The Expansion of African Private Land Ownership in Isidenge, Stutterheim, Eastern Cape 1994–2024
Critical Engagement with Public Sociology
The idea of public sociology, as introduced by Michael Burawoy, was inspired by the sociological practice in South Africa known as ‘critical engagement’. This volume explores the evolution of critical engagement before and after Burawoy’s visit to South Africa in the 1990s and offers a Southern critique of his model of public sociology. Involving four generations of researchers from the Global South, the authors provide a multifaceted exploration…
Critical Engagement with Public Sociology
The idea of public sociology in its global form was inspired by sociological practice in South Africa, conceptualized as ‘critical engagement’, when the US sociologist Michael Burawoy visited the country in the 1990s.

Competing versions of custom and contrasting group identities dominate these struggles. Since rights to communal property are secured through group membership and defined through custo…
Mining and ‘community’ struggles on the platinum belt
Claims from below
Drawing on a detailed study of three village-level disputes in the Bakgatla-ba-Kgafela traditional authority area, this article explores how intensifying land struggles on the platinum belt around Rustenburg are being mediated through conflicts over group boundaries and identities, and how this in turn is articulating a potentially new yet contradictory rural class politics. In a context where chiefly authorities are themselves becoming major sha…
Democracy, development and chieftaincy along South Africa's ‘Platinum Highway’
South Africa's ‘Platinum Highway’ (Generally referred to as ‘the platinum belt’.) – ‘a 150 km continuation of platinum group metals (PGM)-bearing reefs’ [Havenstein, R. (2004). “The Platinum Highway – Where Does It Lead?” Accessed May 10, 2011. http://web.up.ac.za/sitefiles/file/EBIT-Innovate/The_Platinum_Highway-where_does_it.pdf, 1] – has ushered in a new era of considerable accumulation of mineral revenues by a few traditional authorities on w…
