As a boy growing up in 1970s Johannesburg Mark Gevisser would play 'Dispatcher', a game that involved sitting in his father's parked car (or in the study) and sending imaginary couriers on routes across the city, mapped out from Holmden's Register of Johannesburg. As the imaginary fleet made its way across the troubled city and its tightly bound geographies, so too did the young dispatcher begin to figure out his own place in the world. At the centre of Lost and Found in Johannesburg is the account of a young boy who is obsessed with maps and books, and other boys. Mark Gevisser's account of growing up as the gay son of Jewish immigrants, in a society deeply affected - on a daily basis - by apartheid and its legacy, provides a uniquely layered understanding of place and history. It explores a young man's maturation into a fully engaged and self-aware citizen, first of his city, then of his country and the world beyond. This is a story of memory, identity and an intensely personal relationship with the City of Gold. It is also the story of a violent home invasion and its aftermath, and of a man's determination to reclaim his home town.

Through a variety of case studies by global scholars from diverse academic fields, this book explores photographic-album practices of historically marginalized figures from a range of time periods, geographic locations, and socio-cultural contexts. Their albums' stories span various racial, ethnic, gender and sexual identities; nationalities; religions; and dis/abilities. The vernacular albums featured in this volume present narratives that move beyond those reflected in our existing histories. Essays examine the visual, material, and aural strategies that album-makers have used to assert control over the presentation of their histories and identities, and to direct what those narratives have to say, a point of special relevance as these albums move out of private domestic space and into public archives, institutions, and digital formats. This book does not consider photographic albums and scrapbooks as separate genres, but as a continuum of modern creative practices of photographic and mass-print collage aimed at self-expression and narrative-building that co-evolved and were readily accessible. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, history of photography, visual culture, material culture, media studies, and cultural studies.

This book is full of love – of history and family. There are 8 contributors from many cities and countries, whose stories reflect the social and political upheavals of the previous century. There are snapshot portraits painted of people going back 16 generations. The first is David Mitzkun, circa 1580 from Lithuania. The family tree was translated from Hebrew by a genealogist who created a descendants report with most of the names and dates of these 16 generations. The youngest is a toddler in the newest generation. There are photos from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries as well as historical documents. Included in the book is the story of recovery of the tree drawn by the author’s great grandfather and family members who found one and other as result. This wonderful story has been televised as well as printed as a front page article of a New Jersey newspaper in 2014.

It was supposed to be easy. They would drop down to the surface, get Bit’s niece, and return to the Lenore. What could go wrong? The answer, everything. Nothing goes smoothly for the crew of the Lenore, or at least it hadn’t since Bit joined them. Now, Jack has a crew determined to find a lost child hiding somewhere in the known galaxy. The fact the child’s location is protected by a band of violent men makes the task just that much harder.

How I Lost My Mother is a deeply felt account of the relationship between a mother and son, and an exploration of what care for the dying means in contemporary society The book is emotionally complex – funny, sad and angry – but above all, heartfelt and honest. It speaks boldly of challenges faced by all of us, challenges which are often not spoken about and hidden, but which deserve urgent attention. This is first and foremost a work of the heart, a reflection on what relationships mean and should mean. There is much in the book about relationships of care and exploitation in southern Africa, and about white Jewish identity in an African context. But despite the specific and absorbing references to places and contexts, the book offers a broader, more universal view. All parents of adult children, and all adults who have parents alive, or have lost their parents, will find much in this book to make them laugh, cry, think and feel.

At Home With Ivan Vladislavić is the first comprehensive analysis of the works of Ivan Vladislavić. Bringing a flaneur’s "internal GPS" to postcolonial Johannesburg, Vladislavić established a critical sense of home via an intimate knowledge of geography and history. This sense of belonging can have positive ecological effects as we tend to protect what we know. The flaneur’s deep word hoard also helped him to develop a minimalist style, which was not only a means of living sustainably in the city, but in its humour and close attention to detail a way to make greening the city more of a joy than a duty. In this way, Vladislavić created a culture of sustainability. Introduction and Chapter 6 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.

An aristocratic Hungarian colonel, whose family has been broken and scattered by the Holocaust and WWII, seeks to survive and reunite his family. In an adopted role as a Hassidic Jew, he recovers treasures from hidden Nazi loot and schleps money from wealthy Jews around the world to Swiss accounts. His sons survive behind the Iron Curtain and migrate to the West. One son, Robin, studies at a New York cancer institute where his and his mentor's research on a cancer vaccine becomes contentious. He moves to the South and becomes a prominent oncologist. He shows us the intrigues of basic research and of academia where jealousy and avarice can be motives. Each in their own worlds. Each fights for survival and identity.
