    Open AccessSusanna Price, Warren A Van Wicklin et al.ARTICLESocial Change2020Cited by: 1References: 20

    The right to compensation and rehabilitation for those displaced by projects is a generally recognised principle of multilateral development institutions and, increasingly, of national governments. There is no such consensus of the concept of benefit-sharing—neither its definition nor realisation. This paper advances this discussion: reviewing past performance of benefit-sharing and anticipating its future rationale, timing and delivery. Drawing …

  • Revisioning John Chrysostom: New Approaches, New Perspectives

    Chris De Wet, Wendy MayerBOOKRevisioning John Chrysostom2019

    In Revisioning John Chrysostom, Chris de Wet and Wendy Mayer harness and promote a new wave of scholarship on the life and works of this famous late-antique (c. 350-407 CE) preacher. New theories from the cognitive and neurosciences, cultural and sleep studies, and history of the emotions, among others, meld with reconsideration of lapsed approaches – his debt to Graeco-Roman paideia, philosophy, and now medicine – resulting in sometimes surprisi…

  • The Application of International Resettlement Policy in African Villagization Projects

    Chris L De Wet, Chris De WetARTICLEHuman Organization2012

    It is now widely agreed that anything less than consciously planned and implemented development for resettled people will leave them worse off. Compensation is not up to the task of restorative, let alone just, resettlement. But what happens when, as in the case of smaller scale, but widely occurring, projects involving resettlement, the "development" projects do not give rise to significant new resources, thereby effectively making resettlement …

  • Between Power and Priestcraft: The Politics of Prayer in 2 Maccabees

    Chris L De Wet, Chris De WetARTICLEReligion and Theology2009

    The aim of this study is to experiment with a prominent feature in religious texts, namely prayers, and aims to look at the political function of prayer. As an example one religious text from the Septuagint (LXX) is taken, namely the Second Book of the Maccabees, and the experiment is conducted with reference to this text. First, a cultural-systems model of Second Temple Judaism is given, and second, the literary accounts of prayers and prayer-na…

  • Reconsidering displacement in southern Africa

    Chris L De Wet, Chris De WetARTICLEAnthropology Southern Africa2008Cited by: 11References: 11

    In the light of developments in the southern African region over the last number of years, the paper argues for a reconsideration, and an extension, of the way in which the concept of 'displacement' has conventionally been understood. It considers a range of different kinds of population movement, arguing that they are essentially interrelated, and that the more conventional distinction between voluntary and involuntary migration is becoming incr…

  • Development-Induced Displacement: Where to From Here?

    C J De Wet, Chris De WetBOOKDevelopment-induced displacement2005

    Some ten million people worldwide are displaced or resettled every year, due to development projects, such as the construction of dams, irrigation schemes, urban development, transport, conservation or mining projects. The results have usually been very negative for most of those people who have to move, as well as for other people in the area, such as host populations. People are often left socially and institutionally disrupted and economically…

  • Resettlement and land reform in South Africa

    Open AccessChris L De Wet, Chris De WetARTICLEReview of African Political Economy1994Cited by: 5References: 3

    Since 1913, at least seven million South Africans, mainly Africans, have been uprooted or actively resettled for predominantly political purposes. This article provides a brief overview of the extent and the consequences of several different kinds of resettlement. It then argues that land reform in a post‐apartheid South Africa will require further resettlement, and considers a number of possible settlement patterns, as well as some of the proble…

  • Resettlement and Environment: A Comparison of Villagization in Two South African Settlements

    Chris De WetARTICLEPracticing Anthropology1990

    Forced resettlement almost inevitably leaves the affected communities economically worse off and socially disrupted—but in some cases mote so than others. Why should some be more fortunate than others? In an attempt to answer this question, I would like to compare two communities in South Africa which were subjected to the same sort of resettlement, but which have experienced it and have come out of it in very different ways-largely because of th…

  • Betterment planning in a rural village in Keiskammahoek,Ciskei

    Chris L De Wet, Chris De WetARTICLEJournal of Southern African Studies1989Cited by: 11References: 2

    This paper provides a case-study of the planning and implementation of a Betterment scheme in a rural Ciskei village, or 'location' (the official administrative term for such settlements). It assesses some of the agricultural, demographic and ecological consequences of that process; and it argues that both the people who experienced Betterment planning, as well as the government officials at the local level who were responsible for the planning a…
