Decolonising Colonial Education
This book on decolonising education chastises, heartens and invites academics to seriously commence academic and intellectual manumission by challenging the current toxic episteme – the Western dominant Grand Narrative that embeds, espouses and superimposes itself on others. It exhorts African scholars in particular to unite and address the bequests of colonialism and its toxic episteme by confronting the internalised fabrications, hegemonic dominance, lies and myths that have caused many conflicts in world history. Such a toxic episteme founded on problematic experiments, theories and praxis has tended to license unsubstantiated views and stereotypes of others as intellectually impotent, moribund and of inferior humanity. The book invites academics and intellectuals to commit to a healthy dialogue among the world’s competing traditions of knowing and knowledge production to produce a truly accommodating and inclusive grand narrative informed by a recognition of a common and shared humanity.

Ready Or Not-- They're Gay
Paul and Hjordy Wagner know what it is like to have a child come out - they have had that conversation, not once, but twice. Both their sons, Brad and Andrew, are gay. The Wagners quickly embraced their sons' sexuality, but they soon realized that for other families, the transition was often not as smooth. Many young gay people today muster the courage to come out to family, only to feel ostracized and abandoned by loved ones as a consequence. In Ready or Not; They're Gay, the Wagners share their own journey to acceptance of their sons' sexual identity with the hope that other families will be better equipped to approach the news of a gay child or loved one in a healthy, positive way. Including a range of perspectives on the experience from their circle of family and friends, they offer guidance for parents and teachers of gay children and tips for the GLBT community on how to make the coming-out talk easier on both parties.
