The Foundations of the South African Cheap Labour System

The Foundations of the South African Cheap Labour System

Originally published in 1982 this was the first in-depth study of the labour system of the South African gold mining industry during the crucial years 1886 to 1906. It provided an insight into the early period but was relevant for much longer as many of the policies decided upon in the formative years of the industry persisted. The book traces the growth of deep-level mining and covers the conflicts between miners and mine-owners . It discusses the effects on the gold mining industry of the Anglo-Boer War and the role of the mine-owners in that conflict. It also examines the role of Chinese labour as a strategy in the defence of the labour structure and finally discusses the origins of the racially discriminatory legislation which characterized the Apartheid system. | The Foundations of the South African Cheap Labour System

The Soviet System Models of a Political Society

The Soviet System Models of a Political Society

Many things make up a modern society: its history culture natural setting wealth classes and peoples. For some the power structure the political system lies at the heart of the social order. Russia has long been a political society and its future may also be decided in large part by the power structure. A good way to understand Russia and other modern societies is to examine the ties between the Soviet system and the rest of the country's life. George Fischer argues that it is these ties that explain much about the consequences of a communist state. The Soviet System originally published in 1968 presents a provocative challenge to prevailing theories of modernization throughout the world. In this book Fischer takes issue with current assumptions that societies developing an advanced fully modern economy and culture must inevitably adopt Western-type social and political institutions. The author holds that our understanding of contemporary nations is impeded by assessing them in terms of the prevailing American theory of pluralism. The notion that a pluralist division of labor pervades all of modern society is challenged and tested in the context of the former Soviet Union as a modern society. The emergence of the dual executive a leader with a special mixture of political and economic know-how is emphasized as a trend toward a monist model of society. Fischer demonstrates how this model in which all power is public and both industry and culture remain part of a non-capitalist non-liberal state structure can prove useful in studying social change today. The result is a book of value to all scholars and students dealing with the social and political systems of both developing and advanced societies long after the Soviet system of rule dissolved. | The Soviet System Models of a Political Society

Evolution of the British Party System 1885-1940

Evolution of the British Party System 1885-1940

By the end of the nineteenth century reform and development of the British electoral system had inaugurated a new style of mass politics which fundamentally transformed the face of the British party system. This book traces the evolution of recognisably modern parties from their roots in the 1880s through half a century of dramatic change in organisational structure electoral competition and constitutional thought. In the House of Commons the Labour Party replaced the Liberals as the radical answer to the Conservative Party. In the country at large the complex web of Victorian social regional and religious allegiances gave way to a cruder but more dynamic model of modern political loyalties. The transformation at Westminster and in the constituencies is surveyed in relation to changes to the franchise (including the vote for women) class consciousness political organisation and doctrine. The comprehensive account explains the varying fortunes of the parties in the face of mass democracy collectivism the First World War and economic uncertainty. It also provides a critical insight into the debates and conflicts of interpretation which surround this pivotal period in British political history. | Evolution of the British Party System 1885-1940

Culture and System in Family Therapy

Culture and System in Family Therapy

Starting with the MacPherson Report and its pronouncements on racism in Britain and in particular 'institutionalised racism' Dr Krause focuses in this important book on the practice of family therapy and draws on her expertise as both anthropologist and systemic family psychotherapist to formulate a cogent critical evaluation of the field. At the heart of her book furnished with very useful clinical material is a concern to identify the necessary conditions for an 'anti-discriminatory non-ethnocentric and ethical way of working cross-culturally'. In illuminating the way in which underlying and frequently unexamined assumptions serve to perpetuate institutionally discriminatory outcomes the author outlines a model for the development of a culturally sensitised questioning and self-reflexive practice. This book will serve as an individual reference-point for all those concerned to avoid and eliminate institutional discrimination. | Culture and System in Family Therapy

Traditional Values and Local Community in the Formal Educational System in Senegal Relevance Need and Barriers to the Integration of Local

This book explores the discourse of traditional values and local practices within the formal educational system in Senegal investigating how these cultural elements are present in the daily life of the community and integrated into formal schools and teaching. Studying the integration of concepts such as Jom (hard work pride dignity) Kersa (decency) Fule (self-respect) Mun (endurance) Teranga (hospitality) Kal (kinship) and Suture (Protection) it looks at how values are used perceived and understood within communities as well as their positive and negative connotations in the postcolonial context. Based on long-term participant education and utilizing a critical auto-ethnography lens it ultimately proposes that such concepts can be used to counterbalance the Western knowledge to which schoolchildren are mostly exposed connecting this to Bhaba’s system of the ‘Third Space”; a hybrid system to accommodate both educational systems for more relevant education. An informed study of the positive impacts of traditional cultural values on education in Senegal it will appeal to scholars researchers and practitioners of education in post-colonial Francophone countries with interests in culturally relevant education African education post-colonial education and international education. | Traditional Values and Local Community in the Formal Educational System in Senegal Relevance Need and Barriers to the Integration of Local

Commercial Culture The Media System and the Public Interest

Commercial Culture The Media System and the Public Interest

American mass media are the world's most diverse rich and free. Their dazzling resources variety and influence arouse envy in other countries. Their failures are commonly excused on the grounds that they are creatures of the market that they give people what they want. 'Commercial Culture' focuses not on the glories of the media but on what is wrong with them and why and how they may be made better. This powerful critique of American mass communication highlights four trends that sound an urgent call for reform: the blurring of distinctions among traditional media and between individual and mass communication; the increasing concentration of media control in a disturbingly small number of powerful organizations; the shift from advertisers to consumers as the source of media revenues; and the growing confusion of information and entertainment of the real and the imaginary. The future direction of the media Leo Bogart contends should not be left to market forces alone. He shows how the public's appetite for media differs from other demands the market is left to satisfy because of how profoundly the media shape the public's character and values. Bogart concludes that a world of new communications technology requires a coherent national media policy respectful of the American tradition of free expression and subject to vigorous public scrutiny and debate. 'Commercial Culture' is a comprehensive analysis of the media as they evolve in a technological age. It will appeal to general readers interested in mass communications as well as professionals and scholars studying American mass media. | Commercial Culture The Media System and the Public Interest

The Juvenile Court System Social Action and Legal Change

The Juvenile Court System Social Action and Legal Change

This volume is based on a detailed analysis of change in the law and in the administration of justice affecting juvenile off enders in California in the fifties and sixties. It addresses how procedural law develops on a long-term basis and under what conditions. It also examines the processes by which revolutionary changes occur in law and the extent to which social change can be directed or controlled by legislation. Social action to revise California's juvenile court law which had remained little changed since 1915 began in 1958. Subsequently a small group of legal reformers who perceived anomalies in the law and in the underlying philosophy of the court overcame substantial resistance to effect revolutionary revisions of the law. Lemert examines their experience to determine how changes of such magnitude could take place after decades of gradual adaptations in the juvenile courts. His study also looks into the consequences of this change on the court and related agencies of law enforcement. The author sets forth a socio-legal theory of change-a conception of paradigms normal evolution and revolution in law. He applies this theory to data with special attention to the resistance to legal change and the processes by which it gives way to the adaptive process of normal law. Lemert discusses the substantive aspects of juvenile law as it relates to human affect and meaning touching on the existential elements of justice. Professionals dealing with juveniles legal scholars sociologists and political scientists will find this book with its emphasis on how to achieve more equitable administration of juvenile justice has much to contribute to our understanding of the dynamics of social change. | The Juvenile Court System Social Action and Legal Change

Butoh as Heard by a Dancer

Butoh as Heard by a Dancer

This book explores the origins of Butoh in post-war Japan through orality and transmission in conjunction with an embodied research approach. The book is a gathering of seminal artistic voices – Yoshito Ohno Natsu Nakajima Yukio Waguri Moe Yamamoto Masaki Iwana Ko Murobushi Yukio Suzuki Takao Kawaguchi Yuko Kaseki and the philosopher Kuniichi Uno. These conversations happened during an extended research trip I made to Japan to understand the context and circumstances that engendered Butoh. Alongside these exchanges are my reflections on Butoh’s complex history. These are primarily informed by my pedagogical and performance encounters with the artists I met during this time rather than a theoretical analysis. Through the words of these dancers I investigate Butoh’s tendency to evade categorization. Butoh’s artistic legacy of bodily rebellion plurality of authorship and fluidity of form seems prescient and feels more relevant in contemporary times than ever before. This book is intended as a practitioner's guide for dancers artists students and scholars with an interest in non-Western dance and dance history postmodern performance and Japanese arts and culture. | Butoh as Heard by a Dancer

Globalization Multipolarity and Great Power Competition

Globalization Multipolarity and Great Power Competition

In his new book Hanna Samir Kassab examines changes and trends in international politics and the competition between great powers for control of the international system. He argues that the increase in geopolitical economic nationalist and resource competition between three great powers the United States China and Russia points to the changing structure of the international system. This competition is a systemic one focusing more on the rules and norms that defined the system since the end of the Cold War. This American-led unipolar order is translating into a multipolar one. Kassab begins by tracing the decline of the United States after the Iraq War (2003) and the Great Recession (2008) as well as the rise of China and the resurgence of Russia. He describes major foreign policy changes from George H. W. Bush to Donald J. Trump and how the various administrations approached the international system. Russia and China will increase their international influence as the United States pulls back from the international system. Written using simple jargon Globalization Multipolarity and Great Power Competition is equally accessible to academics and casual readers and laypeople interested in international politics.

Civil Defense in Japan Issues and Challenges

Civil Defense in Japan Issues and Challenges

In 2004 Japan instituted a system to protect citizens against military attacks and terrorism for the first time after World War II. Faced with the Tokyo subway attack (1995) the 9/11 terrorist attacks (2001) and the changing security environment in East Asia the Japanese government was forced to implement the most extensive reform of its domestic crisis management [kiki-kanri] system in the postwar era. Japan’s civil defense system is now called civil protection [kokumin-hogo]. Two world wars in the 20th century led to the development of national institutions based on civil defense in Western democratic countries (including the United States and Canada). As times have changed most countries have adopted a comprehensive crisis (or emergency) management system integrating civil defense and disaster management (against natural and technological hazards). However Japan continues to take a different path. Why has a comprehensive crisis management system yet to be formed? How do complex and fragmented institutions work? This book examines the institutions and policies of civil protection (i. e. Japan's civil defense) and further analyzes their effectiveness and issues. Furthermore it also examines the trade-offs resulting from the coexistence of two independent institutions: civil protection and natural disaster management. A valuable read for scholars of Japan’s public administration and security/ defense policy as well as for those researching and comparing disaster-preparedness across countries. | Civil Defense in Japan Issues and Challenges

Capitalist Agriculture and the Global Bee Crisis

Capitalist Agriculture and the Global Bee Crisis

Capitalist agriculture relies heavily on the pollination work of bees but this system harms bees in innumerable ways. Indeed human agriculture is one of the main culprits for the declining populations of wild bees and the declining health of honeybees. This book presents a political ecology of pollination that critically examines how managed honey bees and wild bees are harmed by capitalist agriculture. The book focuses on the three most urgent problems: the standardization and simplification of landscapes through monocultures; the use of pesticides including neonicotinoids other insecticides herbicides and fungicides; and the embeddedness of commercial migratory beekeeping in the capitalist agriculture system which among other things has the potential to spread pests and pathogens across continents. At the heart of this crisis is the power and influence that a small group of agrochemical corporations have over national and international agricultural policy. The book argues for an interspecies alliance of small-scale farmers bee advocates beekeepers environmentalists and bees themselves along with a vision for an agricultural system that nurtures multispecies flourishing. This book will be of significant interest to readers of political ecology animal geography environmental anthropology food system studies and critical animal studies. | Capitalist Agriculture and the Global Bee Crisis

Shaping Teaching Practice in Malaysia A System's View

Shaping Teaching Practice in Malaysia A System's View

What teachers do in the classroom is one of the most significant school-based factors in shaping student learning. Yet the classroom is often referred to as a black box because there's so little we know about what actually happens there. This book provides insights into the black box by describing and then comparing classroom practices in Malaysia’s national public school system and that of a unique subsystem situated within it. Through analysis of hundreds of hours of classroom video data as well as interviews this book goes on to identify and discuss the forces that shape teachers' classroom practices from across the ecological system. What emerged were nuanced insights into how tightly and loosely coupled forces within the centralized Malaysian national system shaped these teachers’ classroom practices which are illustrated in multiple case studies. Additionally this volume uncovers micro disruptions to some tightly coupled forces within the system that could begin to change teachers’ thinking about their classroom practice. These insights will be of interest to international and comparative education researchers education policymakers and education professionals as well as anyone who has ever asked the question Why do teachers do what they do in their classrooms? | Shaping Teaching Practice in Malaysia A System's View

Corporations Accounting Securities Laws and the Extinction of Capitalism

Corporations Accounting Securities Laws and the Extinction of Capitalism

Ever since Marx the future of capitalism has been fiercely debated. Marx and his followers predicted capitalism will end by violent overthrow while others prophesied its demise will be the result of collapsing under its own weight. Still others argue that capitalism will not only continue to exist but continue to expand globally. This book takes a distinctively different approach by presenting solid evidence that capitalism has already ended. The author argues that corporate statutory law securities laws and generally accepted accounting principles have combined to cause the extinction of capitalists. Without capitalists as owners of capital there can be no capitalism. The book examines the factors that converged to contribute to and hasten the extinction of capitalists and thus of capitalism as an economic system in an ironic case of the law of unintended consequences. The very things that were intended to promote protect and sustain capitalism are the things that caused its death. It exposes the fallacy that capitalism as an economic system not only continues to exist but is expanding globally. Capitalism is extinct and the social system constructed on capitalism as an economic system cannot be sustained. This book will appeal to economists accountants historians political scientists lawyers and sociologists as well as students of those disciplines. | Corporations Accounting Securities Laws and the Extinction of Capitalism
