Masculinity and Mayhem
We describe an incident of disruptive behavior which occurred in a boys' school in South Africa, and the context in which it occurred.

Descriptions are offered of practices and rituals which show how gender is performed within an elite boys' school and how this incident illuminates the gender regime of the institution…
Women Suffering through Their Bodies
This article is concerned with the nature of suffering as experienced by women struggling with problems related to the body. Since the body is viewed as integral in the formation of a woman's identity and self-concept, any illness, ailment, or deficiency associated with it may lead her to experience pain and suffering. To explore meanings of personal suffering, three contexts were chosen, namely familial breast cancer, eating disorders, and infer…

Themes were identified which led to a delineation of how each parent coped with this trauma in their lives. In addition, the researchers' persp…

White ethnic attitudes after Soweto
Measurements of attitude towards various South African ethnic groups were obtained for Afrikaans and English-speaking Whites, both before and after the early phase of the Soweto riots in 1976. Although the samples are not very large, a fairly clear pattern of results emerges. The riots had a negative effect on the attitudes of Afrikaans-speaking subjects towards Blocks, white English-speaking subjects showed positive attitude changes toward both …
