Fault Lines
0R375,00EWhat is the link, if any, between race and disease? How did the term baster as Omixed raceO come to be mistranslated from OincestO in the Hebrew Bible? What are the roots of racial thinking in South African universities? How does music fall on the ear of black and white listeners? Are new developments in genetics simply a backdoor for the return of eugenics? For the first time, leading scholars in South Africa from different disciplines take on some of these difficult questions about race, science and society in the aftermath of apartheid. This book offers an important foundation for students pursuing a broader education than what a typical degree provides, and a must-read resource for every citizen concerned about the lingering effects of race and racism in South Africa and other parts of the world.

Feeling lives: An intersectional exploration of past experiences and present living
0R365,00We each make sense of the world through our embodied, feeling lives. We do it through the social groupings, contexts and processes which history (rather than biology) presents and assigns to us. In this collection, we aim to illustrate how these embodied feelings and emotions underpin contemporary theorising by sharing reflective autobiographical writing by individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and contexts. This somewhat unruly collection unsettles conventional academic writing precisely because authors have grounded themselves in the tangible and the personal rather than in abstract theory. We hope that readers might see aspects of their own lives in some of these stories, develop better understandings of lives that are experienced very differently, and start (or continue) to theorise their own lives.

Festschrift in honour of Allan Boesak
0R345,00Allan Aubrey Boesak, renowned theologian, anti-apartheid activist and politician, turned 70 on 23 February 2016 and in his honour a number of his friends, colleagues and students contributed to this festschrift. These essays can be regarded as academic commentary, impressionistic overviews or brief notes on the life and work of Allan Boesak. For much of his public life Boesak has been a controversial figure: for the politically oppressed during the apartheid years he represented their anger and resistance; for the politically dominant he was an irritant, a troublesome preacher. The contributors write with unconcealed admiration about Boesak’s theological and political activism, leadership, eloquence and intelligence. His life and his formation as a black liberation theologian are recounted, often framed by the contributor’s view of his prophetic calling.

Fritz Ponelis en die Afrikaanse Taalwetenskap
0R310,00Die boek lewer On belangrike bydrae ten opsigte van die nasionale n internasionale gesprek oor teoretiese taalkunde. Ponelis self het bydraes in Afrikaans n Engels gelewer en het in internasionale akademiese tydskrifte gepubliseer. Daarom is dit belangrik om sy spoor te volg vanaf sy eerste publikasie tot by sy dood en veral nou, meer as 10 jaar n sy afsterwe, waar sy spore steeds duidelik in sy vakgebied afgedruk l en nuwe navorsing steeds uit sy werk voortspruit. Uiteraard is iemand van di statuur se navorsing belangrik vir die vakgebied as geheel en behoort die relevansie van so _ belangrike persoon se nalatenskap van tyd tot tyd herevalueer te word. Die hoofstukke wat in hierdie boek vervat is, bou meestal voort op Ponelis se baanbrekerswerk op uiteenlopende terreine van die taalkunde, maar neem dit ook as uitgangspunt vir nuwe navorsing wat op sy beurt waarskynlik deur vakkundiges in Nederland en die Engelstalige wreld gelees en verreken sal word.

From Hope to Action through Knowledge
0R575,00Its November 2001. A university in dire straits, financially bankrupt burdening a debt in excess of R100-million, a disillusioned and demoralised staff complement still reeling from the trauma of retrenchments, coupled with an academic project facing collapse as student numbers dwindle by a third to less than 10 000. Is there a future for such an institution, described by some as a Obasket caseO with very bleak prospects of survival? This was the landscape that confronted the newly-appointed Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the University of the Western Cape.
Fast forward to December 2014. The CEO retires from office, bestowing upon his successor a financially sound institution with a flourishing academic project, recording unprecedented achievements, enriching the lives of more than 20 000 students, and widely acknowledged as a research-led university.E
This book narrates how visionary leadership with the steadfast belief that your past does not determine your future, galvanised an entire organisation into believing that a better outcome was indeed achievable, and the will to move forward as a collective with a redefined purpose and commitment to achieve that which was once deemed impossible.
