While the ruling National Party feared the integrative effects of television, they did not foresee how exclusion from globally unifying broadcasts would gradually erode their power. South Africa was barred from participating in some of television's greatest global attractions (including sporting events such as the Olympics and contests such as Miss World). With the release of Nelson Mandela from prison came a proliferation of large-scale live broadcasts as the country was permitted to return to international competition, and its re-admittance was played out on television screens across the world. These events were pivotal in shaping and consolidating the country's emerging post-apartheid national identity. Broadcasting the End of Apartheid assesses the socio-political effects of live broadcasting on South Africa's transition to democracy. Martha Evans argues that just as print media had a powerful influence on the development of Afrikaner nationalism, so the 'liveness' of television helped to consolidate the post-apartheid South African national identity."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aApartheid in mass media 606 $aTelevision and politics$zSouth Africa$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aDevelopment studies$2BIC 607 $aSouth Africa$xHistory$vChronology 615 0$aApartheid in mass media. 615 0$aTelevision and politics$xHistory 615 7$aDevelopment studies. 676 $a968.064 676 $a302.23450968 700 $aEvans$b Martha$01262983 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154882303321 996 $aBroadcasting the end of apartheid$92955698 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02872nam 22004333 450 001 9911034854903321 005 20251012090350.0 010 $a0-520-41384-9 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC32077194 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL32077194 035 $a(CKB)41594492100041 035 $a(OCoLC)1522801578 035 $a(EXLCZ)9941594492100041 100 $a20251012d2025 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe Almond Paradox $eCracking Open the Politics of What Plants Need 205 $a1st ed. 210 1$aBerkeley :$cUniversity of California Press,$d2025. 210 4$d©2025. 215 $a1 online resource (0 pages) 225 1 $aCritical Environments: Nature, Science, and Politics Series ;$vv.19 311 08$a0-520-42306-2 311 08$a0-520-41383-0 327 $aCover -- Series -- Title page -- Copyright -- Subvention -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction: Naturalized Extraction and Knowing Otherwise -- 1.

Notorious for consuming vast volumes of water and trucking honeybees across the continent, California's almond orchards appear extraordinarily needy. In Spain, however, almond trees have long epitomized the exact opposite: rain-fed resilience. Often planted at the margins of agricultural viability, almonds are championed for their ecological thrift rather than their thirst. How is it that a crop can be known in such radically different ways? The Almond Paradox explores a captivating contrast between divergent ways of knowing not only how much water or pollination almond trees need, but also which trees should be grown and where. Charting the buildup to a global almond boom, the book exposes how situated histories of capitalism, land, science, and the state profoundly shape the most fundamental ways of understanding agriculture. A recognition of knowledge as place based further reveals how seemingly placeless efficiency deepens ecological precarity. 410 0$aCritical Environments: Nature, Science, and Politics Series 676 $a634.55 700 $aReisman$b Emily$01851592 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911034854903321 996 $aThe Almond Paradox$94445448 997 $aUNINA
