🚀 We had the pleasure of converting Children of a Bitter Harvest by Susan Levine into an ePub for Lynne Rienner Publishers.

Sharing more than a hundred interconnected stories, Susan Levine memorably documents moments in the everyday lives of children who worked in the heart of South Africa's wine industry between 1996 and 2010.

The children introduced in the book—if they survived AIDS—are now young adults in a new South Africa that ostensibly offers possibilities for overcoming the shackles of race and class domination. However, as Levine makes clear, in the absence of radical economic restructuring, they are extremely poor adults; the costs of inequality and injustice remain high. South Africa, Levine reminds the reader, though a nation that managed to end the brutality of apartheid, has not managed to replace brutality itself.

🚀 We had the pleasure of converting The Russo-Ukrainian War by Richard Sakwa into an ePub for Lynne Rienner Publishers.

The number of casualties in the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war is rapidly approaching 1.5 million, with no resolution in sight … a staggering reality. Seeking to make what sense is possible of this catastrophic conflict, Richard Sakwa meticulously explores the origins, course, and consequences of the war in the sweeping context of global and domestic politics since 1945.

Sakwa's balanced analysis centers on what he perceives as the five levels of the conflict: the dynamics of Ukrainian politics, the evolution of Russo-Ukrainian relations, the relationship between Russia and the West, broad changes in international politics, and the prospects for a viable and sustainable peace. In explaining—without endorsing—the logic behind actions on all sides, his goal is to contribute to a path toward that peace.

What are the consequences of assassination for international politics, diplomacy, and international law? These are the fundamental questions animating this ground-breaking exploration of the adoption and deployment of assassination as an instrument of statecraft.

🚀 We had the pleasure of converting Edson Sithole by Brooks Marmon into an ePub for Lynne Rienner Publishers.

Born in Southern Rhodesia, self-made intellectual Edson Sithole (1935–1975?) was a lawyer (the first Black person in southern Africa to earn a doctorate in law), an anticolonial nationalist, and a trailblazing pan-Africanist with one of the strongest voices in Zimbabwe's liberation movement. A political prisoner for nearly half of his adult life, he vanished in 1975—presumably kidnapped and killed by the Rhodesian Special Branch, though that has never been proved.

Brooks Marmon traces Sithole's life, presents unabridged transcripts of both his writings and interviews with him, and discusses his legacy. Marmon's extensive archival research and interviews across three continents help bring to light the activist's considerable contributions, as well as the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.
