The new black middle class in South Africa
Killing the Goose That Lays the Golden Egg
It's a commonplace that Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke draws his policies from Milton Friedman and Anna Schwartz's A Monetary History of the United States ( MH). With that in mind, this article establishes five points. First, contrary to conventional wisdom, Friedman and Schwartz merely insinuate their claim the Fed caused the Depression in MH. Second, their criticisms of Fed policy during the Depression, which turn on its refusal to adopt…
Performing memory on television
This article examines the performance of memory within British television documentaries that explore the 1960s. Taking ‘cultural memory’ as its theoretical frame, it investigates how the meaning of the sixties is negotiated in the interplay between witness memories, voice-over commentary and archive footage. The specificities of televisual codes and conventions in animating or constraining ‘memory work’ are examined through an analysis of various…

Approaches to Goldie
Approaches by human passers-by to a Golden Retriever puppy with a human companion were tallied as the puppy aged from ten weeks to 33 weeks. Over this period, approaches were most numerous when the puppy was youngest, with females approaching more than males during the first half of sampling, but equaling male approaches during the second half. Both the number of human approaches and the proportions of males and females were independent of the se…
Power politics in the New South Africa
A consensus on South Africa's transition from apartheid is crystallising. According to it, the African National Congress (ANC) and the National Party (NP), which initially opened negotiations reluctantly and suspiciously, were subsequently transformed by the experience. They are said to have developed mutual trust, discounted questions of political power, and agreed to a constitution allowing the new democratic government — predictably headed by …
The Hand on the Tiller
Marxistscholarship on South Africa's political economy was born as a meta-theoretical critique of liberalism in the 1960s and matured into a rich tradition of its own by the 1980s. As Marxists became more focused empirically and conceptually, they presented compelling evidence for their key analytical claims and generally bettered their liberal rivals-as they saw and portrayed them-in the debate over the complicity of capitalist development in th…
Sleepless Souls
The Fearefull Estate of Francis Spira
This is the story of a story. It all began in May 1548, when an Italian Protestant named Francesco Spiera recanted. He had been denounced to the Inquisition the previous November, and, fearful that he would lose his wealth and beggar his family, he renounced Protestantism publicly both at St. Mark's in Venice and in his hometown of Citadella, near Padua. It was a painful decision. Even before his second recantation, he began to hear a voice warni…

Sleepless Souls
The siren's song
This paper does two things. First, it deals with the work of Arend Lijphart and Donald Horowitz on South African politics, and particularly the relationship of their ethnic models to the proposals Lijphart and the National Party are making for a new constitution for South Africa. The concern is less with the empirical accuracy of their research, however, than with the political logic implicit in their thinking. Thus, the paper considers how the N…

Sleepless Souls
Sleepless Souls is a social and cultural history of suicide in early modern England. Self-murder was regarded as a heinous crime in Tudor and Stuart England, and was subject to savage punishments. Those who committed suicide had their property forfeited to the crown, and their bodies were denied Christian burial and desecrated. In Georgian England suicide was in practice de-criminalized, tolerated and even sentimentalized. Michael MacDonald and T…

Madness and Healing in Nineteenth-Century America
One morning in October 1849, a former patient at the Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane returned surreptitiously to the asylum from which he had twice escaped in the previous year. Wiley Williams had been an uncooperative patient from the beginning, and although he had defeated his relatives' attempts to confine him, he had formed a settled hatred of the hospital's superintendent, Thomas Story Kirkbride. He climbed a tree near the hospital's ma…
Interest & Emotion
Henry Stubbe, Radical Protestantism, and the Early Enlightenment
Called 'the most noted person of his age' by Anthony Wood, Henry Stubbe (1632–76), classicist, polemicist, physician, philosopher and the most important critic of the early Royal Society, has never had a biography. This study seeks to fill that gap, while standing received opinion about him on its head. The older view has it that at the Restoration Stubbe renounced his radical past and became the enemy of scientific progress and a reactionary def…

Religion, Social Change, and Psychological Healing in England, 1600–1800
Robert Burton was being as trite as Polonius when he advised his readers that the general causes of melancholy ‘are either supernatural or natural’. Apart from a small and notorious band of sceptics, all of Burton’s contemporaries agreed that mental diseases might be caused by natural accidents or supernatural forces. They attributed misery and madness to a myriad of particular misfortunes and afflictions. Sudden frights and insupportable griefs …
