Book Description
Archbishop Desmond Tutu once said: “If South Africans were to overcome the damage apartheid had caused they have to face up to its results one by one and work through them. For this reconciliation to happen, those responsible for apartheid first had to confess their sin: ‘we have wronged you and hurt you by this apartheid and its injustices, by uprooting you from your lands and homes, by dumping you in poverty-stricken homelands and squatter camps, by giving your children inferior education, and by denying that you are human beings by denying you human rights. We are sorry, please forgive us.’ Tutu further said that those who had committed crime against humanity had to make repayments. “If I have stolen your pen, I can’t really be apologetic when I say ‘please forgive me’ if at the same time I still refuse with your pen and keep it. If I am truly regretful, I will demonstrate this genuine remorse by returning your dispossessed possessions to you.” “In keeping silent about crime, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are promoting it, and it will rise up a million fold in the future. When we neither punish nor criticise criminals, we are their partners in crime and not simply protecting their ill-gotten riches, we are condemning the future African generations to live and die in the depths of poverty and suffering. Kaffirship fathered and mothered apartheid, as apartheid was declared a crime against humanity, so the continuing Kaffirship should also be declared a crime against humanity. Kaffirship is the legalised injustice that still handcuffs Africans in the endless status quo of landless, moneyless, helpless and hapless. Kaffirship is the name of the ship in which all Africans are packed; it is set and predestined to sail with its load to the Death Sea. It is sailing on automatic and none of us seems to have sense enough to turn it around or at least stop it.”: Tau Sebata Mohapi

Book Description
In this innovative book, Duane Jethro creates a framework for understanding the role of the senses in processes of heritage making. He shows how the senses were important for crafting and successfully deploying new, nation-building heritage projects in South Africa during the post-apartheid period. The book highlights how heritage dynamics are entangled in evocative, changing sensory worlds. Heritage Formation and the Senses in Post-Apartheid South Africa features five case studies that correlate with the five main Western senses. Examples include touch and the ruination of a series of art memorials; how vision was mobilised to assert the authority of the state sponsored Freedom Park project in Pretoria; how small memories of apartheid era social life in Cape Town informed contemporary struggles for belonging after forced removal; how taste informed debates about the attempted rebranding of Heritage Day as barbecue day; and how the sound of the vuvuzela, popularised during the FIFA 2010 Football World Cup, helped legitimise its unofficial African and South African heritage status. This book makes a valuable contribution to the field of sensory studies and, with its focus on aesthetics and material culture, is in synch with the broader material turn in the humanities. This is important reading for students and scholars of anthropology, sociology, sensory studies, and transnational studies.

Book Description
This book examines the shifting moral and spiritual lives of white Afrikaners in South Africa after apartheid. The end of South Africa’s apartheid system of racial and spatial segregation sparked wide-reaching social change as social, cultural, spatial and racial boundaries were transgressed and transformed. This book investigates how Afrikaners have mediated the country’s shifting boundaries within the realm of religion. For instance, one in every three Afrikaners used these new freedoms to leave the traditional Dutch Reformed Church (NGK), often for an entirely new religious affiliation within the Pentecostal or Charismatic churches, or New Religious Movements such as Wiccan neopaganism. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in the Western Cape area, the book investigates what spiritual life after racial totalitarianism means for the members of the ethnic group that constructed and maintained that very totalitarianism. Ultimately, the book asks how these new Afrikaner religious practices contribute to social solidarity and integration in a persistently segregated society, and what they can tell us about racial relations in the country today. This book will be of interest to scholars of religious studies, social and cultural anthropology and African studies.

Book Description
Hi, I'm Pat Browning. I'm proud you chose to ride along with me a little way. My whole life has been spent cowboying, except for two brief moments when I thought I'd try something else awhile. Both attempts were fairly successful but completely unfulfilling. Once you've made your living horseback, everything else seems a little dull. As this goes to the publisher, I am running a large cow ranch with two divisions here in Arizona. I wrote this story while I was running another ranch down near the Mexican border. The truth of the matter is, I not only cowboy because I love life, it's just about the only thing I'm really fit to do. Not being nearly smart enough to work in one of these computerized hamburger joints, and still having too much self-respect and pride to enter politics, cowboying is about all that's left for me. Many parts of this tale are true, with just enough storyline and pure bullshit added, to hopefully make this tale interesting to a wider demographic of readers. On the advice and insistence of a dear friend of mine, who happens to be an attorney, the following disclaimer is included here; This story is being presented as fiction. Any similarity or resemblance to any place, event, or person, either living or deceased is absolutely coincidental and unintentional and should be taken as such. If you enjoy one of the characters and feel a kinship with them, feel free to tell your friends I was writing about you. I'll not dispute your claim. If, however, you think you recognize yourself in a character and are not pleased with my depiction of said character, please remember this is fiction. I'm writing about some other asshole. You may find the language just a little strong at times. I assure you now, with the exception of a little of this cowboy corral vernacular, this volume contains nothing inappropriate of a sexual, violent, or vulgar nature. It should not offend any, but possibly, the most delicate of readers. With all of that said, please take a deep seat and get a good hold on the reins and enjoy the ride.

Book Description
Ever since Europeans discovered and came to conquer and colonize the Americas, a great question occupied European Christians. Did Jesus Christ, or his immediate successors the Apostles and the first Christians who followed, cross the great Atlantic or Pacific Oceans and proselytize among the indigenous peoples of the New World? Read the story of what may have happened. Using his knowledge of the age of the Conquest, the author begins with a shipwreck and an artifact and weaves the story of the Andean cross, a piece of Christian culture that is both American and European. This faced-paced story spanning Europe, North America, and Latin America will electrify you with its implications on the great age of the Encounter and the secrets and mysteries of Christianity that still fascinate so many.
