Wrappers slightly rubbed, with trace of curl to bottom fore-corner of upper cover. Very good condition. "The violence associated with the hostel/township conflict is the result of a complex set of factors. Competition between emerging political groups undoubtedly explains much of the present violence in South Africa. However, there are a number of other factors such as social, demographic, economic and ethnic issues; various structural realities; crime, and aspects of policing which impact on the violence generally and more specifically on the hostel/township conflict. Some of the key issues around hostels associated with high levels of violence include overcrowding, inadequate facilities, high levels of unemployment, and a high rate of political mobilisation which increases levels of political competition between hostel residents and the surrounding… Read More

"The editors of this volume have presented eleven essays which indicate the practical scope of the geographer's approach to the day-to-day operation of human society. The subjects range from the geographer's studies of air pollution and its control, through a diversity of interrelated physical and human geographical fields, to the role of geographers in politics and political decision-making. ... This volume aims to demonstrate to students of geography the range of applications open to them, and at the same time to indicate to non-geographers the important potential of geographical techniques applied to evaluation and planning." .

(Johannesburg, The South African Institute of International Affairs, 2001). 240 x 165 mm; laminated pictorial wraps; pp. (viii) + 109. Fine condition. "The process of police transformation in societies undergoing transition is an issue of some importance. This has certainly been the case in both South Africa and Northern Ireland where questions of policing change are critical to the success of the process of political compromise as well as the sustainability of post-transition democratic systems. Lessons from police change in South Africa and Northern Ireland also have wider implications. These societies have often been compared in the past and there have been important South African inputs into the Northern Ireland peace process. Contrasting the different approaches to police change may hold lessons for other countries facing similar challenges. This volume also provides an accessible record of the co-operation between the police agencies in both countries during the change period. A… Read More

Description:
(Johannesburg: South African Institute of Race Relations, 1990). 210 x 150 mm; pictorial wraps; pp. viii + 54; black-and-white photographs. Very good condition. 'South Africa's cities contain many more families than they do houses. So as many as seven million people, most of them black, have built their own shelters there. What are these shack settlements like? Who runs them? Do people live in them by choice? Where do they get water from? How much business do they contain? This study tries to answer all these questions, drawing extensively on fieldwork in seven shack settlements on the Reef. Mashabela writes about the hopes and fears of shack dwellers, how they mobilise themselves against attempts to remove them, how they organise themselves politically. He talks about poverty and unemployment about attempts to cope with problems like illiteracy, about failure and success. He writes also about the causes and consequences of violence in the shack settlements.' .

It also compares the attitudes and values of opinion leaders with those of the public, and assesses the level of congruence between opinion leaders and the general public. ... [It] should be stressed that this is predominantly an opinion leader study, which implies that generalisations should not be made to the broader South African public. Generalisations are only applicable to opinion leaders in South Africa." .
