M.S. Sallie - Rebellion, Community, Township Art and Heritage in the era of Apartheid. This work is a vibrant fusion of the life and art of a quintessential Johannesburg painter and a classic twentieth-century South African story.In this book, Bashier Sallie creates an archive of the life of his grandfather, Mogamat Sallie Sallie, the remarkable man who was so influential in his upbringing. M.S. Sallie was a master craftsman, a saddlemaker, a Rakam creator, a fine artist and a leader of his community. His story of a life spent inFietas, Sophiatown, Albertville, Kliptown, Newclare and Spitskop Avenue, Bosmont South Africa is the story of many of our elders... In Canvases of a Mubarak Life, Bashier has captured, through text and Mogamat's numerous paintings, a remarkable artist's story, but also the story of a community.The book is a welcome addition to an extremely limited archive of work by artists of colour who created their artworks under apartheid. This unheralded artist, M.S. Sallie, emanated from and lived amongst the very communities that were so deeply affected by the actions of the repressive regime. This book therefore serves as an important personal archive for the Sallie family, but also as a significant addition to the recovery of that which was lost or refused within the annals of South African art history.

Drawing on seemingly unrelated instances of essential worker shortages around the world, investment analyst Shamil Ismail connects the dots to build a compelling and well-researched narrative explaining why aging populations and declining birth rates are leading to a shrinking workforce of essential workers in developed countries, which could massively disrupt their societies and economies.Ismail methodically unpacks the factors driving this escalating crisis, and shows why proposed solutions such as automation, AI, and raising the retirement age will not fix the problem. Ultimately, attitudes to immigration must change, as more and more affected countries will need to "import" workers and consumers to prop up their economies and maintain their standards of living.When are we likely to see the first major signs of this new reality? Which countries will be first impacted, and by when? How will companies and investment markets be affected? What could the world look like in the decades to come? And what will this mean for the future of our children? Sifting through the data, trends and forecasts, Ismail answers these intriguing questions, allowing us to prepare for the daunting future that lies ahead.
