While books on archaeological and anthropological ethics have
proliferated in recent years, few attempt to move beyond a
conventional discourse on ethics to consider how a discussion of
the social and political implications of archaeological practice
might be conceptualized differently. The conceptual ideas about
ethics posited in this volume make it of interest to readers
outside of the discipline; in fact, to anyone interested in
contemporary debates around the possibilities and limitations of a
discourse on ethics. The authors in this volume set out to do three
things. The first is to track the historical development of a
discussion around ethics, in tandem with the development and
"disciplining" of archaeology. The second is to examine the
meanings, consequences and efficacies of a discourse on ethics in
contemporary worlds of practice in archaeology. The third is to
push beyond the language of ethics to consider other ways of
framing a set of concerns around rights, accountabilities and
meanings in relation to practitioners, descendent and affected
communities, sites, material cultures, the ancestors and so on.

This wide-ranging volume offers a detailed exploration of
coloniality in the discipline of linguistics, with case studies
drawn from Africa, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean.
Colonial meanings and legacies have returned to the forefront of
many academic fields in recent years and linguistics, like several
other disciplines, has had an ambivalent relationship with its own
histories of practice in colonial and postcolonial worlds. The
implications of these histories are still felt today, as colonial
paradigms of knowledge production continue to shape both academic
linguistic practices and non-specialist discussion of language and
culture. The chapters in this volume adopt a range of different
conceptual frameworks - including postcolonial theory, southern
theory, and decolonial thinking - to provide a nuanced account of
the coloniality of linguistics at the level of knowledge and
disciplinary practice; crucially, the contributors also expand
their investigations beyond this ambivalent inheritance to imagine
a decolonial linguistics. The volume will be of interest to all
linguists looking to critically assess their own practices and to
engage with debates at the cutting-edge of their discipline,
particularly in the areas of sociolinguistics, field linguistics,
typology, and linguistic anthropology, as well as to those outside
the discipline engaging with questions of coloniality.

"New South African Keywords "sets out to do two things. The first
is to provide a guide to the key words and key concepts that have
come to shape public and political thought and debate in South
Africa since 1994. The second purpose is to provide a compendium of
cutting-edge thinking on the new society. In this respect some of
the most exciting thinkers and commentators on South Africa have
tried to capture the complexity of current debates. The result is a
concise and insightful guide to postapartheid South Africa, which
should be useful to students, citizens, tourists, business
managers, decision makers--in fact, to anyone wanting to make sense
of South African society today.
This fun, anarchic series revolves around a boy called Max and his
mission to make the world a better place. In each book in the
series Max tries to save the planet through positive direct action,
with hilarious results but real heart too. Unfortunately, not

Our daily lives are often very full - full of things to do, places
to be and people to meet. For some of us they may be full of time
on our hands, hopes we would like to fulfill, things we don't want
to face. Where is God during our daily lives? How do we find God in
the fullness of life? Everyday Faith invites you on a journey of
living faithfully, hopefully and lovingly as a Christian in the
21st century. It offers 21 daily Bible reflections to inspire you
to find and follow God in the ordinary - and perhaps extraordinary
- stuff of life. It includes real life stories of how others have
found God at work in their lives, and a simple pattern of prayer to
help you pause and be aware of God. Everyday Faith is a Church of
England discipleship campaign starting Plough Sunday 2020 (January
12th). It is supported by additional material and video animations
