Ways of speaking can help heal or they can provoke; they can
inflame passions or settle nerves.' Professor Jonathan Jansen is
fast becoming a household name in South Africa, for his critical
and at times inconvenient voice. In this collection of articles
previously published in The Times Jansen highlights the issues that
confront our country -- the issues we need to talk about. With
humour, humility, occasional anger and a good dose of common sense
Jansen discusses education, race and identity, the state of our
nation, leadership and even sport. When asked what the secret of
his controversial columns is, he answers, 'A good column upsets
half of your readers; the secret is that it should be a different
half each time.' Jansen takes his inspiration from a diverse group
of people -- statesmen, teachers, students, children and everyday
South Africans he meets -- and introduces us to them through these
stories to bring us a vision of the South Africa we can build, if
only we pull together and work to heal the wounds of the past. A
book to make you stop and think ... and then talk about his ideas
around the dinner table, in the staffroom, in the classroom or on
the bus. All the royalties from this book will go to the No Student
Hungry campaign at the University of the Free State.
