Looking back, I know that I was not a man that day
This article examines what Nelson Mandela’s autobiography alludes to as ‘Xhosa tradition’ and its ambiguous relationship with African nationalism in the first half of the 20th century. I contrast Mandela’s qualified embrace of tradition with the more directly negative attitudes towards ethnic customs in general among the Eastern Cape nationalists of his generation. I argue that, unlike his comrades, Mandela retained a critical embrace of traditio…
Intention to reduce stigma for people who are affected by HIV A theory of planned behavior based approach
With an official HIV infection rate of 18,5%, approximately one in five South Africans are HIV positive. Despite this prevalence, stigma and discrimination associated with being HIV positive is widespread. HIV-related stigma emanates from the fact that HIV is associated with risky behaviors such as drug use, sexual promiscuity, homosexuality and transactional sex. Participants were recruited through announcements in classrooms and during communit…
Health-Promotion Intervention Increases Self-Reported Physical Activity in Sub-Saharan African University Students
To evaluate the efficacy of a health-promotion intervention in increasing self-reported physical activity among university students in Sub-Saharan Africa. Randomly selected second-year students at a university in South Africa were randomized to an intervention based on social cognitive theory: health-promotion, targeting physical activity and fruit, vegetable, and fat consumption; or HIV risk-reduction, targeting sexual-risk behaviors. Participan…
Mediation of an Efficacious HIV Risk Reduction Intervention for South African Men
The Cambridge Companion to Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela was one of the most revered figures of our time. He committed himself to a compelling political cause, suffered a long prison sentence, and led his violent and divided country to a peaceful democratic transition. His legacy, however, is not uncontested: his decision to embark on an armed struggle in the 1960s, his solitary talks with apartheid officials in the 1980s, and the economic policies adopted during his presidency still spa…
Protective Factors and HIV Risk Behavior Among South African Men
Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial of an HIV/Sexually Transmitted Infection Risk-Reduction Intervention for South African Men
Objectives. We tested the efficacy of a sexual risk-reduction intervention for men in South Africa, where heterosexual exposure is the main mode of HIV transmission. Methods. Matched-pairs of neighborhoods in Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, were randomly selected and within pairs randomized to 1 of 2 interventions based on social cognitive theory and qualitative research: HIV/sexually transmitted infection (STI) risk-reduction, targeting con…
Caregivers’ Intentions to Disclose HIV Diagnosis to Children Living with HIV in South Africa
Clingman’s Question to Mandela and the Problem of Identity
Clingman’s essay is a warm intellectual tribute to what he calls a “classic generation,” including Nelson Mandela, Bram Fischer, Ruth First, Walter Sisulu, Oliver Thambo, and Yusuf Dadoo, a group o
A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study of an HIV Risk-Reduction Intervention for Sub-Saharan African University Students
Disclosure of HIV diagnosis to HIV-infected children in South Africa
Worldwide about 2.5 million children younger than 15 years of age are living with HIV, and more than 2.3 million of them live in sub-Saharan Africa. Antiretroviral therapy has reduced mortality among HIV-infected children, and as they survive into adolescence, disclosing to them their diagnosis has emerged as a difficult issue, with many adolescents unaware of their diagnosis. There is a need to build an empirical foundation for strategies to app…
Cattle for Wives and Extramarital Trysts for Husbands? Lobola, Men, and HIV/STD Risk Behavior in Southern Africa
Lobola is in many Southern African countries a tradition, which is expected to be adhered by anyone who is part or want to be part of the community. It is about paying respect to the elders, the family and the community. It is a significant element of marriage among many tribes and there are strict rules to adhere. In order to determine how much the actual fact of payment of lobola would influence the behavior of husbands and wives, we conducted …
Theory of planned behaviour predictors of intention to use condoms among Xhosa adolescents in South Africa
HIV/AIDS is taking a heavy toll on South African youth. Reducing their risk for HIV requires an understanding of the determinants of their HIV risk behaviours that are amendable to intervention-induced change. This study draws upon the theory of planned behaviour to identify the modifiable determinants of the intention to use condoms among Xhosa-speaking South African adolescents. The participants were 390 Xhosa-speaking 6th grade students (mean …

Christmas Time' and the Struggles for the Household in the Countryside
In this paper, I take advantage of a space of interdisciplinary research that has emerged at the intersection of human and social sciences since the advent of radical revisionist scholarship in South African Studies in the 1980s. Within this space, I argue for a rethinking of the geography of cultures of migrancy. By focusing attention on rural (rather than urban) contexts of the cultures of mobility that accrue with migrancy, I argue that we can…

The Long Conversation' the Enduring Salience of Nineteenth-Century Missionary/Colonial Encounters in Post-Apartheid South Africa
This essay argues that the work of Jean and John Comaroff on the early nineteenth-century missionary encounters in southern Africa, particularly their notion of 'long conversation,' remains very relevant to post-apartheid issues in South Africa. To this effect I offer a reading of three ethnographic snapshots from my fieldwork at the University of Fort Hare, to show that post-apartheid conversations over the transformation of social institutions …
Real Men Reawaken Their Fathers' Homesteads, the Educated Leave Them in Ruins
An historical ethnography of generational conflicts in a rural community in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa, this paper engages debates on the consequences of global neo-liberalism in local contexts. Through cash from migrant labor, rural household heads exercised power over domestic economics. Ideologically this power translated into the symbolic articulation of two institutions of social reproduction-the school and initiation rite suc…
