The primary focus of this paper is the impact of key South African leaders on the successful developments and subsequent rollbacks of South Africa's nuclear weapons capability. It highlights the key milestones in the development of South Africa's nuclear weapon capability. It also relates how different groups within South Africa (scientists, politicians, military and technocrats) interacted to successfully produce South Africa's nuclear deterrent. It emphasizes the pivotal influence of the senior political leadership to pursue nuclear rollback given the disadvantages of its nuclear means to achieve vital national interests. The conclusions drawn from flu's effort are the South African nuclear program was an extreme response to its own identity Crisis. Nuclear weapons became a means to achieving a long term end of a closer affiliation with the West. A South Africa yearning to be identified as a Western nation and receive guarantees of its security rationalized the need for a nuclear deterrent. The deterrent was intended to draw in Western support to counter a feared total onslaught by Communist forces in the region. Two decades later, that same South Africa relinquished its nuclear deterrent and reformed its domestic policies to secure improved economic and political integration with the West.

One of the largest and fastest-growing cities in the South, Charlotte, North Carolina, came of age in the New South decades of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, transforming itself from a rural courthouse village to the trading and financial hub of America's premier textile manufacturing region. In this book, Thomas Hanchett traces the city's spatial evolution over the course of a century, exploring the interplay of national trends and local forces that shaped Charlotte, and, by extension, other New South urban centers. Hanchett argues that racial and economic segregation are not age-old givens, but products of a decades-long process. Well after the Civil War, Charlotte's whites and blacks, workers and business owners, all lived intermingled in a "salt-and-pepper" pattern. The rise of large manufacturing enterprises in the 1880s and 1890s brought social and political upheaval, however, and the city began to sort out into a "checkerboard" of distinct neighborhoods segregated by both race and class. When urban renewal and other federal funds became available in the mid- twentieth century, local leaders used the money to complete the sorting out process, creating a "sector" pattern in which wealthy whites increasingly lived on one side of town and blacks on the other.

“The Best Way Out” recounts a stirring tale of the misfortunes and triumphs of a young English/Argentine sailor from Devon in his quest to sail around Cape Horn. William is born of English Argentine parentage which generates an affection for his mother’s homeland. At an early age William Spyre is inculcated with maritime traditions and desire by his father who served in the Royal Navy. Although he becomes a modest barrister, Joseph Spyre’s unbounded affection and respect for the sea never dims as he passes along this love to his son William. After learning to sail competitively in Plymouth Bay, William turns to offshore racing and defies the odds as he survives the ‘79 Fastnet Race debacle. Tales of South America and Cape Horn grain racers told by Joseph imbue a burning desire in William to ‘Round the Horn’. His wealthy mentor gifts William a stout sloop for the journey and after a year of preparation William heads south in late Fall 1981 in the first leg of his adventure. Upon arriving in Buenos Aires to refit and visit relatives, unbeknownst to William, he has appeared on the cusp of the Falklands invasion. He is promptly arrested by the Argentine Junta as an English spy. Unable to break William or vanquish him, his sadistic Argentine Navy tormentor forces him into the Argentine Army for the invasion of the Falkland Islands. Alone and now the pariah of his platoon, because he’s English, William fears for his life at the hands of the Argentine Marines. He is spared and protected by his platoon Lieutenant, because there is a need for him; he’s their interpreter. After surviving the invasion and occupation of Stanley, William is transferred to Goose Green just prior to the British counter invasion. During a vicious fire fight in the dead of the southern winter, toward the end of May 1982 William find that he’s on the losing end, but he is rescued by a British Soldier in a bizarre coincidence of luck. After the “Arggies” capitulate, William’s British identity cannot be established, so he is returned to Argentina as a POW. He and his wounded buddy make their way back to Buenos Aires on the famous Ruta 3 , bumming rides with good Samaritan, long haul truckdrivers. He reunites with his extended family in Buenos Aires, but is placed under surveillance by Astes. William’s PTSD and now paranoia about Astes alerts him to trouble, so with the aid of his ever-resourceful cousin Rafael, he quickly refits his boat and sails again for Cape Horn. Due to the poor preparation of his hasty departure, he is subsequently wrecked on the coast of Patagonia, rescued by the Argentine/Welch, and is nursed back to health. He has a torrid, illicit love affair with his Welsh host’s daughter, forcing the couple to flee for their lives across Patagonia. In their flight they are relentlessly pursued by William’s Argentine nemesis, Lt Cmdr. Alfredo Astes. William continues to pose a major threat to Astes’ tenuous hold on power. William and his love, Angharad take refuge in Santiago, Chile, where Astes hatches an unsuccessful plot to kill William. This failed attempt unseats Astes from power, but he remains a threat. Angharad encourages to complete his Cape Horn quest, so he takes a tenuous step, travels to Ushuaia, hires a veteran skipper and boat and finally conquers the Horn in winter. The trip out to and around the Horn in winter is a thrilling adventure in and of itself. After sailing past Cape Horn, instead of being jubilant at attaining his goal, William becomes introspective and finally realizes that his attaining his goal has come at the expense of others. He sees that the journey itself is what mattered which was enabled by the love, respect and sacrifice of his closest friends and family. William finally realizes that it is they who are important, not attaining a seemingly impossible goal. He learns this lesson a little late in life, but better learned than never understood. One would think that the story ends here, but no, there’s one last, dangerous problem that must be dealt with - Lt Cmdr. Alfredo Astes. Back in Ushuaia after the Horn, William inadvertently encounters his antagonist Astes and a confrontation ensues, but you must read the book to find out what happens. - Who will prevail and how? The incredible natural beauty and majesty of Chile and Argentina set the backdrop and inspiration for this account of intrigue, betrayal, passion and the ultimate triumph of the human spirit.

Visibility matters to activists-to their social and political relevance, their credibility, their influence. But invisibility matters, too, in times of political hostility or internal crisis. Out in Africa is the first to present an intimate look at how Namibian and South African lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) organizations have cultivated visibility and invisibility as strategies over time. As such, it reveals the complexities of the LGBT movements in both countries as these organizations make use of Western terminology and notions of identity to gain funding ev.

Globalization And Popular Music In South Korea written by Michael Fuhr and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2015-06-12 with Music categories.
This book offers an in-depth study of the globalization of contemporary South Korean idol pop music, or K-Pop, visiting K-Pop and its multiple intersections with political, economic, and cultural formations and transformations. It provides detailed insights into the transformative process in and around the field of Korean pop music since the 1990s, which paved the way for the recent international rise of K-Pop and the Korean Wave. Fuhr examines the conditions and effects of transnational flows, asymmetrical power relations, and the role of the imaginary "other" in K-Pop production and consumption, relating them to the specific aesthetic dimensions and material conditions of K-Pop stars, songs, and videos. Further, the book reveals how K-Pop is deployed for strategies of national identity construction in connection with Korean cultural politics, with transnational music production circuits, and with the transnational mobility of immigrant pop idols. The volume argues that K-Pop is a highly productive cultural arena in which South Korea’s globalizing and nationalizing forces and imaginations coincide, intermingle, and counteract with each other and in which the tension between both of these poles is played out musically, visually, and discursively. This book examines a vibrant example of contemporary popular music from the non-Anglophone world and provides deeper insight into the structure of popular music and the dynamics of cultural globalization through a combined set of ethnographic, musicological, and cultural analysis. Widening the regional scope of Western-dominated popular music studies and enhancing new areas of ethnomusicology, anthropology, and cultural studies, this book will also be of interest to those studying East Asian popular culture, music globalization, and popular music.
