Coloured’ Schools in Cape Town, South Africa
Constructing Ambiguous Identities: Negotiating Race, Respect, and Social Change in ‘Coloured’ Schools in Cape Town, South Africa Daniel Patrick Hammett Ph.D. The University of Edinburgh 2007 1 Declaration This thesis has been composed by myself from the results of my own work, except where otherwise acknowledged. It has not been submitted in any previous application for a degree. i Abstract South African social relations in the second decade of democracy remain framed by race. Spatial and social lived realities, the continued importance of belonging – to feel part of a community, mean that identifying as ‘coloured’ in South Africa continues to be contested, fluid and often ambiguous. This thesis considers the changing social location of ‘coloured’ teachers through the narratives of former and current teachers and students. Education is used as a site through which to explore the wider social impacts of social and spatial engineering during and subsequent to apartheid. Two key themes are examined in the space of education, those of racial identity and of respect. These are brought together in an interwoven narrative to consider whether or not ‘coloured’ teachers in the post-apartheid period are respected and the historical trajectories leading to the contemporary situation. Two main concerns are addressed. The first considers the question of racial identification to constructions of self-identity. Working with post-colonial theory and notions of mimicry and ambivalence, the relationship between teachers and the identifier ‘coloured’ is shown to be problematic and contested. Second, and connected to teachers’ engagement with racialised identities, is the notion of respect. As with claims to identity and racial categorisation, the concept of respect is considered as mutable and dynamic and rendered with contextually subjective meanings that are often contested and ambivalent. -
Opposition Party Mobilization in South Africa's Dominant
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Eroding Dominance from Below: Opposition Party Mobilization in South Africa’s Dominant Party System A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by Safia Abukar Farole 2019 © Copyright by Safia Abukar Farole 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Eroding Dominance from Below: Opposition Party Mobilization in South Africa’s Dominant Party System by Safia Abukar Farole Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Kathleen Bawn, Chair In countries ruled by a single party for a long period of time, how does political opposition to the ruling party grow? In this dissertation, I study the growth in support for the Democratic Alliance (DA) party, which is the largest opposition party in South Africa. South Africa is a case of democratic dominant party rule, a party system in which fair but uncompetitive elections are held. I argue that opposition party growth in dominant party systems is explained by the strategies that opposition parties adopt in local government and the factors that shape political competition in local politics. I argue that opposition parties can use time spent in local government to expand beyond their base by delivering services effectively and outperforming the ruling party. I also argue that performance in subnational political office helps opposition parties build a reputation for good governance, which is appealing to ruling party ii. supporters who are looking for an alternative. Finally, I argue that opposition parties use candidate nominations for local elections as a means to appeal to constituents that are vital to the ruling party’s coalition. -

DE MESTIZAJES, INDIGENISMOS, NEOINDIGENISMOS Y OTROS: LA TERCERA ORILLA (SOBRE LA LITERATURA ESCRITA EN CASTELLANO EN BOLIVIA) by Rosario Rodríguez Márquez Licenciatura en Literatura. Universidad Mayor de San Andrés, La Paz-Bolivia 1982 Master of Arts, University of Pittsburgh, 1992 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of PhD in Hispanic Languages and Literatures University of Pittsburgh 2008 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented By Rosario Rodríguez Márquez It was defended on Novermber, 18 and approved by John Beverley, PhD, Professor of Spanish and Latin American Literature and Cultural Studies Hermann Herlinghaus, PhD, Professor of Latin American Literature and Cultural Studies Aníbal Pérez, PhD, Associate Professor of Political Science Elizabeth Monasterios, PhD, Associate Professor of Latin American Literature and Chair of the Department ii De mestizajes, indigenismos, neoindigenismos y otros: la tercera orilla (sobre la literatura escrita en castellano en Bolivia) Rosario Rodríguez Márquez, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2008 The dissertation arises from the hypothesis that the perspective of indigenism is indispensable as a guiding thread in the reading of a variety of Bolivian literary expressions, now impacted by formulas of literature written in Spanish as well as by modern and postmodern urban culture. There are two main strands that are woven into this reading: one that works to weave in detail each of the works chosen; the other that searches to intertwine the connections that unite those different works, holding in perspective, in both strands, a place of contact between basically the two cultures: Andean indigenous and Westernized. -

Mnr. Philip Rabinowitz, of Vinnige Phil soos hy in atletiekkringe bekend is, is gisteroggend omstreeks 05:55 in die ouderdom van 104 in sy huis in Houtbaai oorlede. Na verneem word, het Rabinowitz Dinsdag ’n beroerte gehad en kon hy sedertdien nie praat nie. Sy begrafnisdiens is gistermiddag volgens die Joodse tradisie in Pinelands gehou. Die diens is deur rabbi Desmond Maizels gelei. ’n Bewoë mnr. Hannes Wahl, Rabinowitz se afrigter van die afgelope 25 jaar, het gesê hy was die vriendelikste mens wat hy ooit geken het. “Ek gaan hom baie, baie mis. Hy laat ’n groot leemte in ons lewens.” Wahl het gesê hulle sou nog vanjaar aan ’n nommer by die Olimpiese Spele in Beijing deelgeneem het. -
South Africa South Africa at a Glance: 2007-08
Country Report South Africa South Africa at a glance: 2007-08 OVERVIEW The ruling African National Congress (ANC) is expected to maintain its overwhelming hegemony during the forecast period. However, the party and its leadership will be preoccupied with maintaining party unity and an orderly process of electing a successor to Thabo Mbeki as ANC president at the party!s national congress in December 2007. Assuming a sound mix of fiscal and monetary policy combined with public-sector wage moderation, weaker administered prices and lower private-sector unit labour costs (owing to productivity gains), inflation is expected to remain within the target range of 3-6% in 2007-08. Further growth in construction and continued expansion in total domestic demand is expected to support real GDP growth of 4.5% in 2007 and 5.1% in 2008. Fairly strong global demand and high commodity prices will help to boost exports, but rising imports mean that the current account is forecast to remain in deficit, although the deficit should narrow in 2007-08. Key changes from last month Political outlook • Political prospects remain unchanged from the previous month. Economic policy outlook • The South African Reserve Bank (SARB, the central bank) raised interest rates by a further 50 basis points in December, taking the benchmark repurchase (repo) rate to 9%. The SARB based its decision mainly on the risks posed by high rates of growth in household spending and consumer credit and by the threat to inflation posed by the depreciation in the exchange rate. Although the risk from international oil prices has abated, food price inflation is rising significantly and is likely to continue to do so in the coming months. -
