Religion and nationalism are both powerful and important markers of individual identity, but the relationship between the two has been a source of considerable debate. Much, if not most, of the early work done in Nationalism Studies has been based, at least implicitly, on the idea that religion, as a genealogical carrier of identity, was displaced with the advent of secular modernity, which was caused by nationalism. Or, to put it another way, national identity, and its ideological manifestation nationalism, filled the void left in people''s self-identification as religion retreated in the face of modernity. Since at least the late 1990s, this view has been increasingly challenged by scholars trying to account for the apparent persistence of religious identities. Perhaps even more interestingly, scholars of both religion and nationalism have noted that these two kinds of self-identification, while sometimes being tense, as the earlier models explained, are also frequently coexistent or even mutually supportive. This collection of essays explores the current thinking about the relationship between religion and nationalism from a variety of perspectives, using a number of different case studies. What all these approaches have in common is their interest in complicating our understandings of nationalism as a primarily secular phenomenon by bringing religion back into the discussion.

Dette nummer af tidsskriftet Ledelse i morgen indeholder følgende artikler:Ledelse i mediekrisens skyggeAf Rasmus Anker RysgaardDenne artikel beskriver, hvordan en uheldig sag lynhurtigt kan få ben at gå på i dagens medielandskab, og som leder bliver man derfor nødt til at reagere hurtigt. Artiklen giver seks konkrete redskaber til at håndtere en evt. krise i medierne eller på de sociale medier. Heriblandt at forholde sig konkret til krisen på de sociale medier, når den opstår, og som leder lade medarbejderne vide, at det, der foregår, håndteres på betryggende vis. En væsentlig pointe er åbenhed i ledelseskommunikationen.Hvad sker der med kommunikationen, når mediestormen raser over de kommunale organisationer?Af Caroline Howard Grøn og Heidi Houlberg SalomonsenI denne artikel er fokus på omdømme- og krisehåndtering i offentlige organisationer. En vigtig pointe er, at den offentlige organisation taler med én stemme, både i medgang og modgang. Men det kan være svært, da et centralt kendetegn for den offentlige organisation er, at den er politisk ledet, og for politiske organisationer er uenighed en del af det at være demokratisk styret. Og hvad stiller man op, når den politiske uenighed går ind og udfordrer krisekommunikationen.Skolelederens stemme og lærerne: Less is moreAf Russell J. QuagliaDenne artikel har fokus på skolelederens stemme som det vigtigste redskab til at influere og lede forandringer på skolen. Men i for mange tilfælde bruger lederen sin stemme til at instruere i stedet for at lede gennem samarbejde, og uden en velformuleret, stærk og tillidsfuld stemme kan man ikke forvente, at skolen gør fremskridt. Artiklen beskriver, hvordan man som leder kan udvikle sin egen stemme i kommunikationen med skolens lærere, og giver klare strategier til at implementere og udnytte stemmen til at skabe positive forandringer i skolefællesskabet.Anmeldelse af Arbejd dybtAf Grethe AndersenAnmeldelse af Fire strategier til en bæredygtig skoleAf Grethe Andersen

Praise the artist for describingthe indescribable. Pity him for havingto.Shattered is an existential x-rayto the mechanics of reincarnation & spiritualism. It's a personal journey through the interactions of therelationships that we each have, with each other; & with ourselves. Through a lifetime, numerous threads, sewntogether become the fabric of who we each are; & along the 24 years of thisnovel, the connections of each of the characters within, build a composite ofthe patchwork quilt, of the all of creation. Even the most individualized experiences of a person's life, foreign tothose who don't live them, become universalized in the way that we, asemotional beings, interpret them. Shattered is, that common thread.

First published in 1916, Sol Plaatje's Native Life in South Africa was written by one of the South Africa's most talented early twentieth-century black leaders and journalists. Plaatje's pioneering book arose out of an early African National Congress campaign to protest against the discriminatory1913 Natives Land Act. Native Life vividly narrates Plaatje's investigative journeying into South Africa's rural heartlands to report on the effects of the Act and his involvement in the deputation to the British imperial government. At the same time it tells the bigger story of the assault on black rights and opportunities in the newly consolidated Union of South Africa - and the resistance to it. Originally published in war-time London, but about South Africa and its place in the world, Native Life travelled far and wide, being distributed in the United States under the auspices of prominent African-American W E B Du Bois. South African editions were to follow only in the late apartheid period and beyond. The aim of this multi-authored volume is to shed new light on how and why Native Life came into being at a critical historical juncture, and to reflect on how it can be read in relation to South Africa's heightened challenges today. Crucial areas that come under the spotlight in this collection include land, race, history, mobility, belonging, war, the press, law, literature, language, gender, politics, and the state.

The invention of the Groff changed everything. It propelled people out-of-body and into the shallows of subtle-space, to skim, or ghost, intimately alongside the physical world. As the twenty-first century staggered towards its conclusion everyone was travelling out-of-body, for work or pleasure, legal and illegal. But with new freedoms and opportunities came new forms of power, crime, vulnerability and madness. Now, an immensely powerful SuperGroff could punch minds far deeper. The Argentinian Collective's leading scientist, Vicente, has disappeared during a mission into deepest subtle-space. Vicente's partner Tasha, a renowned psychotherapist, believes it is madness to enter such regions and that out-of-body galactic travel is impossible, merely a dangerous illusion. As the search for Vicente erupts into full-scale conflicts both in subtle-space and South America, casualties mount, deepest beliefs are challenged and relationships transformed.

Danley and Dr. Peter Hughes explore the most common dysfunctions preventing managers from promoting healthy, vibrant, and sustainable workplaces in this field manual written in the form of a medical encyclopedia.They identify toxic behaviors and cultures such as "managerial addiction," which is identified by fixations on fame, power, money, adulation, and territory; "lack of shame," which is the inability or diminished capacity of a manager/executive to feel embarrassment, disgrace, or ignominy for unscrupulous actions; and "inadequate knowledge of line operations," which is defined by an inattention to and/or insufficient knowledge of daily operations.

The "race" question has been raging all over the world since the early days of the human, but nowhere else has the debate taken dramatic proportions as in South Africa in the 20th century. A cooking pot of peoples, ethnic groups, languages, tribes and cultures, South Africa was a perfect test bed for the 'race' question, fired up by the ambers of colonialism. How could the issue be resolved? A certain Peter Nielsen in his manuscript "The Black Man Place in South Africa" gives a fascinating answer_a century ago. A treatise on the so-called "Native Question" of the times, this forgotten manuscript makes fascinating reading for anyone. Whatever your interest, this book will definitely inform your perspective; find out for yourself. "CAPTIVATING AND FASCINATING" Simon Thorpe
