Domestic Violence and the Law inColonial and Postcolonial Arica
Domes Volee ad e Law  Ara
reveals theways in which domestic space and domestic relation-ships take on dierent meanings in Arican contextsthat extend the boundaries o amily obligation, kinship,and dependency. The term domestic encompasses kin-based violence, marriage-based violence, gender-basedviolence, as well as violence between patrons andclients who share the same domestic space. As a livedexperience and as a social and historical unit o analysis,domestic violence in colonial and postcolonial Arica iscomplex.This collection brings into conversation historical, anthro-pological, legal, and activist perspectives on domesticviolence in Arica and osters a deeper understanding othe problem o domestic violence, the limits o interna-tional human rights conventions, and local and regionaleorts to address the issue.

The Law and the Prophets
Faith, Hope and Politics in Soth Arica,1968–1977
The 1970s is a decade virtually lost to South Arican his-toriography. This was the decade that bridged the exileand banning o the country’s best-known anti-apartheidleaders in the early 1960s and the urious protestsrenewed ater the Soweto uprisings o June 16, 1976.Scholars thus know that something happened—yet theyhave only begun to explore how and why.
te Law ad e Propes
is an intellectual history othe period between 1968 and 1977; it ollows the or-mation, early trials, and ultimate dissolution o that era’sBlack Consciousness movement. It diers rom previousanti-apartheid historiography, however, in that it is moreabout ideas than people and organizations. Its singularcontribution is its exploration o South Arican politics’‘theological’ turn during this time period. Magazinerargues that only by understanding how ideas aboutrace, aith, and sel-hood developed and transormed inthis period might we begin to understand the dramaticchanges that took place during these years.“No nation can win a battle without aith,” Steve Bikowrote, and as the book demonstrates, the combinationo ideological and theological exploration proved apotent motivator.

A Social History o Msic and Nation inLanda, Angola, rom 1945 to Recent Times
ioaos
tells the story o how Angola’s urban resi-dents in the late colonial period (roughly 1945–74) usedmusic to talk back to their colonial oppressors and, moreimportantly, to dene what it meant to be Angolan andwhat they hoped to gain rom independence.Marissa J. Moorman presents a social and culturalhistory o the relationship between Angolan cultureand politics. She argues that it was in and throughpopular urban music, produced mainly in the capital cityLuanda’s
musseques
(urban shantytowns), that Angolansorged the nation and developed expectations aboutindependence.
