Co-developing best bets for participatory disaster risk management in a postcolonial harmscape
The conditions that characterize marginal and informal settlements in the Global South make the environmental hazards resulting from the current Climate Crisis more dangerous, giving rise to multifaceted risks that can be characterized as Anthropocene harmscapes. As such settlements are home to a large and growing population, this is an increasingly widespread problem that, if not addressed, could result in deaths, unrest and increasing numbers o…
Place-pedagogies of water stress
This article explores the pedagogical affect of water in a place of water stress and illustrates its entanglement with dynamics of power and control. The current climate crisis is rendering already drought-prone regions ever drier, and it is often the already socially and economically disadvantaged who experience the most immediate impacts. In this article, we describe the experiences of residents in one township in South Africa’s Cape Flats to e…
Understanding resilience capitals, agency and habitus in household experiences of water scarcity, floods and fire in marginalized settlements in the Cape Flats, South Africa
A significant percentage of the urban population in most low- and middle-income countries live in informal settlements. Due to poor quality housing, dense settlement patterns and lack of risk reducing infrastructure, informal settlements are least prepared and at higher risk for climate change issues. Marginalized communities in settlements in the Cape Flats region of South Africa face a range of environmental hazards and risks including recurren…
Living the life of floods: Place-based learning in an Anthropocene harmscape
This article explores how place-based learning and the development of landscape literacies unfold in a place suffused with a complex set of risks resulting from inter-operating and intersecting sociohistorical, political and environmental factors. By analysing assemblages of images and accompanying texts produced through a photovoice process undertaken by co-researchers in an informal settlement in South Africa’s Cape Flats, we show that resident…
Policing and Boundaries in a Violent Society: A South African Case Study
This book explores how social and territorial boundaries have influenced the approaches and practices of the South Africa Police Service (SAPS). By means of a historical analysis of South Africa, this book introduces a new concept, ‘police frontierism’, which illuminates the nature of the relationships between the police, policing and boundaries, and can potentially be used for future case study research. Drawing on a wealth of research, this boo…
Safeguarding the Republic? The South African Police Service, Legitimacy and the Tribulations of Policing a Violent Democracy
Since 1994 the South African Police Service (SAPS) has undertaken various efforts to build legitimacy in South Africa. Extensive community policing resources have been made available, and a hybrid community-oriented programme (sector policing) has been pursued. Nevertheless, public opinion data has shown that there are low levels of public trust in the police. Using Goldsmith's framework of trust-diminishing police behaviours, this article sugges…
Police Militarisation and the 'War on Crime' in South Africa
In recent years, there has been a revival in scholarly interest in police militarisation. However, the debates about the impact of this phenomenon on society and governance have been mostly normative, and there have been very few case studies from other countries published to date. Consequently, this article seeks to contribute to knowledge on police militarisation by means of an analysis of police work in a lower- to middle-income democracy, nam…
Parading US Security Interests as African Security Policy

The Demand for Military Spending in South Africa
Understanding the factors that determine the military burdens in developing economies is an important area of research. Previous research has suggested that to understand the dynamics of the relationship between military burden and economic and strategic factors requires detailed case studies. This article provides an analysis of the South African experience, a particularly valuable case study given the importance of the military sector to the ap…
Reflections on demilitarization: A Southern African perspective
This article provides an analysis of demilitarization from a southern African perspective. It first explores the origins and influences of demilitarization; it surveys the current literature on demilitarization in southern Africa; and finally it assesses whether or not southern Africa has undergone, or is undergoing, a process of demilitarization. It argues that demilitarization in southern African is complex, multidimensional, relative and amorp…
Tuberculosis infection in urban adolescents: Results of a school-based testing program
In 1986-87 a pilot tuberculosis (TB) skin testing program was introduced for seventh and tenth grade students in the Boston (Massachusetts) public schools. The 8.9 percent tuberculin positivity rate in tenth grade students was significantly higher than the 5.1 percent rate found in seventh graders. A majority of those who were skin test positive were born outside the United States. These results suggest that tuberculin testing in an urban school …
