In Working South, renowned watercolorist Mary Whyte captures in exquisite detail the essence of vanishing blue-collar professions from across ten states in the American South with sensitivity and reverence for her subjects. From the textile mill worker and tobacco farmer to the sponge diver and elevator operator, Whyte has sought out some of the last remnants of rural and industrial workforces declining or altogether lost through changes in our economy, environment, technology, and fashion. She shows us a shoeshine man, a hat maker, an oysterman, a shrimper, a ferryman, a funeral band, and others to document that these workers existed and in a bygone era were once ubiquitous across the region. "When a person works with little audience and few accolades, a truer portrait of character is revealed," explains Whyte in her introduction. As a genre painter with skills and intuition honed through years of practice and toil, she shares much in common with the dedication and character of her subjects. Her vibrant paintings are populated by men and women, young and old, black and white to document the range Southerners whose everyday labors go unheralded while keeping the South in business. By rendering these workers amid scenes of their rough-hewn lives, Whyte shares stories of the grace, strength, and dignity exemplified in these images of fading southern ways of life and livelihood. Working South includes a foreword by Martha Severens, curator of the Greenville County Museum of Art in Greenville, South Carolina.

Relegato fino poco tempo fa a un ambito sperimentale, il lavoro da remoto ha avuto un’improvvisa e massiccia diffusione a seguito della pandemia per contrastare l’aumento dei contagi da Covid-19 e permettere il proseguimento dell’attività economica. L’impatto della diffusione dello smart working sul mercato del lavoro, seppur con caratteristiche del tutto emergenziali, è stato dirompente e ha consentito modalità di svolgimento della prestazione lavorativa un tempo inimmaginabili. Per la prima volta la rottura dell’unità di spazio, tempo e azione apre prospettive nuove: il lavoro può essere svolto anche lontano dalla sede del datore di lavoro. È qui che si innesta il fenomeno del South working come prospettiva dalla quale valutare le implicazioni di quello che è probabilmente l’effetto più importante e duraturo della pandemia dal punto di vista socio-spaziale: la diffusione del lavoro a distanza. Per decenni sempre più giovani sono emigrati dalle aree marginalizzate, dal Sud e dalle aree interne, in cerca di opportunità di studio o di lavoro nei grandi centri urbani del Centro-nord, ma oggi la componente digitale e tecnologica permette un approccio diverso al lavoro a distanza. Lavorare in maniera «agile» produce effetti positivi per tutte le parti coinvolte: aumenta la produttività di lavoratori e aziende, favorisce una più alta qualità della vita percepita e costituisce un’occasione di rilancio per i territori. I contributi di questo volume sono frutto di un’elaborazione critica iniziata durante la prima fase della pandemia e alimentata in seguito da incontri con lavoratori, istituzioni, imprese, organizzazioni pubbliche e private. Tutti questi attori hanno arricchito il dibattito allo scopo di ripensare il futuro del lavoro da remoto, mettendo al centro le persone, i territori, le aziende e ridisegnando una geografia diffusa del lavoro che sia non solo agile ma soprattutto coesa.

In 1904 William Garrott Brown traveled the American South, investigating the region’s political, economic, and social conditions. Using the pen name “Stanton,” Brown published twenty epistles in the Boston Evening Transcript detailing his observations. The South at Work is a compilation of these newspaper articles, providing a valuable snapshot of the South as it was simultaneously emerging from post–Civil War economic depression and imposing on African Americans the panoply of Jim Crow laws and customs that sought to exclude them from all but the lowest rungs of southern society. A Harvard-educated historian and journalist originally from Alabama, Brown had been commissioned by the Evening Transcript to visit a wide range of locations and to chronicle the region with a greater depth than that of typical travelers’ accounts. Some articles featured familiar topics such as a tobacco warehouse in Durham, North Carolina; a textile mill in Columbia, South Carolina; and the vast steel mills at Birmingham. However, Brown also covered atypical enterprises such as citrus farming in Florida, the King Ranch in Texas, and the New Orleans Cotton Exchange. To add perspective, he talked to businessmen and politicians, as well as everyday workers. In addition to describing the importance of diversifying the South’s agricultural economy beyond cotton, Brown addressed race relations and the role of politicians such as James K. Vardaman of Mississippi, the growth of African American communities such as Hayti in Durham, and the role universities played in changing the intellectual climate of the South. The editor, Bruce E. Baker, has written an introduction and provided thorough annotations for each of Brown’s letters. Baker demonstrates the value of the collection as it touches on racism, moderate progressivism, and accommodation with the political status quo in the South. Baker and Brown’s combined work makes The South at Work one of the most detailed and interesting portraits of the region at the beginning of the twentieth century. Publication in book form makes The South at Work conveniently available to students and scholars of modern southern and American history.

In the current model of health dispensation in South Africa there are two major paradigms, the spirit-inspired tradition of izangoma sinyanga and biomedicine. These operate at best in parallel, but more often than not are at odds with one another. This book, based on the author's personal experience as a practitioner of traditional African medicine, considers the effects of the absence of spirit in biomedicine on collaborative relationships. Given the unprecedented challenge of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the country, the author suggests that more cooperation is vital. Taking a critical look at the role of anthropology in this endeavor, she proposes the development of a "language of spirit" by means of which the spirit-inspired aetiology of izangoma sinyanga may be made comprehensible to academic scientists and applicable to medical interventions. The author discusses white izangoma in the context of current debates on healing and hybridity and insists that there exists a powerful role for izangoma in the realm of societal healing. Above all, the book constitutes a start in what the author hopes will develop into an ongoing intellectual conversation between traditional African healing, academe, and biomedicine in South Africa.

How Sanctions Work surveys theories of international sanctions and offers detailed analyses of the effect of sanctions on apartheid South Africa. Chapters by respected international experts cover cultural isolation, oil and military embargoes, trade boycotts, financial sanctions and divestment, consequences for black South Africans, and regional effects. The book shows how sanctions both directly and indirectly hurt the apartheid regime while in some cases offering succour to the anti-apartheid movement.
