Tokkie Smith and the Colour of RugbyCreating the Hong Kong Sevens "The colonial rugby elite sat in stunned silence. He had been accused but not heard. Never before had they been required to make such an emotional and personal decision. Slowly, one by one, they raised their hands and his life was over." The Hong Kong Sevens produced a burst of brilliant rugby which brightens the world. It didn't just happen but was created through progressive inclusion. In the process Founder South African Tokkie Smith was caught up in the turbulent forefront of the game's move from white domination and into the clutches of big money. It brought him personal tragedy but gave the world Sunshine Rugby. Author John D'Eathe is a product of the golden years of amateur rugby. He has seen the game transform from elitist and non-inclusive into the brilliant, open Sunshine Rugby of today. He met Tokkie Smith in 1959 in exotic Hong Kong and joined him for a decade in the waning days of the Empire and of Colonial rugby. Discover the life of Tokkie Smith and his impact upon world rugby.Review by Martin Tiffany: "WHILE this book is essentially about Tokkie Smith and his contribution to rugby union in Asia and the world, it is about much more.It is about the fight against the elitist rugby bodies and their double standards, it is about the stranglehold of world rugby's governing body, it is about Hong Kong in the colonial era, and above all it is about the birth of one of the biggest and most exciting events on the international rugby calendar - the Hong Kong Sevens.The author John D'Eathe met Cape Town-born Tokkie in 1959 in Hong Kong and through rugby formed a lifelong friendship. One of the main reasons the author wrote this book was to shine a light on someone he felt was an unsung hero of today's modern game and through the book hopes to establish Tokkie Smith's rightful place in rugby history. If you are a rugby union fan this book is well worth a read.
School was out and I was on my way to San Diego for a family vacation. I was sure the learning was over and the fun was just starting. That was when I met Susie, a homeless girl who seemed to be everything that I was not. Little did I know we had so much in common. Susie taught me about life, love, and how to think for myself. Most of all, she taught me that sometimes, you have to get in trouble to really live.
In late August 2014, the gaming industry became embroiled in one of the most heated and divisive controversies of the early 21st century. What began as a debate over the ethics and responsibilities of video games journalists, quickly turned into a battle over cultural identity and values. So what exactly happened during GamerGate and what can we learn from it? That's what this book sets out to explore. Not as a partisan diatribe, but as a case study in conversation and as a learning experience. If we are going to overcome the unique cultural challenges facing us today, then we must learn from our past.

This book, first published in 2000, explores the relationship between experiences of selfhood and patterns of social life. It does so through an encounter with young people who confront urgent social and cultural transformations, whose experience of selfhood is unclear, often shaped by social forces that while powerful, appear difficult, if not impossible to name. These young people live in a world where institutions are weakening and identities fragmenting, where socialisation into roles is being replaced by imperatives of communication and self-esteem. Their world is shaped by different forms of freedom, but also by different forms of social polarisation and conflict. More than other social groups, young people confront the imperative of locating a sense of self and subjectivity, and this book is an account of this struggle in a context of profound social and cultural change.
