  • Place Naming as Black Place-making in Johannesburg’s Informal Settlements

    Open Access•Relebogile Rasodi, Suvania Naidoo et al.•ARTICLE•Urban Forum•2025

    Informal settlements in South Africa exist on the periphery of formal town planning and expose the complex navigations of place-making, agency, and survival. However, these settlements are engaged in their own practices of landscape inscription through acts of place naming and place-making as a means of reclaiming land and solidifying identities of people and places. This paper explores place naming processes within three informal settlements in …

  • Police subjectivities in South Africa

    Open Access•Josephine Cornell, N Malherbe et al.•ARTICLE•Subjectivity•2025

    Police officers in the South African Police Service (SAPS) undertake their police work within national, institutional, and personal discourses. Together, these discourses create different, often contradictory, police subjectivities. Resultantly, research on policing in South Africa is increasingly concerned with these subjectivities and the contexts in which they are constructed. However, despite this growing interest in discourse and subjectivit…

  • The association between intimate partner violence and antiretroviral therapy adherence among individuals receiving art care in Johannesburg

    Open Access•Lebogang Phiri-Sithole, Mohamed Seedat et al.•ARTICLE•South African Journal of Psychology•2025•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 36

    This study investigated the extent to which intimate partner violence (IPV) is associated with antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence among individuals receiving ART care in Johannesburg, South Africa. A two-stage purposive sampling method was used to recruit 200 men and women from two government ART sites through a cross-sectional survey. Adherence was obtained with the AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG) questionnaire, exposure to IPV with the Vi…

  • Decolonizing psychology through struggles for land

    N Malherbe, Hugo Canham et al.•ARTICLE•American Psychologist•2025

    The conception of Indigenous land as terra nullius-territory without a master-was fundamental in globalizing the colonial project. Contemporary mechanisms of coloniality are no different. All over the world, people are expelled from their lands for purposes of mineral extraction, dumping, industrial development, control over territory, and suppressing resistance. In this, the histories, knowledges, and affective relations that people have with la…

  • Understanding community violence

    Open Access•N Malherbe, Mohamed Seedat et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Community Psychology•2025•Referencias: 37

    Critical realism can unsettle a number of orthodoxies that surround the study of community violence within community psychology. This is to say, because critical realism is embraced so rarely by community psychologists, it can institute a parallax shift within the discipline, whereby we are granted alternative ways of perceiving violence within community contexts. Drawing on transdisciplinary thought, we offer in this article a retroductive frame…

  • Sports as placemaking

    Bongani Mavundla, Alex Freeman et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Community Practice•2024•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 55

    Community-engaged scholarship has largely neglected the potential of sports to construct progressive forms of community and mobilize disparate interests. In this article, we critically reflect on how sports were used for placemaking purposes in the Friendship and Hope Campaign, an annual event that is driven by residents of Thembelihle, a low-income community in South Africa. The Campaign is a participatory and community-based intervention that s…

  • Building Decolonial Peace into the Everyday

    Sarah Day, N Malherbe et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Intervention and…•2023•Citada por: 5•Referencias: 16

    Coloniality structures everyday (i.e. the familiar, dynamic experiences that constitute people's day-to-day lives). It is, however, possible to build decolonial peace into the everyday as a means of slowly eroding coloniality from within. In this article, we draw on our collaboration with a community-led gender justice collective based in Johannesburg to illustrate some of the complexities inherent to building decolonial peace into the everyday. …

  • Community participation in a low‐income neighborhood

    Open Access•Lu-Anne Swart, Lu‐Anne Swart et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Community Psychology•2023•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 52

    While community participation may serve as a vehicle to improve health and socioeconomic outcomes for residents in poor communities, little research exists on the individual factors that influence community participation, particularly in contexts where violence is exceptionally high. This study examined the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics, perceptions, and experiences of violence, neighborhood attachment, and community parti…

  • What Do Professors Do? Posthumous Letter of Love to Ma

    Open Access•Mohamed Seedat•ARTICLE•Culture Studies ↔ Critical…•2023•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 7

    Assuming an autoethnographic orientation and a shifting performative lettering style, I write posthumously to my mother in response to her question, what do professors do? The letter is a reflexive contribution to contemporary decolonial debates about unrelenting forms of colonizing knowledge, ways of overturning exclusionary credentialing systems, and liberatory modes of knowledge creation. Engaging with the epistemology of the heart, I write to…

  • Epistemicide and epistemic freedom

    N Malherbe, Shahnaaz Suffla et al.•CHAPTER•Routledge International Handbook…•2022

    Community Psychology has, in the main, contributed to different modes of epistemicide, that is, the destruction, distortion, marginalisation and silencing of other-than-Northern knowledges and ways of knowing. Increasingly, however, decolonising enactments of Community Psychology have resisted the discipline’s complicity in entrenching unequal knowledge hierarchies that depend on epistemicide. (Re)inspired by the latest iterations of the decoloni…

  • Multimodality, cultural production, and the protest event

    Open Access•Nomagugu Ngwenya, N Malherbe et al.•ARTICLE•Multimodality & Society•2022

    The high levels of protest in South Africa have produced varied academic literature on the subject. Although political and structural determinants of protest are readily acknowledged, social actors who comprise protest events are rarely centralised within scholarly inquiry. The particularities of protests are thus less considered than the structural issues underlying protests. We therefore argue that studying the multimodality of cultural product…

  • Fanon’s Decolonial Transcendence of Psychoanalysis

    N Maldonado-Torres, Mireille Fanon Mendès France et al.•ARTICLE•Studies in Gender and Sexuality•2021

    Coloniality continues to invade the psychomaterial lives of the condemned. Invoking psychoanalysis and phenomenology to engage with modern psychopathologies and race, gender, and sexuality, Fanon developed seminal ideas on social suffering in the context of colonial violence on psychic life. In reading Fanon, we discern two challenges: the decolonial transcendence of psychoanalysis as a theoretical framework, and the decolonial transcendence of p…

  • Discourses of Gender and Political Violence in South Africa

    Open Access•Josephine Cornell, N Malherbe et al.•ARTICLE•Social Politics International…•2021•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 10

    Politically violent women are regularly muted or made exceptional. Yet, underplaying women’s involvement in political violence obscures the systemic nature of such violence. We employ a discursive psychology analysis of an in-depth interview with a South African woman who has been involved in decades of political activism, and identified two discourses: Gendering Politically Violent Symbols and Enactments, where political violence was wielded as …

  • Analyzing Discursive Constructions of Community in Newspaper Articles

    Open Access•N Malherbe, Mohamed Seedat et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Community…•2021•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 33

    The manner by which power is reified through newspaper reporting can assist community psychologists in getting a handle on the complex, often contradictory, ways by which ideology and power are constituted in relation to particular communities. Accordingly, the present study draws on discursive psychology to analyse how 377 newspaper articles construct the community of Thembelihle (a low‐income community in South Africa) and how these constructio…

    Against the backdrop of the global pandemic, which has deepened existing \nglobal struggles against coloniality and racist, heteropatriarchal, and capitalist \nsocial formations, this special issue focuses on Fanon, Southern Theory, and \nPsychoanalysis: Dialogues on Race, Gender, and Sexuality.

  • Mbeki's 'I am an African' Speech

    Mohamed Seedat, Shahnaaz Suffla et al.•ARTICLE•African Studies•2021•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 32

    We offer a critical reading of Thabo Mbeki’s ‘I am an African’ speech to illustrate how he foregrounded humaning, namely ontoepistemological recovery, as a key dimension of psycho-political reconstruction. Mbeki’s speech, delivered on the occasion of the adoption of South Africa’s democratic Constitution, was inherent to the larger quest to (re)imagine South Africa and (South)Africanness and assert independent Black intellectual thought. Position…

  • Splintered politics of memory and community resistance

    Open Access•Josephine Cornell, Mohamed Seedat et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Community Psychology•2020•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 30

    Oral history presents an especially effective way of exploring the multitudinous, contradictory, and contextual meanings that are attached to the notion of community. In this study, we argue for narrative‐discourse analysis as a critical means of studying contested community memories. We rely on focus group discussions and individual interviews to explore oral histories of state‐sanctioned relocation of residents of Thembelihle, a low‐income comm…

    Open Access•Lu-Anne Swart, Sarah Day et al.•ARTICLE•South African Journal of Psychology•2020•Referencias: 26

    A national representative sample of adults is used to assess whether socioeconomic circumstances, civic engagement, and perceptions about government performance are associated with participation in (non)violent protests. Blacks and those who report high levels of poverty and civic engagement are likely to participate in non-violent protests. Individuals who have not completed schooling, are members of an organisation, view government as highly co…

  • Community asset mapping as an action research strategy for developing an interpersonal violence prevention programme in South Africa

    Open Access•Naiema Taliep, Sandy Lazaru et al.•ARTICLE•Action Research•2020•Citada por: 4•Referencias: 1

    The aim of this article was to report and critically reflect on community asset mapping processes used to develop a contextually valid interpersonal violence prevention programme in South Africa to promote positive forms of masculinity, safety and peace. This study was informed by a critical public health framework, and was guided by the values and principles of community-based participatory action research. The research and action methods used i…

  • Reflecting critically on the researcher-participant encounter in focus groups

    Josephine Cornell, N Malherbe et al.•ARTICLE•Qualitative Research in Psychology•2019•Referencias: 16

    South Africa has a considerable history of public protest from which a contemporary “culture of protest” has emerged. Despite the wide-ranging body of research on protest in South Africa, few studies have considered critically the discursive space in which researchers and participants are embedded. In this article, we use discursive psychology to examine reflexively how South African protesters discursively contest, (re)produce, and negotiate Sou…

  • A multimodal reading of public protests

    Open Access•Sarah Day, Mohamed Seedat et al.•ARTICLE•Environment and Planning C…•2018•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 13

    Public protests in (un)democratic polities, reflective of discursive articulations of resistance and material expressions of struggle, seek to disrupt prevailing unjust societal, political and cultural practices. The insurrectionist purposes of protests are often in contravention of public order regimens, which seek to regulate enactments of public protests, minimise the disruptions inherent to protests and legitimise those defined as non-violent…

  • A Characterisation of South African Psychology (1948–1988)

    Open Access•Mohamed Seedat•ARTICLE•South African Journal of Psychology•1998•Citada por: 20•Referencias: 25

    The deliberate and sometimes unwitting complicity of psychology with apartheid social formations has received limited attention in the psycho-historical literature. This paper, in an attempt to break the silence, offers a descriptive characterisation of South African psychology. Details obtained from a content analysis of seven journals show South African psychology, between 1948–1988, to be characterised by five features. Firstly, white males af…

  • Community psychology in South Africa

    Open Access•Mohamed Seedat, Sandy Lazaru et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Community Psychology•2011•Citada por: 17•Referencias: 25

    This article represents a South African contribution to the growing international body of knowledge on histories of community psychology. We trace the early antecedents of social‐community psychology interventions and describe the social forces and academic influences that provided the impetus for the emergence and development of community psychology in South Africa. We then draw on various sources, including undocumented small histories of organ…

  • The Quest for Liberatory Psychology

    Open Access•Mohamed Seedat•ARTICLE•South African Journal of Psychology•1997•Citada por: 16•Referencias: 28

    Despite scepticism about the viability, scope and nature of liberatory psychology, a nuanced study of anti-apartheid and international progressive scholarship within psychology reveals otherwise. Accordingly, in this paper I seek to describe the distinctive processes, phases and epistemological challenges integral to the quest for a liberatory psychology. Specific attention is also accorded to a liberatory agenda which may be distilled from the p…

  • Discerning Community Resilience in Disadvantaged Communities in the Context of Violence and Injury Prevention

    Open Access•Rashid Ahmed, Mohamed Seedat et al.•ARTICLE•South African Journal of Psychology•2004•Citada por: 13•Referencias: 25

    The study of community resilience is a relatively under-explored area. Accordingly, in an attempt to further our understanding of community resilience, we present a study focused on the development of a questionnaire to assess and delineate the nature of community resilience across three low socio-economic neighbourhoods in the Western Cape. The study embraced a participatory framework that incorporated several phases. Data indicated significant …

  • Community psychology and its (dis)contents, archival legacies and decolonisation

    Open Access•Mohamed Seedat, Shahnaaz Suffla•ARTICLE•South African Journal of Psychology•2017•Citada por: 12•Referencias: 25

    This article serves as the introduction to the Special Issue on Liberatory and Critical Voices in Decolonising Community Psychologies. The Special Issue was inspired by the Sixth International Conference on Community Psychology, held in South Africa in May 2016, and resonates with the call for the conscious decolonisation of knowledge creation. We argue that the decolonial turn in psychology has re-centred critical projects within the discipline,…

  • Reflexivity as Enactment of Critical Community Psychologies

    Open Access•Shahnaaz Suffla, Mohamed Seedat et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Community Psychology•2015•Citada por: 10•Referencias: 25

    The performance of critical community psychologies is always contextual, intersubjective, embodied, and politicized in nature. In this article, we draw from the epistemological standpoint that researcher and participant subjectivities are fully implicated in the (co)‐construction of knowledge and should therefore be documented and made retrievable. Through the lens of reflexivity, and drawing from an African‐centered Photovoice project on youth r…

    Drawing on a content analysis of selected articles from the South African Journal of Psychology (SAJP) and Psychology in Society (PINS), the authors reflect on the extent to which South African community psychology's early vision resonates in publications in post-1994 South African psychology. Concerned about the Euro-American, patriarchal, classist, and individualised orientation in clinical, counselling, and social psychology, community psychol…

    This article represents a modest attempt at encouraging mental health systems research with particular reference to South Africa. Despite the repeated calls for the logical inclusion of psychological services into Primary Health Care (PHC) in low to middle-income countries, such services remain absent or at best peripheral. A review of the literature, data analysis, and associated arguments, in this article, are therefore based on the view that h…

    Psychology functions within the context of South Africa's ruling ideology, resistance discourse and national health care philosophy.

    In intervening in social challenges impacting local communities, Western forms of dispute/conflict resolution have been critiqued for imparting norms, values and practices that marginalise worldviews of indigenous people. From a decolonizing stance, indigenous scholars have emphasised the need for recovery of ‘lost’ values, beliefs and practices to advance indigenous knowledge. We highlight some of the conceptual challenges associated with applyi…

    In a house-to-house study of 994 urban Zulus the prevalence of hypertension according to WHO criteria was 25% (23% men, 27% women). In a rural Zulu study of 987 the prevalence age corrected to the urban distribution was 9.4% (8.7% men, 10% women). Thus there was a pronounced difference between the prevalence of hypertension in the urban and rural Zulu (p less than 0.0005).

    Open Access•Rashid Ahmed, Mohamed Seedat et al.•ARTICLE•South African Journal of Psychology•2004•Citada por: 13•Referencias: 25

    The study of community resilience is a relatively under-explored area. Accordingly, in an attempt to further our understanding of community resilience, we present a study focused on the development of a questionnaire to assess and delineate the nature of community resilience across three low socio-economic neighbourhoods in the Western Cape. The study embraced a participatory framework that incorporated several phases. Data indicated significant …

  • A City-Level Study of Aggressive Road Behaviours

    Open Access•Anesh Sukhai, Mohamed Seedat et al.•ARTICLE•South African Journal of Psychology•2005•Referencias: 30

    Road rage and aggressive driving behaviours are reported to be huge public problems. There is a paucity of scientific South African data on driver aggression. Accordingly, a cross-sectional descriptive study was undertaken to determine the nature, extent and profile of aggressive and other hazardous road behaviours. The different categories of aggressive road behaviours were located on a continuum comprising four levels. Together with other hazar…

  • Still Photography Provides Data for Community-Based Initiatives

    Mohamed Seedat, Loni Baadjies et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Psychology in Africa•2006

    We use community psychology's accent on methodological pluralism and giving voice to the marginalised as a platform to critically examine the utility and outcome of photography as a data collection and community engagement method. Accordingly we focus on two community projects that used still photographs to identify environmental and household childhood injury risks respectively. The first project involved the visual documentation, examination an…

  • Wahiduddin Khan and Peace in Contemporary Islamic Thought

    Open Access•Mohamed Seedat•ARTICLE•South African Journal of Psychology•2006•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 19

    Despite a resurgence of the view that the religious sciences and Islam are antithetical to the secular sciences and to secularised thought respectively, a reading of contemporary Islamic literature on peace and war reveals a great deal of resonance with peace psychology. As in peace psychology, much of Islamic thought is concerned with the theory and praxis of peacemaking and peacebuilding, and with the prevention of collective and structural vio…

  • Headlines and Discourses in Newspaper Reports on Traffic Accidents

    Open Access•Victoria MacRitchie, Mohamed Seedat•ARTICLE•South African Journal of Psychology•2008•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 13

    Building on the existing social and health sciences knowledge base, we explore the ways in which traffic accidents on South African roads are constructed by the media and how these constructions are related to the media's role in supporting hegemonic interests, producing public consensus and promoting public agency. Discourse analysis was used to analyse 52 South African newspaper articles that reported on traffic accidents during the Easter week…

    This article focuses on community counselling, specifically in African contexts. A community psychology approach is used as a framework for this discussion.

  • Peace, Its Indices and Implications for Swaraj

    Open Access•Shahnaaz Suffla, Mohamed Seedat et al.•ARTICLE•Social Change•2010•Referencias: 16

    The issue of peace and its drivers is central to erudition on Hind Swaraj and associated texts dealing with liberty, self-rule, world order and social integrity. In this article, we therefore aim to describe a specific articulation of peace, embedded in peace psychology and the Global Peace Index (GPI), which was first initiated in 2007 and subsequently revised in 2008 and 2009. The GPI, which places countries according to their levels of peacefu…

  • Why the Wretched Kill in Democratic South Africa

    Open Access•Mohamed Seedat, Umesh Baw et al.•ARTICLE•Social Change•2010•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 9

    In South Africa in May 2008 violence targeting foreign nationals resulted in 69 deaths, thousand of displaced people and untold psychosocial trauma. The xenophobic violence has been attributed to a range of factors including criminality, a third force, right-wing elements, persistent culture of violence, globalization and the post-apartheid state’s failure to fulfil social justice needs of the majority of South Africans. Most eminent among these …

  • A Critical Review of Instruments Assessing Characteristics of Community

    Open Access•Kramer, Sherianne Kramer et al.•ARTICLE•South African Journal of Psychology•2011

    Community development is critical in South African and other low- to middle-income contexts characterised by unemployment, violence, poverty and poor infrastructure. The current asset-based trend in community research emphasises constructive community development and change through the mobilisation of existing and unrecognised community resources and skills. Following this trend we critically examine the conceptual soundness and logic of asset-ba…

  • Discursive Constructions of the Israel-Hezbollah War

    Open Access•Ursula Lau, Mohamed Seedat et al.•ARTICLE•American Journal of Islamic…•2011•Referencias: 11

    The media play a contributing influence in exacerbating hostilities between war protagonists. Through particular representations, specific groups are either hailed or vilified; thereby resulting in a “spill-over effect” of negative stereotyping, prejudice, and hostilities among people beyond the physically-designated zones of conflict. The 2006 Israeli-Hezbollah War, fueled by Israel’s history of military aggression in the region and ignited by H…
