Tapa blanda. Zustand: New. El llibre presenta una breu història de la confrontació racial, la dominació, la despossessió i la recuperació a la regió coneguda avui com la República d'Àfrica del Sud, des del primer assentament humà al subcontinent fins a l'actualitat. Aquest coneixement és fonamental per a qualsevol estudi de les literatures sud-africanes atès que els poemes, les obres en prosa i el drama dels escriptors sud-africans són essencialment sociopolítics, constituint en molts casos una literatura d'ideologia, compromís i protesta.El libro presenta una breve historia de la confrontación racial, la dominación, el despojo y la recuperación en la región conocida hoy como República de África del Sur, desde el primer asentamiento del hombre en el subcontinente hasta la actualidad.

Zustand: Nuevo. Idees, productes, serveis. són coses dinnovació social. Tanmateix, si bé lèmfasi de moltes definicions de innovació social es basa en la novetat de les idees i els productes, la innovació social també tracta sobre laplicació i ladaptació didees i productes, que ja existeixen i que han existit des de fa temps, al fenomen nou del gran i creixent nombre de persones grans del món modern. En un sentit social, es requereix innovació social per crear idees, productes i serveis que transformin i actualitzin modes de comportament i canviïn actituds, percepcions, prejudicis i estigmes que es relacionen amb lenvelliment i amb les persones grans en general, de manera que els estereotips es deconstrueixin i es fomenti la igualtat en tots els àmbits de totes les generacions. Lobjectiu final de la innovació social hauria de ser ajudar els ancians a ajudar-se a sí mateixos, per mantenir un baix nivell de dependència social, econ.mica i de salut sempre que les seves circumstàncies personals ho permetin.

Softcover, 22 cm. Zustand: Sehr gut. 304 pp. A perfect copy. - Summary: Literary studies and their associated critical theories offer a refreshing viewpoint from which humanist-oriented studies of ageing may be re-conceptualized, and an integrated view of ageing and gender can be developed. The present volume builds on the work of seminal authors in the field of literary gerontology, while it also elaborates on important theories that age-critics have developed in the broader field of cultural gerontology, to present the experience of ageing, and old age in particular, as a creative phase of the life course that completes the older persons identity and, specifically, that of the older woman. As a contrast to stereotypical views of ageing women that are still sustained in both gerontological and social domains, the essays in this collection focus on the works of eleven women writers whose careers were or have been prolonged into their old age, and whose later literary creativity reveals fascinating aspects about both the complex, contradictory, and enriching experience of growing older, and especially of doing so as an artist and as a woman. - Contents: Introduction: Re-Discovering the Older Woman -- Part I: Women and Literary Creativity through the Lifespan -- "The only thing to do is to carry on, and the storm will blow over."
