Subtitle: The History of Women's Resistance to Pass Laws in South Africa Author: Julia C. Wells  Publisher: Wits University Press () ISBN-10: ISBN-13:  Condition: Very Good. Some wear to cover edges. Binding: Softcover Pages: 184 Dimensions: 22.5 x 15 x 1.2 cm +++ by Julia C. Wells +++ Social historians have paid little attention to the struggle of black women against the pass laws, yet, as was the case with other oppressive measures, the protest made by black woman was startlingly forceful and energetic. Jubilant, defiant dancing, hand-clapping and chanting exploded and the women attracted massive popular support. Julia Wells's account is vivid, colourful and moving, and is punctuated with descriptions of local personalities and events. This book will interest all those concerned with woman's issues and social history in South Africa.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers.

Two sisters grow together and apart into their emerging selves. Frankie pulses with curiosity and risk; Kate is watchful, all eyes and ears. Immersed in the heat and colours of Hong Kong in the s, theirs is a world of fishermen and insurgents, temple gods and ghosts, of blinding light and dark, dark waters. As Frankie's behaviour becomes more and more outrageous, in her defiant attempt to win her parents' attention, Kate retreats into a quiet desperation, unable to act to save the one soul for whom she would sacrifice everything - Frankie.     soft cover, book in good condition.

"  " Review from Goodreads ";      Three miles beneath the Atlantic a feared Nazi warship stands proudly defiant.... Here, from the man who brought the world the Titanic, is the unforgettable story of Hitler's most famous battleship -- how she sailed, was sunk under fire, and then thrillingly rediscovered nearly fifty years later. In words and pictures, Robert Ballard gives a gripping account of his exploration of the wreck of the Bismarck and sheds new light on many of the questions that surround the sinking -- or was it scuttling? -- of this mighty war machine.   Inside are over 400 illustrations, two full-page fold-outs, full-color maps, charts and diagrams.  

Although this is a history book, it is also extremely topical: the story of America and Britain coming together as increasingly close partners in the face of a global threat of war. But this is not 2003 and Iraq, but 1940 and the start of World War II. And, in an inversion of 2003, this is the story of the USA coming to the aid of Britain. Norman Moss's book is about the 19 weeks of World War II between May and September 1940 - a whirlwind of events that saw the swift fall of France followed by the evacuation of Dunkirk, air raids over London and the Battle of Britain, with Britain's entire safety and independence threatened as never before in modern times. Though the USA did not formally enter the war until after Pearl Harbor in 1941, as Moss shows, it was these crucial 19 weeks that swung the US from a position of defiant isolationism to a position of committed support for Britain's cause against Nazi Germany, and ultimately forged America's long-term interventionist role in the world. "19 Weeks" tells the story from both sides of the Atlantic, and from the point of view of both the policymakers and the ordinary citizenry. It follows closely the developing relationship between Roosevelt and Churchill, Roosevelt's battle for the hearts and minds of his countrymen, and the far-reaching consequences for Britain's future role in the world, the seeds of which were irrevocably sewn during this brief, crucial epoch.Ex-library; with stamps and stickers otherwise good
