Supporting each other
Older adults vulnerable to food insecurity are at risk of poor psychological and physical health. Poor public infrastructure or proximity to food sources can exacerbate risk of food insecurity. Reduced statutory services for social care has heightened the responsibility on third sector organisations and community-led volunteering, essential to supporting healthy ageing in place and reducing the inequalities of ageing. The aim of this qualitative …

African diasporas, development and the politics of context
This article seeks to add to the debate on the role of diasporas in development outcomes in sub-Saharan Africa by considering why diasporas are not apparently as effective as development agents in an African setting as they have proven thus far in other regions. It argues that changing diasporic engagement and activities on the continent should be examined against the backdrop of the emergence of a ‘liberalisation from below’ which emphasises loc…
Afrikaner Capital Elites, Neo-Liberalism and Economic Transformation in Post-Apartheid South Africa
In the aftermath of the transition, and with the uneven progression of the liberal democratic project in contemporary South Africa, the profile of Afrikaner capital elites in the key mining and financial sectors has remained prominent. Yet the contribution of these actors, whether as a distinct fraction of capital or as individuals, to the post-apartheid economy is not fully understood. Even whilst they have reformed their local presence and reco…
Development challenges for a resurgent African diaspora
This article seeks to explore the politics of an increasingly prominent African diaspora. It does so by locating the growing debate on diasporas and development in a broader political economy context to provide a historical understanding of how the African diaspora, and its contribution to development outcomes, is shaped by Africa’s distinctive politics. In particular, the article considers the significance of neo-patrimonial systems of governanc…
Afrikaners in the New South Africa
How has the position of Afrikaners changed since the end of the Apartheid regime in South Africa? While the links between Afrikaner nationalist identity and the apartheid regime have been irrevocably altered, it is evident that this newly disempowered minority still commands a vast material and cultural capital. Certain Afrikaans speakers have become important players in the new South Africa and on the world stage. Davies argues that the global p…

Rebuilding the Future or Revisiting the Past? Post-apartheid Afrikaner Politics
Orthodox analyses have presented a bleak future for the Afrikaner community in contemporary South Africa, subjugated under the stewardship of a state entirely dominated by an African National Congress (ANC) government that is broadly aligned against Afrikaner interests. This paper seeks to clarify the changes and tensions apparent within a very heterodox Afrikaner community, as well as the mutually empowering linkages between the globalised polit…
Reconceptualising the migration – development nexus
The presence of a sizeable expatriate African population constitutes a potentially exploitable, if undeveloped, resource that represents a significant developmental challenge for the continent. Problematically the global division of labour and power, as well as differences of region, class, generation, ethnicity and race, are not properly recognised within the existing scholarship or development policy. What is clear is that diasporas do have a s…
The next generation
OBJECTIVES. The offspring of individuals with premature coronary heart disease are themselves at increased risk for myocardial infarction before the age of 55. Consensus panels have recommended that all such offspring undergo an evaluation of cardiovascular risk, including cholesterol testing. METHODS. To examine self-reported rates of cardiovascular risk factor assessment in this population, we conducted a telephone survey of 318 Canadian adults…
