Download or read book Children in South African Families written by Nene Ernest Khalema and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive overview of African children’s lives in times of transition, transformation, and change some twenty-two years after political emancipation in South Africa. With diverse family formations, non-marital childbearing, and diverse parenting situations prevalent in South Africa, the book covers both the conceptual and theoretical questions that explore the context of children’s experiences. It uses examples from a range of primary and secondary data sources to illustrate how resilience in children faced with adversity could be nurtured, demonstrating the links between theory and practice, and critically commenting on questions of epistemology by drawing on research with children within different African social and cultural contexts. While the volume affirms the complexities of explaining child adversity or privilege, it stresses the diversity of South African children’s experiences and the importance of adopting both children’s rights and Afro-centric perspectives to account for the commonality and diversity of childhood and children’s empowerment in diverse family systems. The contributions also provide recommendations on how to respond and intervene in children’s issues, from both practical and policy levels, in a dedicated manner to ensure that children are protected from harm, nurtured to succeed, and assisted during and after traumatic experiences. This volume represents a valuable resource for scholars and students in the fields of humanities, social science, development studies and public health, as well as policy makers, child practitioners, and child rights advocates.

Download or read book Families and Households in Post-apartheid South Africa written by Acheampong Yaw Amoateng and published by HSRC Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior to South Africa's democratic transition in 1994, studies of families and households were limited by the structure of apartheid and the lack of adequate social and economic data. Large social changes since that time have had a profound effect on public-policy planning and service delivery, and this monograph takes a new look at the lingering effects of colonialism and apartheid on South African families, as well as their economic gains. Experts from the fields of demographics, economics, psychology, and sociology report their findings on living arrangements across rural and urban divides; on access to toilets, electricity, water, and housing; on rates of marriage and divorce; on fertility and infant mortality; and on the housework and other chores performed by children.

Book excerpt: Authors from a range of backgrounds and disciplines break new ground in this collection of essays exploring the centrality of fatherhood in the lives of men and the experiences of children. The book is separated into sections that address different ways that the presence or absence of a father affects both the man and the family, from the conceptual questions of fatherhood to historical perspectives--including the input of class and race issues--to the portrayal of fathers in the media. By turning attention to aspects of fatherhood, each study illuminates the role of the male parent, making the ultimate argument that the contribution of men to their families can be a positive force for change in society as a whole.

Download or read book Collaborative capacity development to complement stroke rehabilitation in Africa written by Quinette Louw and published by AOSIS. This book was released on 2020-12-31 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This scholarly book focuses on stroke in Africa. Stroke is a leading cause of disability among adults of all ages, contributing significantly to health care costs related to long term implications, particularly if rehabilitation is sub-optimal. Given the burden of stroke in Africa, there is a need for a book that focuses on functioning African stroke survivors and the implications for rehabilitation within the African context. In addition, there is a need to progress with contextualised, person-centred, evidence-based guidance for the rehabilitation of people with stroke in Africa, thereby enabling them to lead socially and economically meaningful lives. The research incorporated in the book used a range of primary and secondary methodological approaches (scoping reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, descriptive studies, surveys, health economics, and clinical practice guideline methodology) to shed new insights into African-centred issues and strategies to optimise function post-stroke.

Download or read book Violence & Family Life in Contemporary South Africa written by Lorraino Glanz and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Violence has permeated South Africa's social and cultural life for many years. It has insinuated itself even into the confines of domestic relations and close-kin associations. Yet for decades the discriminatory reporting of violence has tended to hide its true extent, particularly as experienced by the disadvantaged sectors of the country's population. Violence and family life in contemporary South Africa: research and policy issues discusses the contemporary manifestations of violence in South African society. It presents a collection of empirically based papers on the effect of violence on family life. This is followed by a group of papers specifically solicited to examine the empirical contributions in order to make recommendations on policy and intervention strategies by relevant agencies. This book is a unique attempt to bring together in a single volume the many faces and effects of violence in South Africa, making an invaluable source of information for students and academics. The translation of empirical findings into recommendations for policy and intervention also makes it an essential reference volume for policy makers, state planners and law enforcement and oother practitioners.

Book excerpt: There is a gap between the hope for improved social conditions in post-apartheid South Africa and the grim reality of black life there is especially striking for South African children who face serious threats to their health and development as a consequence of poverty, racism, violence, and residual social inequality. Mandela's Children presents the contrasting conditions of hope and peril that characterize life in South African families, schools, and communities. Using empirical data and qualitative case studies, the authors analyze and discuss research on children's behavioral, emotional, and academic development and how they are influenced by community violence, household poverty and family functioning. This discussion is balanced by one that considers the competence, health and resilience of South African children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In sub-Saharan Africa, older people make up a relatively small fraction of the total population and are supported primarily by family and other kinship networks. They have traditionally been viewed as repositories of information and wisdom, and are critical pillars of the community but as the HIV/AIDS pandemic destroys family systems, the elderly increasingly have to deal with the loss of their own support while absorbing the additional responsibilities of caring for their orphaned grandchildren. Aging in Sub-Saharan Africa explores ways to promote U.S. research interests and to augment the sub-Saharan governments' capacity to address the many challenges posed by population aging. Five major themes are explored in the book such as the need for a basic definition of "older person," the need for national governments to invest more in basic research and the coordination of data collection across countries, and the need for improved dialogue between local researchers and policy makers. This book makes three major recommendations: 1) the development of a research agenda 2) enhancing research opportunity and implementation and 3) the translation of research findings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the quality and characteristics of black families in South Africa. The research focused on three areas: values and norms regarding marriage and family life, the deterioration of traditional and parental authority, and parenting skills. The fieldwork was done during the years 1988-1990 and consisted mostly of group interviews and group discussions with over 300 respondents across 3 generations; all interviews were taped and subsequently analyzed. A qualitative research design was employed to collect, organize, and interpret the research data. Data were analyzed according to a descriptive approach providing for the individual experiences and views of black South Africans regarding their family life. The main strengths of the family as revealed by the group interviews and discussions appeared to be the enduring belief in the family as an institution, and in its resilience under adverse circumstances. The most serious weaknesses found were the decline of parental and adult authority coupled with debilitating structural problems. The latter include the physical absence of parents or caregivers, often for long periods of time. The recommendations derived from the results concentrate on ways and means to maintain or achieve a close bond between caregivers and youth. (Contains 51 references.) (Author/AS)

Book excerpt: "The family' has become a significant and growing focus of study across a variety of disciplinary perspectives in the humanities, social sciences, and law. In South Africa, there has been controversy and substantial debate over an apparent 'crisis of the family' during the last two decades. Ideological contestations have emerged over social morality and appeals for a return to traditional 'family values'. In order to provide a better understanding of the supposed 'crisis of the family', it is necessary to use public opinion data to explore family cohesion, family values and the promotion of family life. SASAS - Family Matters: Family Cohesion, values and wellbeing promotes the family by drawing on unique data to offer insight into the diverse realities of contemporary family life in South Africa. It explores a series of family-related values and preferences, and charts the basis and nature of support for policy intervention in the family."-- Back cover.
