Excerpt from Austral Africa; Losing It or Ruling It, Vol. 1: Being Incidents and Experiences in Bechuanaland, Cape Colony, and England African natives are not dying out, but increasing and im proving, some tribes Slowly, others more rapidly, after contact with Christianity and with civilisation. The African hut in the Exhibition pointed to habits, but not to a people, slowly passing away. The native labourer washing diamonds pointed to the actual work Of the black man at present, as supplying the unskilled labour of South Africa, where it is abundant and cheap. Then the artisan work already men tioned pointed to the future, establishing beyond doubt the capacity of the race, and giving good ground for hoping that there is a useful future before them. It seems to me that statesmen, philanthropists, and politicians of all shades Should consider well the lesson of the South African court in the Colonial Exhibition, which epitomised the much misunderstood South African problem.

"Defining their enterprise as more in the direction of poetics than of prosaics, the Comaroffs free themselves to analyze a vivid series of images and events as objects of analysis. These they mine for clues to the 19th-century contents of the British imagination and of Tswana minds. They are themselves imagining the imagination of others, and they do the job with characteristic aplomb....The first volume creates an appetite for the second."—Sally Falk Moore, American Anthropologist
The classic reference work that provides annually updated information on the countries of the world.
As nation-states in the Northern Hemisphere experience economic crisis, political corruption and racial tension, it seems as though they might be 'evolving' into the kind of societies normally associated with the 'Global South'. Anthropologists Jean and John Comaroff draw on their long experience of living in Africa to address a range of familiar themes - democracy, national borders, labour and capital and multiculturalism. They consider how we might understand these issues by using theory developed in the Global South. Challenging our ideas about 'developed' and 'developing' nations, Theory from the South provides new insights into key problems of our time.
