths 25 years ago, on the 16 June , marks an historical turning- point in South Africa. For the first time, black stood up against the apartheid regime fo the government. Their protest set into motion the long final phase fo white supremacy in the country. For thier lives. Today, Soweto with its great disparities between recently acquired affluence and the old-time misery of the squatters symbolises urbanised South Africa in transition - a country that still vividly carries the scars of its apartheid past in the black townships on the outskirts of Johannesberg, for example. In spite of this, the new South Africa shows promise for the future. This publication includes not only an interview with Nelson Mandela, but also 100 exemplary, striking photographs of Soweto's past and present. It is an impressive photographic account of the contrarities that haunt this South African myth.

Source Material on the History and Ethnology of the Caddo

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Swanton, John R. / Tanner, Helen H. / Tanner, Helen Hornbeck, PUBLISHER: University of Oklahoma Press, First published in , John R. Swanton's "Source Material on the History and Ethnology of the Caddo Indians" is a classic reference on the Caddos. Long regarded as the dean of southeastern Native American studies, Swanton worked for decades as an ethnographer, ethnohistorian, folklorist, and linguist. In this volume he presents the history and culture of the Caddos according to the principal French, Spanish, and English sources. In the seventeenth century, French and Spanish explorers encountered four regional alliances -- Cahinnio, Cadohadacho, Hasinai, and Natchitoches -- within the boundaries of the present-day states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma. Their descriptions of Caddo culture are the earliest sources available, and Swanton weaves the information from these primary documents into a narrative, translated into English, for the benefit of the modern reader. For the scholar, he includes in an appendix the entire text of three principal documents in their original Spanish. The first half of the book is devoted to an extensive history of the Caddos, from De Soto's encounters in to the Caddos' involvement in the Ghost Dance Religion of . The second haft discusses Caddo culture, including origin legends and religious beliefs, material culture, social relations, government, warfare, leisure, and trade. For this edition, Helen Hornbeck Tanner also provides a new foreword surveying the scholarship published on the Caddos since Swanton's time.

Worlds of Illness: Biographical & Cultural Perspectives on

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Radley, Alan / Radley Alan, PUBLISHER: Routledge, In recent years the study of illness as experienced by patients has emerged as an approach to understanding sickness. Descriptions of the everyday situations of people with particular diseases, provide a commentary upon the nature of symptoms and upon the relation of the body to society. This approach stresses the biographical and cultural contexts in which illness arises and is borne by individuals and those who care for them. It emphasises the need to understand illness in terms of the patients own interpretation, of its onset, the course of its progress and the potential of the treatment for the condition. Worlds of Illness examines people's experience of illness and their understanding of what it means to be healthy. The contributors are the first to offer this biographic and cultural approach in one volume, redefining the perspective further and drawing attention to its potential for questioning theoretical assumptions about health and illness.
