In The Great Pretenders: Race and Class under ANC Rule, veteran political analyst Ebrahim Harvey delivers a stinging critique of the ANC. This must-read analysis reveals the complete failure of the ANC to roll back the race and class divide.
Harvey argues that a series of events – including HIV/AIDS denialism, the Marikana shootings, the Nkandla funding scandal, mass student protests, the Esidemeni tragedy, systemic corruption and state capture – are rooted in policy choices made by the ANC during negotiations and in power. This book is not just an evisceration of the ANC, however, as Harvey is able, through many interviews and patient delving into the past and present, to provide an indispensable guide to the future.
The Great Pretenders is fierce, passionate and provocative. It is certain to provoke those in power, stirring debate on not only the pernicious issue of race relations in South Africa, but on how to create the shared society promised us.

Far too often, our students attain only a superficial level of
knowledge that fails to prepare them for deeper challenges in
school and beyond. In Teaching for Deeper Learning, renowned
educators and best-selling authors Jay McTighe and Harvey F. Silver
propose a solution: teaching students to make meaning for
themselves. Contending that the ability to ""earn"" understanding
will equip students to thrive in school, at work, and in life, the
authors highlight seven higher-order thinking skills that
facilitate students' acquisition of information for greater
retention, retrieval, and transfer. These skills, which cut across
content areas and grade levels and are deeply embedded in current
academic standards, separate high achievers from their
low-performing peers. Drawing on their deep well of research and
experience, the authors: Explore what kind of content is worth
having students make meaning about. Provide practical tools and
strategies to help teachers target each of the seven thinking
skills in the classroom. Explain how teachers can incorporate the
thinking skills and tools into lesson and unit design. Show how
teachers can build students' capacity to use the strategies
independently. If our goal is to prepare students to meet the
rigorous demands of school, college, and career, then we must
foster their ability to respond to such challenges. This
comprehensive, practical guide will enable teachers to engage
students in the kind of learning that yields enduring understanding
and valuable skills that they can use throughout their lives.

What if one half of a pair of twins no longer wants to live? What
if the other can't live without them? This question lies at the
heart of Jente Posthuma's deceptively simple What I'd Rather Not
Think About. The narrator is a twin whose brother has recently
taken his own life. She looks back on their childhood, and tells of
their adult lives: how her brother tried to find happiness, but
lost himself in various men and the Bhagwan movement, though never
completely. In brief, precise vignettes, full of gentle melancholy
and surprising humour, Posthuma tells the story of a depressive
brother, viewed from the perspective of the sister who both loves
and resents her twin, struggles to understand him, and misses him
terribly.
The Look of Jazz "David's photographs perfectly illustrate the
passion, creativity and commitment of these musicians, and distil
the atmosphere of live jazz in dazzling detail." Helen Mayhew, Jazz
Broadcaster The Look of Jazz is a collection of 90 photographs of
musicians taken by photographer and musician David Harvey. The book
includes exclusive interviews with 24 of the featured musicians in
which they talk about their own stories, inspirations and views on
jazz. The portraits include a cross section of musicians, several
of whom are variously club owners, educators, journalists and
contribute in different ways to the continuing development of the
jazz scene. Among the American and European artists featured are
Jerry Bergonzi, Kirk Lightsey, Don Weller, Emilia Martensson,
Gareth Lockrane, Julian Siegel, Tristan Mailliot and Nikki Iles
alongside other leading figures on the jazz scene. "I have also
included some less well-known but amazing players in recognition of
their contribution to the jazz tradition," says David. The Look of
Jazz includes portraits from two exhibitions of David Harvey's
work, In the Moment and One More Time... Journalist, broadcaster
and musician Jay Rayner called the first of these "a very lovely
exhibition of terrific photographs of jazz musicians."
