    Globalization, the latest mode of production in the world system: How regional powers have intensified and expanded capitalism
    (Common Ground Research Networks, 2018) Nelson-Richards, Melsome Mordechai; Mutizwa-Mangiza, Shingai
    This article examines globalization as a mode of production, tracing it from the pre-capitalist mode in Africa and linking it to the capitalist mode and, finally, the globalization mode. It is intensified and directed by the USA and the European Union through global foreign direct investment, treaties, conventions, and other initiatives by the European Union. It concludes that Asia, free from civil strife for five decades (unlike Africa), and with less stranglehold by capitalism and implementing progressive policies, has fared much better.

    The need for a new language? How historically disadvantaged institutions grapple with the effects of labelling in Higher Education: the case of the University of the Western Cape
    (Taylor & Francis, 2017) Africa, Cherrel; Mutizwa-Mangiza, Shingai
    Tertiary institutions in South Africa have been dichotomised through the colonial structure and apartheid which sought to subjugate some institutions and elevate others. Not only have historically disadvantaged institutions (HDIs) faced a set of deep material difficulties, they have also had to grapple with the negative implications of naming. Using the work of Stryker and Burke as well as Bourdieu, this article interrogates the complexities of the HDI label for the University of the Western Cape. This is a complex issue because the same label can simultaneously provide access to state resources and inhibit opportunities from potential sponsors and employers. Unlike individuals who can hold multiple identities, institutions are expected to embrace a particular identity. Our conclusion is that we need to open the conversation about institutional labelling and develop a new language to describe former HDIs which should ideally acknowledge their difficult history without perpetuating stigma.
