Nation-building imperatives compel citizens to focus on what makes them similar and what binds them together, forgetting what makes them different. Democratic institution building, on the other hand, requires fostering opposition through conducting multiparty elections and encouraging debate. Leaders of democratic factions, like parties or interest groups, can consolidate their power by emphasizing difference. But when held in tension, these two impulses—toward remembering difference and forgetting it, between focusing on unity and encouraging division—are mutually constitutive of sustainable democracy. ​Based on ethnographic and interview-based fieldwork conducted in 2012–13, The Black and White Rainbow: Reconciliation, Opposition, and Nation-Building in Democratic South Africa explores various themes of nation- and democracy-building, including the emotional and banal content of symbols of the post-apartheid state, the ways that gender and race condition nascent nationalism, the public performance of nationalism and other group-based identities, integration and sharing of space, language diversity, and the role of democratic functioning including party politics and modes of opposition. Each of these thematic chapters aims to explicate a feature of the multifaceted nature of identity-building, and link the South African case to broader literatures on both nationalism and democracy.

The idea behind Chu Chu & Shamones to basically outline the concept of two young School Children and their exploration of exciting adventures, at the stories take place and begins at the end of each day after School, as of when Chu Chu & Shamone are given assignments to do, and where their magical worlds and fun begins, whereby the two main characters meet with someone who assist them in their journey through these imaginative places of exploration. At some point Chu Chu & Shamone forget themselves and are almost lost in these other worlds, and so realise that maybe they have wondered too far and soon begin to feel that they have to somehow get back home to their own reality and have to find a way of how this can be achieved, once Chu Chu & Shamone have explored every possibility they eventually find the answer that will lead to them both getting back home. The format behind Chu Chu & Shamones adventures is to present four stories that should encourage and contain the events of the story as it unfolds, as well as engaging a young audience with a basic lesson of discovery within a adult and child learning context and structure, as this can be achieved by simple reading the story to stimulate and satisfy a Childs curiosity and imagination by using the interesting backdrops of the narrative which motivate the story, allowing the adult and child to engage or as the story and the plot unfolds, the characters of both Chu Chu & Shamone are derived from two separate ethnic cultures and so their background and relationship is to be one of special interest and should also be both informative and educational. Chu Chu are characterised, animated, or drawn and as a young modern day Chinese Boy and Shamone should is characterised, or animated and drawn as a young modern African girl, as it is also the idea that they are both still at a Primary School level of education, and so this should place both characters at around the School age of Ten Years or younger, although other characters are written and structured in the series, this should more or less be done with the idea that they empower or put emphasis on the two main characters, which are Chu Chu & Shamone.

Venerated as god and goddess, feared as demon and pestilence, trusted as battle omen, and used as a proving ground for optical theories, the rainbow's image is woven into the fabric of our past and present. From antiquity to the nineteenth century, the rainbow has played a vital role in both inspiring and testing new ideas about the physical world. Although scientists today understand the rainbow's underlying optics fairly well, its subtle variability in nature has yet to be fully explained. Throughout history the rainbow has been seen primarily as a symbol&—of peace, covenant, or divine sanction&—rather than as a natural phenomenon. Lee and Fraser discuss the role the rainbow has played in societies throughout the ages, contrasting its guises as a sign of optimism, bearer of Greek gods' messages of war and retribution, and a symbol of the Judeo-Christian bridge to the divine. The authors traverse the bridges between the rainbow's various roles as they explore its scientific, artistic, and folkloric visions. This unique book, exploring the rainbow from the perspectives of atmospheric optics, art history, color theory, and mythology, will inspire readers to gaze at the rainbow anew.
