"At a time when anger about police violence is voluble and global, there is a danger that the ordinary men and women who don police uniforms will be dismissed as mere villains. Andrew Faull brings a welcome dose of critical sympathy to his portraits of South African police officers. Faull is not shy to describe their violence; nor does he flinch from analysing the dark and destructive work they do. But he nonetheless keeps asking a single question with compassion and with curiosity: who do police officers think they are? The result is a work of pathos and understanding, a portrait of police officers both as agents of injustice and as authors of precarious life projects in a world they can scarcely control."
Jonny Steinberg, Professor of African Studies, African Studies Centre, University of Oxford, UK
"This is a very important book, contributing significantly to making sense of the complexities of the life world and the responses of the men and women of the South African Police Service. This book demonstrates that how police act is the result not simply of a workplace identity, but also as a result of their daily organisational and societal interactions. In so doing, this book steers away from stereotypes and set understandings of ‘police culture’ and ‘police deviance’ through its ethnographic and social interactionist approach which gives voice to the organisational actors it seeks to understand. My congratulations to Andrew Faull on this contribution to South African and international policing studies."
Monique Marks, Research Professor and Head of the Urban Futures Centre, Durban University of Technology, South Africa
"Police Work and Identity offers rich insights into the everyday workings of the South African police as well as policing elsewhere. Faull has managed to write a balanced account where our presence next to and together with the police officers from various parts of South Africa allows us to understand the world through their eyes without loosing the critical edge which is imperative in any analysis of policing."
Steffen Jensen, Professor in the Department of Culture and Global Studies, Aalborg University, Denmark
"In this ground-breaking book Andrew Faull brings an astute and sensitive ethnographic eye to questions of police and police-work in South Africa. Eschewing simplistic ‘cop culture’ approaches, he shows that the way policing is ‘done’ in South Africa is heavily inflected by police officers’ search for security of self and identity in a context marked by highly charged history and present-day uncertainty, inequality, and division. What goes on inside the police organization is shown to be firmly tied to the wider social, political and cultural context – and the stories people in South Africa tell about themselves and their society – thus challenging visions of timeless, context-independent police cultures."

Faunal Diversity of Indian Wildlife Sanctuaries: Part- VIII

Clustering Based Image Segmentation for Multi Resolution Images

Teaching Diversity Relationally intersects the fields of clinical psychology and critical studies to advance an anti-racist education with a focus on social justice and grounded in the pedagogy of being human, in relationship and vulnerable. The text is an invitation to a collegial conversation of care and connection framed around the developmental arc of the academic semester and the educator learning "how" to do this work well and with heart. It is a text that partners with the reader, educators and leaders, to lean into their vulnerability toward their liberation in justice-centered teaching and learning practices to cultivate　a parallel liberatory process for our students and ultimately our society.　

Wendi S. Williams, Dean, School of Education, Mills College

By centering emotional and relational dynamics in the classroom from a social justice perspective, Kim, Donovan, and Suyemoto engage the reader in a conversation about teaching diversity and transformational learning. More specifically, the authors personally invite those who have been hesitant to participate in this work, as well as those who have been doing this work for years, to join the conversation. The ongoing dialogue between the authors and their readers makes these discussions especially approachable, interactive, and humanizing. All faculty who read this book are certain to find new ways of thinking about their teaching and learning, their students, and themselves. 


Tara L. Parker, Chair, Leadership in Education and Professor, Higher Education, University of Massachusetts Boston

An excellent thought-provoking publication that challenges educators to transform themselves to transform their pedagogy! This work is timely and essential given the shift in the sociopolitical climate, as state legislators approve bills that prohibit the study of critical race theory in education settings. With a social justice lens, this book inspires pedagogical strategies to be informed by relational, developmental, and emotion-focus processes and are critical in education reform.
