Danger in Police Culture: Perspectives from South Africa offers a fresh perspective on how officers understand, interpret and construct danger. With unique insight from working with uniformed and detective police, the author breaks new ground as the first researcher to work alongside a Tactical Response Team in South Africa.Through ethnographic research in South Africa, Perkins explores the lived experiences of police navigating danger and death. Reframing the question of what makes policing dangerous, the author employs a theoretical framework as a prism, illuminating ambiguous ideas shaping perceptions of danger in police culture. A vivid portrayal of how danger is materialized through risk reduction strategies and artefacts, dramatized through memorialization and normalized in daily police practices, Perkins concludes by reflecting on policy developments aimed at addressing the understanding and influence of danger in contemporary policing.Underscoring the need to reconsider the concept of danger in policing, this is a much-needed assessment of its understanding and impact on contemporary police work.In support of the Perkins Síochána Scholarship, the author's proceeds from the sale of this book will be used to fund the continuing development of South African graduate students in Criminal Justice and Criminology studies in the Global South.

Eine dramatische Häufung unerklärlicher Nebenwirkungen ruft die WHO-Expertin Dr. Laura Delille auf den Plan. Unfruchtbarkeit, Fehlgeburten und Tod greifen um sich. Erste Spuren führen zu einem neuartigen genbasierten Impfstoff. Doch als sich die Symptome weiter verschlimmern und auch Menschen erkranken, die nie damit geimpft wurden, wird klar: Hier geht es um mehr als krasse Nebenwirkungen.Während Laura den rätselhaften Ursachen auf dem afrikanischen Kontinent nachspürt, heftet sich der Reporter Hugh Stevens an ihre Fersen. Seine Recherchen offenbaren: Es handelt sich weder um tragische Zufälle, noch um ein natürliches Phänomen, sondern um den skrupellosen Plan eines Pharmakonzerns.

Say to them, 'As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live.' Ezekiel 33:11 The Bible gives a clear picture of God's heart concerning lost sinners. If the condition of the lost is clearly understood, those who believe in Christ will do all they can to see that this Gospel of the Kingdom is preached to as many as possible. One of the ways this has been accomplished is through the estab- lishment of mission organisations or agencies that work alongside church- es to facilitate the proclamation of the Gospel. The Sudan Interior Mission (SIM)[1] is one such organization whose first missionaries had the burden to reach the interior of Africa, especially the geographical area known, prior to colonial rule, as the Central Sudan. They arrived in this land, now known as Nigeria, in the year 1893. After years of faithful witnessing and teach- ing, churches were established and the converts assumed the burden and re- sponsibility to take this Gospel of the Kingdom to others. They developed a lifestyle of evangelism and took the message they received to those around them. They moved out first to their relatives and neighbours, and then to more distant places to those of different tribes and cultures from their own. In order to facilitate the evangelism outreach of African Christians, SIM helped to organize a mission society for Africans. It was first known as the African Missionary Society (AMS) of the Sudan Interior Mission (SIM). AMS was born out of the early burden and vision passed on to the believers in the newly established SIM churches. The churches were eventually or- ganized into a denomination called the Evangelical Church of West Africa (ECWA). Today the mission society is known as the Evangelical Missionary Society (EMS) of ECWA. 3 4 PANYA BABA Since EMS was first established in 1948, hundreds of African mission- aries have been sent out to preach the Gospel and establish churches among those who do not know the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour. God continues to use EMS missionaries towards the expansion of the Kingdom of God in Nigeria and in other parts of Africa, and beyond. They continue to partici- pate in the vision, established long ago, that all may have the opportunity to hear the Good News of salvation in Christ. The first 50 years of the story of how EMS participated in the vision of reaching the lost is the subject of this book. We say, with the writer of Psalm 126:3, "The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy." One of the tragedies in Israel's history after the death of Joshua, one of the great heroes of faith, is recorded for us in Judges 2:10-11: "Another genera- tion grew up who knew neither the Lord, nor what he had done for Israel. Then the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord and served Baal." This book provides a way for future generations to hear and understand what God has done in the past through His servants who served God as missionaries with EMS. He is waiting to do even more through those who are ready to serve Him today. May God use this brief story of the work of EMS to encourage and challenge many to give themselves more completely to participate in God's plan to reconcile all creation to Himself.

The book aims to provide a historical snapshot of the evolution of the cityscape of Bulawayo from its African colonial roots to post independence developments up to 2023.

A rediscovered classic, and the only known novel by Black abolitionist and political exile Louis Timagène Houat, The Maroons is a fervid account of slavery and escape on nineteenth-century Réunion Island.Frême is a young African man forced into slavery on Réunion, an island east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. Plagued by memories of his childhood sweetheart, a white woman named Marie, Frême seeks her out-but when they are persecuted for their love, the two flee into the forest. There they meet other "maroons": formerly enslaved people and courageous rebels who have chosen freedom at the risk of their lives.Now available in English for the first time, The Maroons highlights slavery's abject conditions under the French empire, and attests to the widespread phenomenon of enslaved people escaping captivity to forge a new life beyond the reach of so-called "civilization." Banned by colonial authorities at the time of its publication in 1844, the book fell into obscurity for over a century before its rediscovery in the 1970s. Since its first reissue, the novel has been recognized for its extraordinary historical significance and literary quality.Presented here in a sensitive translation by Aqiil Gopee with Jeffrey Diteman, and with a keen introduction by journalist and author Shenaz Patel, The Maroons is a vital resource for rethinking the nineteenth-century canon, and a fascinating read on the struggle for freedom and social justice.

These are the stories of a woman's fifteen solo journeys to places that, for awhile, riveted public attention because of their terrifying and elaborate violence: Rwanda, Darfur, the slums of Kenya.Witness, enabler and critic, the author worked as an outlier, just outside the corporate web of humanitarian aid. Her journals explore 'what happens after' a crisis - the grief, resilience, and astonishing aspirations of people struggling to recover. She reveals, through unblinking observations, the nuances of cultures and tragedies unfamiliar to those living in relative peace and prosperity. Out of these missions grew the author's inspiration for Women's Centers International, a movement to respond to the global wildfire of women's needs. Trouble Ahead offers new ways to think about how we can help when it's needed. And compassionate help is always needed ... somewhere.Susan Burgess-Lent is Founder and Executive Director of Women's Center's International (WCI), an Oakland-based non-profit that develops resource centers for women surviving conflict and poverty. Events recounted in this book inspired the creation of WCI. Her career in international relief and development spans twenty-five years; she journeyed on fifteen missions throughout East Africa. Her previous works include a novel, In the Borderlands, and short stories published in the Gargoyle and other anthologies.Her blog www.SusanBurgessLent.com offers insights and commentary about the work to be done by today's women warriors. She's completing a novel, When all the Girls Stopped Singing, and a collection of short stories.Susan lives in Oakland, California.
