Dear Ahmedbhai, Dear Zuleikhabehn


Book Description

In this collection of letters between a South African political prisoner and a community organizer in Durban, two people who have never met become dear friends during the last decade of apartheid. Ahmed Kathrada is being held in Robben Island when he sends a letter to a former flat mate and receives a reply from the man's sister, Zuleikha Mayat, the "Betty Crocker" of South Africa and the editor of the best-selling cookbook Indian Delights. Virtual strangers, these two have in common their small-town Transvaal childhoods, and they find much to explore in their different approaches to culture, politics, and religion. The letters are written with wit and style as they discuss both the issues of the day and the sustenance found in memory.

Static


Book Description

Analyzing postapartheid culture in South Africa, this book critically examines music, cinema, social media, and the politics of change after apartheid. It cuts across academic disciplines, the creative arts, and the media to pose two central questions: Is South Africa changing for the better, or are we static? Is there too much static for us to hear each other clearly? The various chapters provide key insights into recent media phenomena, such as Die Antwoord, a South African rap-rave group; the 2010 Soccer World ∪ Bok van Blerk, a South African musician; Tsotsi, a 2005 film; Kuli Roberts’ Sunday World newspaper column on “coloureds”; the revisionist film Afrikaaps; and the University of the Free State’s Reitz video scandal. The close readings of lyrics, videos, and films are loaded with keen insights explaining what the cultural issues are and why they matter.







Progression in Glaucoma


Book Description

Introduction We mark the eighth consecutive year for the World Glaucoma Association Glaucoma Consensus with Consensus VIII. Our topic is the Progression of Glaucoma. Global experts were invited and assembled by our international co-Chairs beginning in January 2011, to participate in the Project Forum E-Room, a unique online opportunity to facilitate discussion of each of the consensus meetings. Participants then were engaged in the discussion of five topical areas to reach consensus on key issues that surround and permeate all aspects of the progression of glaucoma. The results of these thoughtful discussions then were summarized by each of the sections with preliminary consensus statements. The Draft of the Consensus Report, including the preliminary consensus statements, was distributed to the Societies and Partners for review and comments prior to the Consensus Meeting that took place in Paris on Tuesday, June 28, 2011. On this day, relevant stakeholders engaged in a stimulating, educational, and thought-provoking session that highlighted the review and revision of the consensus statements. The Consensus Report then was finalized by Consensus co- Chairs and Editors. Consensus statements were reviewed and finalized by the expert Consensus Panel. Robert N. Weinreb, Editor




Names and Naming


Book Description

This edited book examines names and naming policies, trends and practices in a variety of multicultural contexts across America, Europe, Africa and Asia. In the first part of the book, the authors take theoretical and practical approaches to the study of names and naming in these settings, exploring legal, societal, political and other factors. In the second part of the book, the authors explore ways in which names mirror and contribute to the construction of identity in areas defined by multiculturalism. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach to onomastics, and it will be of interest to scholars working across a number of fields, including linguistics, sociology, anthropology, politics, geography, history, religion and cultural studies.
