This multi-authored volume offers a deep dive into the history, sociology, and politics of the oldest South African university press.In 2022 Wits University Press marked its centenary, making it the oldest university press in sub-Saharan Africa. While in part modelled on scholarly publishers from the global North, it has had to contend with the constraints of working under global South conditions: marginalisation within the university, budgetary limitations, small local markets, unequal access to international distribution and sales channels, and the privileging of English language publishing over indigenous languages. This volume showcases the history and achievements of the Press: from documenting its evolution through book covers and giving credence to some of the leading black intellectuals and writers of the early 20th century and the success of their works in spite of their authors’ racial marginalisation, to the role of women both in publishing and in the spaces afforded to women’s writing on the Press’s list. The collection concludes with author essays on the politics and experiences of choosing and working with a global South publisher. The collection shows the strategies deployed by the Press to professionalise Southern knowledge making and how local university presses support the scholarly mission of their universities for local and global audiences.Figures Acknowledgements Introduction: Experiments in Writing the History of a University Press – Sarah Nuttall and Isabel Hofmeyr Part 1 Covers and Contracts Chapter 1 Uncovered: One Hundred Years of Book Covers – Kirsten Perkins and Corina van der Spoel Chapter 2 Relations, Contracts, and Books at Wits University Press: 1922–1962 – Jonathan Klaaren Part 2 Southern Contradictions and Black Contributors Chapter 3 B.

Using conversations, observations, and reflections on his personal experiences, work with men, and scholarship, psychologist Kopano Ratele meditates on love, violence and masculinity.This book seeks to imagine the possibility of a more loving masculinity in a society where structural violence, failures of government and economic inequality underpin much of the violent behaviour that men display. Enriched with personal reflections on his own experiences as a partner, father, psychologist and researcher in the field of men and masculinities, Why Men Hurt Women and Other Reflections on Love, Violence and Masculinity is Kopano Ratele’s meditation on love and violence, and the way these forces shape the emotional lives of boys and men. Blending academic substance and rigour in a readable narrative style, Ratele illuminates the complex nuances of gender, intimacy and power in the context of the human need for love and care. While unsparing in its analysis of men’s inner lives, Ratele lays out a path for addressing the hunger for love in boys and men. He argues that just as the beliefs and practices relating to gender, sexuality and the nature of love are constantly being challenged and revised, so our ideas about masculinity, and men’s and boys’ capacity to show genuine loving care for each other and for women, can evolve. Foreword by Raewyn Connell Part 1: Love 1 Why do women love men? 2 One ear turned inward and the other outward 3 Love needs 4 We can change how we love, but not without changing how we fight 5 Love hunger shows itself in many acts, and violence may be one of them 6 Why there is no love in the Plan 7 I love you, but I wish to hurt you 8 To love is to receive and to give 9 Talking matters 10 Listening carefully is an articulate act of love in action 11 Must love hurt? 12 The world is not yet ready for loving black boys 13 Producing and embodying the loving images we want of ourselves 14 If women stopped caring for men Part 2: Violence 15 ‘I am more scared of them’ 16 Men who speak with fists 17 Violence wears many faces 18 ‘Brothers, check yourselves!’ 19 ‘I have never raped anyone’ is not an achievement 20 Why is there violence where we expect to find love? 21 Really nice guys 22 ‘There was nothing suspicious about him’ 23 They don’t teach about sexual consent at university or at home 24 Jeanne and Emmanuel 25 Is the lesbian an alibi for an untenable model of masculinity? 26 Will we reduce rates of rape of women and children when we cannot face prison rape? Part 3: Masculinity 27 Trying to transform men is not a futile exercise, but it is slow and difficult work 28 A few key ideas to consider when thinking about men and changing masculinity 29 The politician told students you can’t ask for money from somebody who raped you 30 ‘Dad, look at me’ 31 ‘I have never hit a woman’ gets you no loving man award 32 Before death, before conception, in the many in-between moments, then repeat 33 Baldwin was a full man 34 The masculinity of a man who is a boy 35 Mr President, end patriarchy? 36 When work gets in the way of emotional connections 37 Love cannot escape power 38 What’s up with all this attention given to boys? 39 The fact of lovelessness in why men hurt others 40 Inheriting and passing down a loving masculinity Acknowledgements Index

Innovative in form and content, The World Looks Like This From Here offers thoughts about the ideas, contestation, urgency and desire around a psychological praxis in Africa for Africans. Setting out a situated, pluralising framework for researching, teaching and practising African psychology, the book urges reflection on and reconsideration of how the discipline is taught and practised on the continent. Writing against the universal application of a Western model of psychology, which is unreflective about its locatedness even as it pushes Africa to the margins, Ratele urges readers to engage and think deeply about new ways of seeing and thinking about the self and others. He asserts that the deliberate attempt to see the world from Africa – to look at everything with the whole self from here – leads to heightened consciousness about ways of being in the world, and enhances the capacity for healing. This lyrical, philosophical and poetic treatise is a cogent and timely response to the call for the decolonisation of social sciences and other disciplines.

Social science researchers in the global South, and in South Africa particularly, utilise research methods in innovative ways in order to respond to contexts characterised by diversity, racial and political tensions, socioeconomic disparities and gender inequalities.
