Banda M: Steadfast and Solid

Steadfast and Solid

The autobiography of rev Maxwell Mezuwa Banda

Routledge Studies in Health in Africa

Over the past 30 years, an ever-expanding community of global health actors have been intervening in the poorest parts of the world with the aim of combatting disease and improving health outcomes. While many global health programmes in the Global South have been successful in saving lives, their successes have often been compromised by poor coordination, inefficiency and a lack of alignment with national priorities.This book outlines the deep historical and political dimensions of this fragmentation, using rural Zambia as a case study. In the name of global health, different actors produce and circulate radically different stories about how to improve health. These narratives not only contribute to a fragmented landscape of health provision but also create more subtle and pervasive forms of fragmentation in the everyday lives of health workers, patients and government officials. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in rural Zambia, this book examines three different global health interventions driven by differing stories of salvation, community and experimentation. Tracing the longer history of these stories, the book shows how they have failed to account for the realities of life in rural Zambia.Providing an innovative and nuanced analysis of global health that challenges the idea of fragmentation as simply a technical problem, this book will be an important read for researchers of global health and African studies.

Saviourism, Community, and Experimentation in Zambia

Global Health in Fragments

The birth of new nations, independent democracies, the defeat of settler colonialism, the unprecedented growth of cities from Lagos to Cairo; the African continent is booming. So why do myths about underdevelopment, unproductive land and unfounded concerns about overpopulation remain?In a groundbreaking new study of Africa's developmental history, economist Joe Studwell debunks long-held views about the continent's presumed resistance to growth, charting monumental changes in government, demography and asset management. Considering everything from settler colonialism to soil conditions, mineral extractivism to disease development and eradication, and across case studies from Rwanda to Botswana, Studwell persuasively argues that the seizing back of land, people and states across Africa, has also been the seizure of mass economic development. From slavery to independence and beyond, this is the definitive account of the world's second largest continent - and an optimistic look to its future.

Success and Failure on the World's Last Developmental Frontier

How Africa Works

On a defining evening of the 1980s, Donald Trump hosted celebrities and high rollers in a Jersey Shore town to witness 21-year-old Mike Tyson knock out Michael Spinks in just 91 seconds, earning more than the annual payrolls of the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics combined. Only eight years earlier, Tyson, a troubled child from Brooklyn, was taken under the wing of boxing legend Cus D'Amato in upstate New York. Their story of mutual redemption captivated novelists, screenwriters, and the emerging cable TV industry. Tyson became HBO's leading man long before Tony Soprano. Despite the immense success, Tyson's story was more complex and darker than it appeared. Over the decades, he has been villainized, lionized, and fetishized-but never fully humanized until now. Acclaimed biographer Mark Kriegel, who first encountered Tyson as a young reporter, explores Tyson's life through what he survived rather than whom he knocked out. Tyson, often compared to Jack Dempsey, was more akin to Sonny Liston-Black, feared, and expected to die young. What made Liston a pariah made Tyson a touchstone for a generation influenced by hip hop and gunfire. Kriegel captures not just Tyson's rise but his profound impact on the American psyche.

The making of Mike Tyson

Baddest Man

Why does it feel like people no longer agree on what's real? Institutions still exist. Experts still speak. News still flows. But for many people, something more basic has changed. Authority no longer organizes reality in the way it once did. Trust has thinned. Shared standards have weakened. And in the space left behind, people are building their own systems for deciding what is true.

The Trust Vacuum is not a book about misinformation, ignorance, or cognitive bias. It is about what happens psychologically and socially when shared authority stops working. It examines how people respond when familiar sources of credibility no longer feel reliable, and why skepticism is rarely the end point. Instead, people construct replacement systems-personal rules, group narratives, identity-based trust, influencers, and alternative authorities-to make the world feel coherent and livable again.

Drawing on psychology, social dynamics, and everyday experience, this book explores:

¿ Why people need usable, coherent reality to function
¿ How private rules for truth quietly replace shared standards
¿ Why identity and belonging now shape credibility
¿ How subcultures become trust infrastructure
¿ Why influencers and para-experts gain authority
¿ How "do your own research" becomes a moral identity
¿ Why narrative often outweighs institutional evidence
¿ How conspiracy systems provide structure and meaning
¿ Why beliefs persist even after disconfirmation
¿ How competing realities strain relationships and social life

Rather than treating people as irrational or broken, The Trust Vacuum shows how many modern belief patterns are adaptive responses to a fragmented trust environment. It explains not just what people believe, but what those beliefs are doing for them-emotionally, socially, and psychologically.

This is a book for anyone trying to understand why conversations feel harder, why disagreement feels deeper, and why reality itself now seems contested. It does not offer easy fixes. It offers clarity about the condition we are living in, and what it means to live in a world where shared reality is no longer guaranteed.

How People Rebuild Reality When Institutions Stop Making Sense

The Trust Vacuum

Contemporary Management Practices

In an era defined by rapid technological advancement, socio-economic disruptions, and heightened awareness of sustainability, organizations and societies alike face an intricate web of challenges. This book brings together diverse scholarly perspectives that explore the human, environmental, and systemic aspects of development across sectors. The book explores critical issues such as workforce engagement, mental health, entrepreneurial barriers, climate change, healthcare transformation, event management, and the digital economy. It examines the impact of leadership and rewards on performance, as well as the role of English proficiency in multicultural workplaces, showcasing how human-centric and sustainable practices are transforming traditional organizational models. The book underscores the importance of aligning human resource strategies with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Triple Bottom Line (TBL) principles, and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) frameworks. It investigates how innovations in technology, policy, and organizational behaviour can address challenges in rural development, gender inclusion, ecological responsibility, and service delivery. Featuring empirical insights, case studies, and strategic frameworks, this resource offers a multidimensional perspective on turning contemporary challenges into opportunities for inclusive growth, resilience, and innovation. Part of the Contemporary Management Practices series, this book will be of interest to students and researchers of Human Resource Management, Human Resource Development, Organizational Studies and Business, Management and Marketing.

Reimagining Human Resources for Inclusive and Sustainable Development

Technological Disruption in Legal Education and Practice

Routledge Revivals

First published in 1978, Social Work is concerned with relating social methods and objectives to political ideology. Social work grew out of the fertile tradition of mainstream Liberal radicalism in the nineteenth century, and to appreciate its largely implicit contemporary value framework it is essential to analyse the ideologies of 'Conservatism' and 'social democracy' which have dominated Britain in the twentieth century. The links between social work methods and aspirations and political ideology are thus explored in some detail. A key argument which closely involves social work relates to the potential for social change within the existing institutional structures. The question of 'Legitimation' is thoroughly examined in this context from all viewpoints, and the conclusions for social work development are discussed. This book will be of interest to students of social work, sociology and political science.

Routledge Studies in Political Sociology

This book develops and applies the theory of lethal moralism to explain the different types and growth of terrorism over the last half-century, from 1970 to 2020.Drawing on data from the Global Terrorism Database, supplemented with original research differentiating groups based on their ideological orientations, it delves into the social and cultural forces that influence those who engage in terrorism, including the dynamic processes of "othering" that produce the social polarization crucial for understanding why some groups resort to lethal violence to handle their grievances. It systematically applies the theory of lethal moralism to explain the main types of terrorism rooted in different ideological frameworks, including left-wing terrorism, nationalist and separatist movements, religious terrorism (including a separate chapter on radical Islam), and right-wing extremism and hate groups.As a theoretically informed study of the main varieties of terrorism and the evolution of terrorism in the digital age, Terrorism as Moralistic Violence will appeal to scholars of sociology, criminology, social theory, and politics with interests in political violence and terrorist movements.

An Integrated Theory of Terrorism’s Lethal Nature

Terrorism as Moralistic Violence

In Shock and Yawn, Megan Sibbett confronts state-sanctioned, mundane violence committed in the name of protection and argues that queer storytelling is an ideal avenue for recognizing, theorizing, and subverting it: Through queer stories, we have a direct window into the real-world ramifications of violence that purports to be for the public good. This violence, reinforced and normalized through surveillance campaigns, failure-to-protect laws, border policies, and government messaging, is obscured by both its banality and its benevolent veneer, in which children, or imagined children, are central to its logic of protection.
 
 Building on queer theorists' critiques of intimate and administrative violence, especially Gloria Anzaldúa's "intimate terrorism," Sibbett develops methodologies for conceptualizing and subverting violence aimed at queer, racialized, and gendered bodies in this era of surveillance and increasing authoritarianism. Sibbett addresses book bans, anti-trans legislation, idealized histories of westward expansion, and more, examining materials that include public service announcements, advertising, social media, news reports, poems, interviews, and novels. In so doing, she demonstrates the crucial role queer testimonies-and queer histories and queer futures-play in revealing systemic violence and illuminating the transformative potential of everyday resistance.

Resisting Banal Terror Through Queer Storytelling

Shock and Yawn

La historia, la literatura, la filosofía o las artes se han conformado como reflejo de la relación entre cultura y política. Su entramado de alianzas, oposiciones, enamoramientos y apropiaciones han definido, y definen nuestro mundo. Política y la cultura friccionan porque, en sí mismos, son dos poderes, aunque interdependientes, a los que incomoda el sometimiento.
En la obra de César Antonio Molina la reflexión sobre la cultura y la política se entrelazan de una forma veraz, como un Odiseo que ha navegado en las dos aguas, y no con la impostura y desconocimiento del que solo ha visto el mundo desde una sola perspectiva.
Teniendo como hilo conductor la relación entre el intelectual y el poder, el autor teje en este libro una urdimbre de erudición, sentimiento y sabia clarividencia por el que transitan insurgentes como Aristóteles o Derrida, Dante o Hölderlin, Zambrano y Arendt. Todos ellos vistos por la incisiva y erudita óptica del compañero de armas, del iniciado en los mismos cultos mistéricos de la literatura y el pensamiento.

Routledge Studies in Sustainable Development

Aimed at practitioners and students in environmental studies, development, economics and geography, this book systematically investigates how sustainable development can be achieved at the local and global level. Instead of problems, it focuses on practical solutions for the reader to take for themselves, in their community, and in their career.Based on the latest scientific research, case studies, and voices from the Global North and the Global South, How to Achieve Sustainable Development is divided into five key Parts. It reviews why business-as-usual is no longer an option; how to engage with governance, finance, and collective action; where transformation hotspots for achieving sustainable development exist; how local change happens in sustainable development; and finally, what happens next. Chapters take a deep dive into improved human capabilities, just economies, sustainable food and energy production, gender inequality and resilience. It moves beyond merely recognizing the challenges faced in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), instead focusing on real-world pathways to address these, beyond the 2030 timeline. Each solution is framed within this context and promotes taking complexity seriously, as opposed to ignoring it.Alongside the book, appendix material provides guidance for personal action, and digital resources offer up-to-date opportunities for further engagement.Explore the book's dedicated website at: sustainabledevelopment.me
