Plate en Politiek
0R435,00Populore Afrikaanse musiekkunstenaars het sover goed gedoen in post?apartheid Suid-Afrika en geniet die entoesiastiese ondersteuning van lojale volgelinge. Hierdie ondersteuning word aangevuur deur ‘n komplekse stel emosies wat verband hou daarmee ?om Afrikaans te wees? in ‘n kultureel pluralistiese samelewing. In Plate en Politiek ondersoek Van der Merwe die interaksie tussen populore musiek en die ontvouing van ‘n Afrikaanse kultuurpolitiek vanaf die begin van die twintigste eeu tot die hede. Dit sluit ‘n soektog in na die eerste opgeneemde Afrikaanse liedere en dokumenteer die daaropvolgende fases van musiekontwikkeling wat die agentskap van ordinore mense ? kunstenaar en luisteraar ? weerspieal teen die agtergrond van fundamentele sosiale en politieke verandering. Dit besin oor beide die musiekhoofstroom en meer alternatiewe musiek, en ontbloot onder andere, historiese voorbeelde van die akkommodering van, en verset teen, die meesternarratief van die Afrikanernasionalistiese ideologie, pogingsvan kulturele entrepreneurs om beheer uit te oefen oor populore Afrikaanse kultuur, klassespanning, blywende rasse-eksklusiwiteit, protes en sensuur, en die post?apartheid oproeping van Afrikaner nostalgie en wit slagofferskap. Uiteindelik bied Plate en Politiek ‘n on-onderbroke weergawe van, en ‘n kritiese blik op, meer as ‘n eeu van opgeneemde Afrikaanse musiek.

Pnil of Yesterday / Pnil van Gister
0R180,00Pnil is a leafy, tranquil hamlet, nestling in the picturesque, mountainous region of the Boland in the Western Cape, between Stellenbosch and Paarl.
Its name was derived from a scripture in Genesis, meaning OThe face of GodO. Pieces of land were given to the inhabitants after the emancipation of slavery. As it was a mission station, it was strictly run on Christian principals, executed by a management board in co-operation with the Church.
All the children attended the local primary school and went to the neighbouring town to go to high school at either Noorder-Paarl or Lckhoff. Some dropped out, out of necessity to help with the income of their families for survival. Others who got bursaries attended colleges and a handful went to the University of Western Cape.
Through education and hard work by dedicated men and women, the town flourished, thrived and resulted in the prosperity of the current inhabitants of today.

Preaching Promise within the Paradoxes of Life
0R450,00Paradoxes have become characteristic of the world we live in ? poverty and privilege, empire and oppression, migration and enclaveseeking, war and peace, justice and injustice, reconciliation and revenge. During the 2016 Societas Homiletica annual conference held in South Africa, these paradoxes served as a rediscovery of the calling of preachers to deliver the promise that lies within life’s contradictions. A divine promise brought forth by the grace of God and the gospel of Christ ? embodied in and through us by the Spirit of Christ. This promise may take many forms and calls for discernment and often interrupts the status quos in surprising, shocking ways. It is a promise that interrupts, in order to comfort.
