Discovered as a typewritten manuscript only after her death in 2006,Family of Earth allows us to see into the mind of the young author andAppalachian native Wilma Dykeman (1920-2006), who would become oneof the American South's most prolific and storied writers. Focusing on herchildhood in Buncombe County, Dykeman reveals a perceptive and sophisticatedunderstanding of human nature, the environment, and social justice.And yet, for her words' remarkable polish, her voice still resonates as rawand vital. Against the backdrop of early twentieth-century life in Asheville,she chronicles the touching, at times harrowing, story of her family's fortunes,plotting their rise and fall in uncertain economic times and endingwith her father's sudden death in 1934 when she was fourteen years old.

Wearily, I take the path to the river, there in the cool to fill my being with the sounds of my sister-being, to refresh myself in the modest scents of pigeonwood and mitzeerie, to let my gaze end in a tangle of monkey ropes and fern arches and the slowly descending leaves, and to find rest, all day long, all night long.

A young slave girl accompanies her owner on an expedition into the African interior in search of a mythical city. In unfamiliar terrain, the party gets lost. One by one, our narrator's companions disappear, leaving her to take refuge in the hollow of a baobab tree. There, she finds the space and will to reflect upon her life's journey, telling her story to the boabab itself. This powerful fable, translated from Wilma Stockenström's original Afrikaans by Nobel Prize-winner J. M. Coetzee, is a remarkable portrait of dislocation and empowerment. It is also a brilliant insight into Cotezee's craft as a writer.

Hierdie roman het as verteller 'n eenkantvrou en oujongnooi wat (op 'n plattelandse dorp in die eerste deel van die twintigste eeu) terugkyk op haar lewe – as 'n versorgster in gegoede witmense se huise, eers as hulp met kinders en later vir oumense en sterwendes. Sy vertel van die insig in die dood wat sy so by die baie sterwendes gekry het. Dan raak sy ook uiteindelik sterwensbegeleidster vir Abjater, 'n man wie se goue lag sy in haar jongdae bewonder het, iemand wat vir haar soos 'n "uitverkorene" gelyk het. So peins die verteller aan die einde van 'n lewe waarin sy, soos sy elders se, "by die dood ingeboek" was: "Miskien het ek met die dood getrou, kom dit by my op ... maar nou raak ek sat vir hom. Hy bly my pal besoek. Hy bring net woeligheid."

This title was first published in 2003. Using a behaviourist and quantitative approach, this study examines the vexed questions surrounding the economic and cultural integration of immigrants into the Netherlands. The authors use the Dutch case as a specific example of a wider European problem. The book examines the two opposing theoretical and political points of view on integration, whether immigrants need to adapt to the dominant culture before they are able to fully participate in socio-economic life, or whether as they participate in socio-economic life they will gradually adapt to the dominant culture. Based primarily on quantitative research, the authors unravel the complex interrelationship between cultural and socio-economic integration. They explore some of the barriers to entry into Dutch society and discuss questions of ethnic identification, parenting, educational achievement and the labour market. Since contextual factors clearly affect integration, the study also looks at the effects of migrant policies and immigration policies in different West European countries and examines social distance from immigrant groups by the native Dutch population.
