Shortly after the giant bronze statue of Cecil John Rhodes came down at the University of Cape Town, student protestors called for the decolonisation of universities. It was a word hardly heard in South Africa's struggle lexicon and many asked: What exactly is decolonisation? This book brings together some of the most innovative thinking on curriculum theory to address this important question.

In the process, several critical questions are raised:

• Is decolonisation simply a slogan for addressing other pressing concerns on campuses and in society?
• What is the colonial legacy with respect to curricula and can it be undone?
• How is the project of curricula decolonisation similar to or different from the quest for post-colonial knowledge, indigenous knowledge or a critical theory of knowledge?
• What does decolonisation mean in a digital age where relationships between knowledge and power are shifting?

Strong conceptual analyses are combined with case studies of attempts to `do decolonisation' in settings as diverse as South Africa, Uganda, Tanzania and Mauritius. This comparative perspective enables reasonable judgments to be made about the prospects for institutional take-up within the curriculum of century-old universities. Decolonisation in Universities is essential reading for undergraduate teaching, postgraduate research and advanced scholarship in the field of curriculum studies.

Now in its third year, the AVBOB Poetry Project has garnered several industry prizes.

I Wish I'd Said: Volume 2 includes 101 poems with English translations: 55 specially commissioned poems and 44 poems drawn from the 2018 competition. And, following the blueprint of the first volume, we pay homage to the Khoisan languages, by including two poems by the |Xam poet Dia!kwain. South African poets old and new were asked to submit poems on loss, grieving, love and consolation in their mother tongues.

This new collection – and the online poetry portal – forms a space where the voiceless may be heard, and where we find common ground. Loss is a universal language and poetry its voice.

Maar Padda bewys aan sy maats dat liefde geen grense het nie. Padda is verlief is 'n storie vol pret en pragtige illustrasies, met 'n belangrike lewensles vir kinders so jonk as 3.

This thoroughly revised Handbook presents an up-to-date political and philosophical history of global constitutionalism. By exploring the constitutional-like qualities of international affairs, it provides key insights into the evolving world order. Through a sustained examination of current events, as well as an acknowledgement of the significance of early constitutional history, this erudite Handbook brings together contributions from world-leading academics. New chapters offer timely commentaries on important developments in methodology such as postcolonial and feminist approaches. By providing additional scope for analysis, this updated edition further emphasises the central message of the first: that the global order cannot be understood without a clear comprehension of constitutional theory. The Handbook on Global Constitutionalism will act as an essential resource for scholars and academics of law, politics and human rights. Due to its comprehensive examination of vital concepts such as legal theory, it will additionally be beneficial for practitioners and policy makers.

Die meeste sterre is lankal dood is die bekroonde digter Johann de Lange se dertiende bundel. Dit bestaan uit ses afdelings, deurgaans gewy aan vlietende oomblikke vasgevang in 'n vers ("om met woorde die onsegbare te sê"). Die bundel het 'n elegiese toonaard, en word oorheers deur 'n bewustheid van verlies & verganklikheid, van "inskaduwings van die lig". Verse oor die skryfproses figureer as teenvoeter vir die verbygaande aard van mens wees. Dit is verse vir "my mooi dooies". In "Oggendmusiek" beskryf die digter 'n vroegoggendkoor van voëls voor sonsopkoms, elders 'n koorddanser, voetjie vir voetjie oor die spantou. Soos in sy vorige werk is die erotiese verse 'n hoogtepunt in die bundel, bv in "Ode aan die mielie": "Nét so, nog aan die oggend ­­ tussen die syige bene van die dag ­­staan hy, volryp, pittig & reg."

Bloed & sneeu

Bloed op sneeu is ’n pasgebore rooi,
van iets gewond, ’n struikelende spoor.
En die sneeu? Is daar énigiets so mooi,
so prilwit gespits, as ’n haseoor?

From Scott Lang, the man in the Ant-Man suit, comes an ant's-eye view of what it's like to be an Avenger

ABDUCTION Isandro is thirteen years old when his parents are denounced and Franco's Nationalists take them by force from their village home. The boy's unusually keen sense of hearing warns him of the soldiers' approach and his father just has time to hide him. One of the attackers returns stealthily and through a crack in the floorboards, Isandro watches him. It is a face he will never forget. ESCAPE Now alone and distrustful of the villagers, the boy escapes to a cave in the high Sierra of the wild Alpujarran mountains of Andalucia. His companions are wild boar, mountain goats, lynx, gigantic eagleowls, rabbits, hawks, deer and vipers and ultimately an abandoned hunting dog terrified of guns. SURVIVAL His lone survival, his journey into manhood and his unrelenting quest for justice, lead him to an awareness of passionate love and to the discovery of the secret of his birth.
