  • Emigration from England to South Africa
    Chapter 11: Emigration from England to South Africa When we landed at Harwich this time there was no trouble with Customs. Out of the dock area our first need was to fill up with petrol and when we did so Nigel was very intrigued and said to me quietly so as not to hurt anyone’s feelings ‘Daddy, They all speak English here!’ Of course, as they were often during the day in Utrecht in the care of a Dutch nanny (after her marriage, Kitty had been replaced by ‘Babs’), they heard a lot of Dutch spoken and understood quite a bit. When Babs took them to the Wilhelminapark (where it was forbidden to walk on the grass!), she would take them to see the ducks and they knew them as ‘eendtjes’ and a passing horse would be referred to as ‘een paard’. Only two days after we returned to England Stuart was being a little fractious when being taken for a walk in his push-chair, or stroller as it seems to be now called, and we attempted to distract his attention from whatever was worrying him by pointing out a passing horse and cart by saying ‘Kijk, Stuart, een paard!’ he replied crossly ‘It isn’t a paard, it’s a horse!’ Life in England was obviously not going to easy because we did not have a home, we only had the car for a few days until I would have to hand it over to Dr Johnson, my replacement for the job in Holland, and all I had to build a practice around was my appointment at the Middlesex which thanks to the introduction of the National Health Service was paid now, but not enough to keep a wife and family of three children.

Prior to World War 2, there were no recognised nor registered plastic surgeons in South Africa. Jack Penn, a graduate of the University of Witwatersrand Medical School in 1931, trained as a general surgeon in Great Britain. He also spent time in the United States, where he was exposed to some of the American pioneers of Plastic Surgery. He returned to South Africa in 1937 to practice as a surgeon in Johannesburg and he joined the South African Medical Corps with an expressed interest in Plastic Surgery. When the second World War broke out, he was sent back to England and he spent most of 1940 learning plastic surgical techniques from the four British masters at the time – Harold Gillies, Archibald Mc Indoe, Pomfret Kilner and Rainsford Mowlem. On his return to South Africa, with the assistance of the Oppenheimer family in Johannesburg, he established the Brenthurst Military Hospital for Plastic Surgery in their home.

Puar and approved by ___________________________ ___________________________ ___________________________ ___________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May, 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Bodies of Value: Transnational Discourses and Practices of Plastic Surgery by ANDREW HOMER SPONAUGLE MAZZASCHI Dissertation Director: Jasbir K. Puar Proceeding through case studies of actors involved in transnational instantiations of plastic surgery practice or discourse, this dissertation demonstrates that a transnational lens illuminates new dimensions of plastic surgery’s history and its contemporary manifestations. Examining plastic surgeons’ development efforts after WWII, the transnational charity Operation Smile, and cosmetic surgery tourism to Johannesburg, South Africa, the dissertation examine how surgeons’ and patients’ involvement in transnational work affects their understandings race, gender, and health. I argue that, in all three cases, the demarcation between reconstructive and cosmetic surgery is racialized: On the one hand, cosmetic patients understood as paradigmatically white and from the “developed world,” enacting forms of self-investment through medical markets. On the other hand, recipients of reconstructive surgery, associated with particular geographical areas and racialized as nonwhite, are understood as objects of external investment. I show that the concept of race operative in transnational surgical contexts is not, first and foremost, an anatomical one; rather surgeons produce a nonbiological but ii still embodied conception of race that is linked to cultural and economic difference.

(See foreword & Palestine Post article page 23) • Boris Senior in a Spitfire constructed from bits and pieces. • A group of Machalniks, in the Tank Corps. • A column of the 9th Palmach, Commando Battalion.

The book reveals details never previously documented and provides a valuable new perspective on Israel’s birth and struggle for survival. It includes eye witness reports by active participants in the events. While written mainly through South African eyes, the book also contains gripping anecdotes about volunteers from the USA, Britain and other countries. It throws new light on important events and personalities of the time. In his engaging eloquent style, Henry Katzew takes the reader on a fascinating expedition through recent historical events including: • Adventures of 8 young South Africans in their ill-fated attempt to bypass British restrictions on immigration to Palestine, by travelling overland from Pretoria.

SOUTH AFRICA AND ISRAEL - DIFFERENT COUNTRIES WITH COMMON PROBLEMS, by Professor Ernst Bergmann, Israel. The Algerian Foreign Minister, Mr. Abdu Aziz of Algeria has recently made a statement.in which he mentioned South Africa and Israel together as "Africa's irreconcilable and imperialistic enemies". I do not think we have to be very upset by the implications of this statement, coming as it does from Algeria, but we might ask ourselves whether there is any point at all in the comparison between these two countries which are so obviously different in two respects - South Africa is large, Israel is small: South Africa is rich and Israel is a very poor country. I do not intend to speak of the purely political aspects of this comparison, firstly because 1 . am not an expert in politics and, secondly, I have been in South Africa too short a time to be able to judge the political situation properly.

  • Medical Practice and International Networks Albert Schweitzer's Hospital in Lambarene, 1913-1965
    Medical practice and international networks Albert Schweitzer's Hospital in Lambarene, 1913-1965 A research project submitted to the Swiss National Science Foundation 1. Summary of the research plan This project aims at a first thorough historical study of Albert Schweitzer's hospital in Lambarene in the period of its founder's reign (1913-1965). Based on an exceptionally rich and varied corpus of hitherto unconsidered archival material including thousands of patient records, a huge international correspondence, numerous notebooks and a large collection of photographs, it intends to describe the central characteristics of the hospital on both levels of daily practice and international networks and thus to locate it in the realm of Christian missionary, colonial, and humanitarian endeavours. The project consists of two parts, one of which is devoted to medical practice. It will use a praxeological approach and thus pay particular attention to the plurality of options, the openness of situations, reciprocity and interaction. Besides the general description of daily procedures and measures, details of lodgings, physical examination, diagnosis and treatment it will ask for the consistency of these practices, the alleged stagnation of medical and hygienic standards and the importance of various categories such as religion and authority. As a result, it will reconstruct hospital culture and thus present a kind of historical, diachronic counterpart to hospital ethnographies written by anthropologists. The second part examines the international network in so far as it helps us to arrive at a comprehensive understanding of the personal, institutional and ideological background and the manner of operation of the hospital. In this respect, it will look at Schweitzer's promotional strategy and pay particular attention to the narrative structure of textual and visual communication.
